Presentation
After presenting the Iridium as a top-of-the-range synthesiser in a compact format, Waldorf presents its 49-key version. Fitted with a FATAR TP/8SK keyboard with semi-weighted polyphonic aftertouch pressure, it offers the musician individual transmission of each note played. Unlike a monophonic keyboard, here each key is individually affected by finger pressure, creating, for example, individual data streams for modulation purposes.
The front panel has been enlarged to offer button control for every function, aided by a highly responsive industrial-grade touchscreen.
Six freely programmable Macro buttons are also available alongside the Pitch and Mod wheels. These allow users to define functions from a wide range of features for fast, at-a-glance control.
The Iridium keyboard offers powerful modulation options with no fewer than 40 independent modulation assignments, each with individual parameters. It is also capable of handling MPE (MIDI Polyphonic Expression) data, making several parameters of different notes separately controllable, bringing its behaviour closer to that of an acoustic instrument in terms of polyphonic control of sound.
Iridium keyboards contain 1,680 sounds programmed by famous sound designers such as Howard Scarr, Richard Devine, Jörg Hüttner, Kurt Ader, BT, Reinhold Heil, Mike Huckaby, Thorsten Quaeschning, Matt Johnson and Sascha Dikiciyan.

To find out more...
There are five different synthesis models for each of the three oscillators:
- Wavetable: a table of single-cycle waveforms,
- Waveform (virtual analogue): a standard oscillator model for creating typical analogue waveforms,
- Particle (sampling and granular sampling): extended manipulation of sample-based sounds,
- Resonator: manipulates multiple samples from the internal sample flash memory (2GB) or noise via an exciter and various spectral parameters that can be modulated. Incomparable for generating impressive animated sounds and drones, which can, for example, be easily integrated into a Eurorack modular synthesizer environment via the keyboard connections (CV In1, CV In2, CV In3 and CV In4),
- Kernels: allows an oscillator to become up to six sub-oscillators that can be linked together by FM at an audio rate and arranged in user-definable constellations.
Please note: Inputs can be used as modulation sources in the modulation matrix.
