Iridium : Fantastic synth

What a beast this synth is! I hesitated a little after reading some horror stories about quality and white screens but am very happy that I went for it. My iridium doesn't have any quality issues; it's built like a tank, a hefty peace of equipment. During the past three weeks in operation it only crashed (white screen) on me twice.

Pros:

- Very knobby interface - easy to change parameters on the fly

- Pretty intuitive for such a deep synth engine, the UI is very helpfull

- The granular implementation is a blast; load a sample tweak and get instant results

- It imports DX7 patches; just stick some sysex files on a usb thumbdrive and you can import them straight away!

- It's got close to 2.5 GB of flash RAM to store your own samples

Cons:

- You spend hours tweaking and loose track of time

- Program change only works for 128 "favorite" patches; this could be improved in a firmware update hopefully.

- Like with so many other offerings sysex seems to be abandoned; I'd love to be able to dump the current selected patch to a DAW to store it as part of the project I'm working on.
