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

Deep Forest – SOUL


video upload by Deep Forest

"The first chapter from the upcoming album SOUL.

Deep Forest has always explored the frontier between memory, technology and emotion.
From ancestral voices to new forms of sonic creation, from organic textures to AI-driven experimentation, music becomes a living, shifting presence — almost conscious.
Traditional sounds merge seamlessly with the tools of the future.
Human and machine no longer stand in opposition. Together, they create a new emotional language.
For more than three decades, Deep Forest has blended ethnic inspiration, electronic landscapes and innovative sound design, constantly searching for new sonic territories.
SOUL continues this journey into unexplored dimensions, where ancient memories, synthetic textures and human emotion intertwine.

Thus begins a new chapter of Deep Forest.

Ambient improvisation with Waldorf Microwave 1 (update V2.0, no talking, no effects)


video upload by Martin Stürtzer

"All sounds of this ambient improvisation are from the Waldorf Microwave 1 plugin, version 2.0. No external effects were used. The first sound is a pad in multimode with some LFO modulations on the filter. The second sound uses the new Poly Arp, followed by a bass patch. The patterns were recorded and looped using Ableton Live.

All patches, sounds, sequences and arrangements were made by a (cat assisted) human. No AI tools were used in the creation of the music, video and artwork.

Phil Hartnoll of Long Range shows us his synths, including his TB-303 that he has had since forever.


video upload by Tomás Mulcahy

Phil Hartnoll (Orbital) studio tour.

"I had uploaded this years ago, and as someone said at the time 'It looks like it was shot on a potato' which was true :) I used Adobe Dialogue enhance to clean up the sound, and a free online video enhance for the picture all of which brought it out nicely. The bit about the TB-303 at 7:05 is my favourite part :) Can't believe it's been almost 20 years!

Original blurb
__________________________________________________________________________________________________
Future Music Magazine, June 2007
Exclusive video of the gear in the Long Range studio

Phil runs through his synth collection detailing his best (and worst!), not forgetting the classic TB-303 on which some techno classics were written, complete with stickers for the tunes! We put him on the spot and ask which three pieces of gear he'd take to a desert island and then Nick runs through the band's bank of outboard gear. Fast!

TIMELINE: 0:00 Intro 1:30 Overview 2:20 “Oscillators” 3:30 Filters 4:00 Routing & FX 4:20 Modulation 4:45 Workflow 5:30 Build & IO 6:20 4 Timbres (MK2) 6:50 Round robin (MK2) 8:05 Seeds (MK2) 9:50 Parts seed 10:45 Wave seed 11:45 FM seed 12:35 RM seed 13:10 Dirt seed 13:30 Lucky 15:00 Note locks (MK2) 17:50 Drum synth? 19:30 Flavor (MK2) 20:20 4.0 features 20:40 Mutator 22:45 Poly Arp 24:15 Pros & cons 27:10 Outro

"I was asked how Iridium compares to Hydrasynth. Here are some pros and cons:

Hydrasynth pros:
Less expensive
Velocity and pressure sensitive pads (desktop) poly aftertouch and ribbon (keyboard version)
More filter and reverb models
Different wave mutators vs digiformer
Macro mode for the knobs
More flexible arpeggiator
Desktop version is smaller and lighter, and comes with rack ears

Hydrasynth cons:
Monotimbral, 8 voices vs Bi-timbral and 16 voices on Iridium
No resonator engine
No custom wavetables
Shorter wavetables (8 vs 128 waveforms in a table)
No sampler/granular playback engine
No engine like the kernel engines
Mono filters as opposed to stereo filters in Iridium
No proper sequencer vs two sequencers on Iridium"
