Waldorf Iridium Desktop mk2

Waldorf Iridium MK2 - digital synthesizer of a new generation, with 16 voices, based on the multi-engine design of the Quantum & Iridium series. It offers multiple synthesis engines, advanced modulation options, and complete connectivity for studio and live performance.

The heart of the Iridium MK2 consists of 3 digital oscillators per voice, capable of running 5 types of revolutionary synthesis:

• Wavetable: The classic Waldorf sounds that have defined entire genres.
• Multi-Sampler & Granular: Transforms any sample into complex textures.
• Waveform: Classic waveforms with modern processing options.
• Resonator & Kernel: For physical modelling and advanced FM synthesis.

Sound exploration is supported by a modulation matrix with 40 slots and a system of 6 LFOs and 6 envelopes. The "Flavour Control" function adds realism by introducing micro-variations in timbre and timing, simulating the instability of analog charm in a perfectly digital environment.
