Waldorf Iridium 5-stars Reviews

Incredibile, una tonnellata di suoni e di possibilità

Superlativo, facile da programmare intuitivo e lineare, solo il motore kernel deve essere studiato per essere capito ( e non è detto che lo si capisca appieno ), fare modulazione carrier con una wavetable ha dei risultati difficilmente prevedibili ma questa è la sua magia. Fosse stato multitimbrico a 4 parti avrebbe toccato la perfezione.

Non eccezionalmente solidi i 6 encoder a lato del display. a voler essere pignoli è l'unica pecca, ma stiamo parlando di una macchina davvero libidinosa

FUTURISTIC SOUND

Iridium is complex sound design but not complicated and excellent for the sound quality. This gears is categorize as Lamborghini/Ferrary or HERMES of Sinthesizers.

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.
