Iridium Desktop MK2 - Based on the legendary multi-engine design of the Quantum and Iridium product line, this new generation innovates even further, fitting perfectly into Waldorf’s forward-looking synthesizer design philosophy. The MK2 features a new design and an upgraded CPU board with expanded RAM and flash storage, allowing for larger sample capacity and opening a whole new world of synthesis capabilities.
Waldorf Iridium MK2 Desktop Synthesizer Features:
More Memory, More Layers: With increased memory, up to 4 multi-timbral layers are now possible. In addition to layered and split modes, round-robin and random-robin modes allow the creation of rich, complex sonic landscapes, perfect for sound designers, sonic explorers, and cinematic artists.
“Seeds”: The Sixth Synthesis Sense: Extra RAM enables a sixth synthesis method per oscillator. Inspired by wavetable synthesis, in which each wavetable represents a timbral journey, Waldorf has found a way to base these timbral journeys not only on static waveforms but also to dynamically synthesize each waypoint from sub-oscillators called "Seeds".
“Flavour” Knob: Introduced with Protein, it adds sonic liveliness via micro-variations in timing, timbre, pitch, and other parameters.
Per-Note Parameter Locks (ft. Aphex Twin): As a new special feature resulting from a collaboration with Aphex Twin, each of 128 notes can have up to 16 individual parameter variations, including the synthesis mode of oscillators and effect parameters. Changes are saved per patch and editable on a dedicated page.
