WALDORF IRIDIUM is a powerful synthesizer that brings the capabilities of the Quantum synthesizer engine into a compact form. Unlike its larger counterpart, WALDORF IRIDIUM offers the full functionality of the Quantum engine in a rack-compatible version, allowing for seamless integration into various studio and live performance environments. With its flexible synthesis system, exceptional sound quality, and easy-to-use interface, IRIDIUM opens up endless creative possibilities.
Featuring three oscillators and five synthesis modes, WALDORF IRIDIUM provides incredible sonic versatility. It includes Wavetable, Particle (granular sampling), and the innovative Kernels mode, which turns an oscillator into sub-oscillators linked via FM. IRIDIUM blends classic and modern synthesis, making it perfect for both studio production and live performance settings.
Key Features
