The Waldorf Iridium is a powerful 16-voice, bi-timbral digital polyphonic synthesizer that adapts the high-end sound engine of the flagship Waldorf Quantum into flexible desktop, keyboard, and compact core formats.

Key Features & Architecture
Sound Engine: Features 3 digital stereo oscillators per voice with 5 distinct synthesis algorithms: Wavetable, Waveform (Virtual Analog), Particle (Granular), Resonator (Physical Modeling), and Kernel (FM/Phase Modulation).

Filtering & Shaping: Includes 3 stereo filters per voice featuring dual digital filters with independent LP/BP/HP modes, alongside a Digital Former containing comb filters, bit crushers, and additional models.

Modulation: Equipped with 6 envelopes, 6 LFOs, a user-programmable Komplex Modulator, and a comprehensive 40-slot modulation matrix.

Interface: Centered around a vivid, high-resolution multi-touch color display complemented by dedicated encoders and a 4x4 pad matrix for triggering notes, chords, and sequences.

Included are more than 2000 presets.
You can imagine having the hardware in front of you - works similar to the Access Virus TI emulation of the other group.

For now its MacOS 12 or later, and ARM only VST3+AU
And its heavy on performance. One instance on M4 Pro is running fine.
Of course you can import all your soundbanks and patches for Iridium - its 1:1 working like the hardware.

Head over to MSJ for more info!

 

Nice, was going to have a pop at this myself, the joys of AI.

 

MSJ?

 

Can't believe it.

 

Can(t find it anywhere ...

 

Is this for real? Am I not hallucinating this from waking up too early?

 

That is a fake!

 

MSJ - MacSerialJunkie

 

Intel version ?

 

Found the MSJ, it’s not fake, haven’t downloaded yet

 

ok no fake ;)

 

I assume its the mk1?

 

This isn't fun.

 

Hello, how do I connect to MSJ? Could someone invite me? I dream of trying Iridium, but it's an unattainable dream for me...
Thanks! ;)

BTW. the VST works like a charm on an M3 Max.

 

Can somebody record an audio file and attach here(win user)?

 

it's for real... but the buffer size a bit chunky, lowest it goes is 1024

 

Thanks that did it for me works a dream on a Mac Studio Apple M2 Ultra too

 

Works perfectly on the M5 Max! Great project! Just a few dropouts, but nothing too serious.
