The powerful \u003cstrong\u003eQuantum\u003c\/strong\u003e synthesizer engine is now available in a compact form. Following in the footsteps of its bigger brother, Iridium features all the synthesis elements of \u003cstrong\u003eQuantum\u003c\/strong\u003e in a rack-compatible format. The combination of the powerful engine, incredible flexibility, and detailed sound modeling features creates endless sonic possibilities. However, the complete layout and easy-to-understand structure allow you to design your own sounds in no time. With a solid metal casing and the same high level of craftsmanship as Quantum, Iridium is ready to take on studios and stages around the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eContributing another entry to the rich history of \u003cstrong\u003eWaldorf\u003c\/strong\u003e, Iridium joins the family as a direct descendant of the PPG Wave. However, Iridium offers much more than its ancestor. Five different synthesis models are provided by Iridium for each of the three oscillators:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWavetable\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWaveform (Virtual Analog)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eParticle (Sampling and Granular Sampling)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eResonator\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eKernels\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eKernel mode was introduced with the \u003cstrong\u003eQuantum OS 2.0\u003c\/strong\u003e. This major update allows you to convert an oscillator into up to six sub-oscillators. These can be interconnected via audio-rate FM and arranged in user-definable constellations. This enhancement alone would have provided enough additional features to create a synthesizer on its own. Now, all those features have also been integrated into Iridium.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eUp to 7000 patches can be saved in Iridium. Quantum patches can be loaded into Iridium and vice versa.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIridium\u003c\/strong\u003e features three digital per-voice filters. Two are in the dual filter section and one in the digital filter section. Several types are available to choose from: 12 or 24 dB and Lowpass\/Highpass\/Bandpass with optional saturation or grit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSeveral filter models are available, including those from \u003cstrong\u003eWaldorf Nave\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eLargo\u003c\/strong\u003e, and \u003cstrong\u003ePPG 3V\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe dual filter section can be controlled independently or together in several different linking modes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Digital Filter section offers all the filter types and models of the Dual Filter section, as well as unusual models such as Comb, Drive, Bitcrusher, and more.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAll filters retain a true stereo signal throughout the instrument's structure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e6 Envelopes, 6 LFOs, and many more are waiting to be used as sources in the 40 slots of the Modulation Matrix. Each slot has an additional control amount. Modulations can be routed to almost all of Iridium's numerical values. All sources and destinations can be used as many times as desired until the Modulation Matrix is full. If you ever run out of LFOs or envelopes, you can use the Komplex Modulator to generate a custom-shaped LFO or envelope.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDespite the amazing number of parameters to control, everything in \u003cstrong\u003eIridium\u003c\/strong\u003e is organized in a logical structure that is easy to master. The main controls have their own dedicated knob, while the rest are accessible via the touchscreen and surrounding encoders. There are no long menus to stop you from doing what you planned. Instead, you will find a workflow that you will soon miss on other synthesizers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIntegrated into the front panel, a 4x4 silicon pad matrix invites you to launch notes, chords, arpeggios, and sequences with up to 32 steps for notes and multiple parameter lines. Direct access to parameters is guaranteed by the seven encoders located to the left and right of the touchscreen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe large color touchscreen of the \u003cstrong\u003eIridium\u003c\/strong\u003e keeps you informed at all times. When you move a knob, Iridium gives you visual feedback of its changes in real time. Filter curves move, particle grain sizes change, envelope shapes shift, and much more:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Komplex Modulator curves can be drawn with your finger\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEnvelopes show where the voices are currently at\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWavetables are displayed in the global view modes\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eVU meters show which voices are being used and individual voice levels\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDifferent analyzers display the audio signal at different points\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTwo audio outputs allow you to listen to Iridium, while two inputs allow Iridium to process external signals. 4 CV inputs plus Gate In and Trigger In are ready to send external signals to the Modulation Matrix. In addition, Clock In and Clock Out will put your equipment in sync. MIDI connections can be made via USB and MIDI DIN. Iridium is also equipped with a USB Host port for MIDI devices. This port also handles data exchange, in addition to the MicroSD card slot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIridium\u003c\/strong\u003e is designed, built, and manufactured in Germany. All components used are of industrial quality to create a reliable studio device that is made to last for many years. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"WALDORF","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57311651266891,"sku":"106583","price":2333.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0973\/0955\/7067\/files\/iridium_aufsicht_a54d7250-2814-4e74-a19b-ecab63e11394.jpg?v=1779195612","url":"https:\/\/microfusa.com\/en\/products\/waldorf-iridium-21006","provider":"microFusa","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
