I got into synthesizers in a big way in the early 90's because you could buy a used Prophet 600 or a CZ-1 polysynth for less than $200 back then. I bought the PPG plugin and fell in love with the Waldorf sound. Now I'm waiting for the Iridium I ordered.

great overview as always Daniel - always enjoy seeing you dig into synths. I think it's worth pointing out that the kernels oscillator is so much more than just DX style linear FM/phase modulation - it also does exponential "true" FM, am, ringmod and wavetable position modulation and the type of mod going into each kernel/operator is individually selectable per kernel. Also, in the master screen there's a bass boost off/on option that is system wide and persists beyond power cycle - that has a marked effect on every sound coming out of the iridium, giving a warmer/more analog flavor when on or allowing for cleaner/more digital sounding tones when off.

All of the big 3 have superpowered workstations already

Great walkthrough, Daniel! Tempted! One question, when I connect external audio into Iridium input (Moog 37CV), does it go thru filters and FX? So Moog sound gets Iridium treatment and I play both, listening to Iridium out/phones (also connecting them midi and CV in/outs for more control). TNX!

@bungeechord13 жыл бұрын
Sure, on a 16 midi channel multi timbrel instrument you can have 16 different insrument sounds, one assigned to each channel. Splitting the keyboard allows you to assign each instrument to a range of midi notes on a keyboard or controller. If you have a 2 channel system you can only split two sounds on the keyboard or controller. Some modules or keyboards have preprogramed multi instrument splits that dont need multi midi channels.

I own a Kyra and I can't say I'd recommend it until Waldorf starts supporting it. I personally think 2500 is asking way too much for the polyphony offered on the Iridium. I understand the engine and layout are pretty unique, but it really just seems like they took the internals of the Quantum and used some scrap from the Kyra production for the synths chassis. It's a bummer they are sticking with this design IMO. Hard to find stands that are hefty enough and they aren't rack mountable or VESA mount like originally advertised
