Waldorf Iridium - Polyphony, FM, Wavetables, Granular

The Waldorf Iridium is a new synthesizer from WALDORF. It brings the infinite possibilities of the Quantum synthesizer to a more portable (and much more affordable) format. In this video I demonstrate a few features and create a patch from INIT to show the workflow. The Iridium has 16 note polyphony (Quantum has only 8) which is good for playing piano sounds and pads with very long releases. The first patch shows the FM engine (called Kernel) with a DX7 style piano sound. In the second patch I used three Wavetable oscillators with factory Wabetables. Then I import Wavetables from the SD card and use the sample / granular engine to create a new patch using an old sample from AKAI. I will post more videos about the Iridium in the context of ambient music. Post in the comments if you want to know something about the Iridium and I try to answer your questions in the next videos. This is not a sponsored video, I purchased the Iridium from a regular retailer. ➽ Listen to my new ambient album “Temporal parad
