Waldorf Iridium Core
Waldorf Iridium Core is a compact digital synthesizer with 5 synthesis engines, 3 generators, 6 envelopes, 6 LFOs, 5 effect slots per layer, 12-voice polyphony, and a 64-step sequencer.
Iridium Core is based on the synthesizer engine that underpins the Quantum/Iridium line of synthesizers from Waldorf. It represents the core of Waldorf's most advanced hardware synthesizer technologies and embodies innovative sound.
Iridium Core features 5 synthesis engines: wavetable, multi- and granular sampling, wave shaping, core FM synthesis, and resonator synthesis. Along with a wide selection of digital filters and signal processing options, Iridium Core opens up a vast universe of electronic sounds. An intuitive graphical interface helps maintain creative flow.
The compact form factor makes Iridium Core an ideal companion for travel and live performances, easily fitting into laptop bags and carry-on luggage.
Iridium Core comes with a massive collection of over 1700 presets and samples that inspire sound experiments. A rich and diverse assortment of sounds created by designers fuels musical endeavors.
The device integrates easily into various stage and studio setups, connecting to modular synthesizers, drum machines, sequencers, and computers. The compact form factor fits well into desktop and space-constrained configurations.
Iridium Core uses the same software platform as Quantum, Iridium Desktop, and Iridium Keyboard. All instruments run on Waldorf's synthesizer OS and receive joint updates, participating in future improvements and developments.
