Dub Techno Chords - Sound Design with Sequential Rev 2

video upload by Martin Stürtzer

"This video is the first part of a three part series where I explain how I design chords and sounds that I use in my Dub Techno music. This is a basic setup using the Sequential Rev2 that can be translated to any other synthesizer (hard- or software) with a similar feature-set. Effects are from the Strymon Timeline and Eventide H9. Additional use of U-HE Presswerk.

Ambient / Berlin School with Waldorf Iridium & Modular synths

Martin Stürtzer

Waldorf Iridium - CV Inputs - Patching with Modular

Martin Stürtzer

"The Waldorf Iridium is a new synthesizer from WALDORF. It brings the infinite possibilities of the Quantum synthesizer to a more portable (and much more affordable) format.

The Iridium has six CV inputs. It is possible to modulate all parameters of the synthesizer with external sources like Sequencers or modulation generators. I show a few patch ideas.

This is not a sponsored video, I purchased the Iridium from a regular retailer."

Waldorf Iridium - Polyphony, FM, Wavetables, Granular

Martin Stürtzer

"The Waldorf Iridium is a new synthesizer from WALDORF. It brings the infinite possibilities of the Quantum synthesizer to a more portable (and much more affordable) format.

In this video I demonstrate a few features and create a patch from INIT to show the workflow. The Iridium has 16 note polyphony (Quantum has only 8) which is good for playing piano sounds and pads with very long releases.

The first patch shows the FM engine (called Kernel) with a DX7 style piano sound. In the second patch I used three Wavetable oscillators with factory Wabetables. Then I import Wavetables from the SD card and use the sample / granular engine to create a new patch using an old sample from AKAI."

Waldorf Iridium - Unboxing and first ambient sounds

Martin Stürtzer

"The Waldorf Iridium is a new synthesizer from WALDORF. It brings the infinite possibilities of the Quantum synthesizer to a more portable (and much more affordable) format.

I got it today and have NO IDEA how to use it, this video was recorded during the first minutes that I explored the Iridium."
