Waldorf Iridium

Sixteen-voice multi-engine desktop synthesizer

The Waldorf Iridium, released in 2020, is a sixteen-voice duo-timbral desktop synthesizer that condenses the Quantum's full synthesis engine into a rack-compatible unit. Each voice provides three oscillators with five selectable modes - wavetable, waveform, particle, resonator, and kernels - three stereo filters, a 40-slot modulation matrix, and a color touchscreen. Patches are interchangeable with the Quantum.

    The Waldorf Quantum and Iridium form a family of flagship multi-engine synthesizers sharing the same five oscillator modes per voice - wavetable, waveform (virtual analog), particle (sampling and granular), resonator, and kernels (FM) - with patches interchangeable between them. The Quantum is the keyboard flagship; the Iridium condenses the same engine into a desktop unit.
