Waldorf Iridium MK2 - Powerhouse Synth Review

video upload by sonicstate

"Paulee Alex Bow (‪@magicalsynthadventure3216‬ ) takes a look at the new monster synthesis machine - the Waldorf Iridium MK2 (‪@WaldorfMusicChannel‬ ) a 16-voice synthesizer with four layers and wavetable, FM and sampling engines.

Paulee gives us an overview of the hardware, the new Seeds synthesis, which blends up to 12 mini-synths scanned like a wavetable, plus the flavor knob for note-on randomisation.
Four layers bring a mixer and round robin key assignment, while Aphex Twin-inspired per-note parameter locks assign different sounds and engines to each key.
There's Kernels FM, a Kawai K5-style additive patch, legacy grunge modes, SoundFont conversion via ConvertWithMoss, granular synthesis and CV inputs.

Priced around £2,085 its a robust wavetable synth for tweakers
