WALDORF / Iridium Keyboard

Iridium Keyboard is a state-of-the-art 16-voice digital synthesizer that combines the popular desktop synthesizer Iridium with a polyphonic aftertouch keyboard.

■Iridium Keyboard is a state-of-the-art 16-voice digital synthesizer that combines the popular desktop synthesizer Iridium with a polyphonic aftertouch keyboard. Powerful oscillator that can simultaneously use 3 powerful synthesis algorithms of 5 types (wavetable/waveform/particle/resonator/kernel), stereo digital filters and digital formers with 3 per voice (The company's software Largo, Nave, filter models used in PPG, RM, Bit Crusher, etc.) create a solid sound that is the basis. The large touch screen makes it easy to create complex sounds using a variety of modulation sources and a matrix. In addition, it is equipped with a full range of functions such as eight analog terminals that enable interfacing with Eurorack modular synthesizers. Introducing a revolutionary synthesizer that beautifully integrates a cutting-edge synthesis engine and advanced expressive power.

■ Supports polyphonic aftertouch
The world's highest quality "FATAR TP/8SK" 49-key semi-weighted polyphonic aftertouch keyboard is used. Common synth aftertouch is mono (channel) aftertouch, a technique that changes the "whole sound" by applying "pressure" to the keyboard. Polyphonic aftertouch, on the other hand, senses and outputs pressure on the keyboard on a “note-by-note” basis. For example, when holding down the 4 chords (C/E/G/B) of C Maj7, it is possible to perform advanced performances close to acoustic instruments, such as applying vibrato only to B. This polyphonic aftertouch can be assigned to any parameter via the modulation matrix.
