@@NicolasMelis Of all worlds. I absolutely love the warmth of the analog world as well, but there's just something about the vast limitlessness of the iridium that goes beyond anything I've ever heard.
@Nicola Melis Ciao, ho da poco comprato un Iridium Keyboard per la fame di sperimentare con i suoni. In attesa che arrivi, posso farti qualche domanda a riguardo? Ad esempio, come ti trovi con un synth digitale al 100% e se senti in qualche maniera la "mancanza" di un suono analogico più pieno e rotondo. Vorrei anche avere il tuo feedback sull'affidabilità dell'Iridium, se la tua unità ha mai avuto qualche problema di sorta. Grazie!
Bonjour nicolas. Ca va? Incroyable!!!!! J adore❤ l intro❤❤. Merci. Bisou. La musique est superbe. Douce❤❤❤. Isa💞💞💞💞💞💞💞😋😋😋😋😋☺☺☺🤩🤩🤩🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🎶🎵💯💯👍👍👍👍🎹🎹🎹🎹🎹👄👄👄👄
great playing.... ive been looking at the new iriduim core, today.. but... i might just get the key version.i want it to dwell with akai mpc live 2 wondering how or which would suite better for setup...any advice before i possibly waste my money
Thank you!! I don’t really know cause i ‘ve never played the desktop version but if i had a midi controller or a an other synth with a very good keybed i would go for the desktop to save some money :)
I currently have a keyboard version. If you dont mind a lot of menu diving you can go with Core. Unless the aftertouch is decisive for you I would recommend you to go with Desktop version. The notable advantages with the Desktop version are cheaper price space, and more importantly the select keys for LFOs and Envelopes. I fail to understand why they havent provided these keys on the keyboard version. Its annoying on the Keyboard version to go to the menu every-time you want to select the LFOs and the envelopes 3 to 6. I mean yes you can get used to it. But its quite handy to have those buttons there. On the other hand the keyboard is built like a tank. I have had many keyboards and synths and Iridium keyboard built quality is among the top 3. You wouldn't really regret much for the extra price. But as i said i would go with the Desktop version as it has everything i would need and a little more flexibility indeed.
This is the future of synths: Big touch screen, multiple displays, clever user interfaces and workflows, super powered processing, AND CODE. Future generations will outperform this platform at a fraction of the price. At times I hear hazy complex sounds in this video like the processor is doing too much, and sound is getting micro-distorted and micro-lagged. I don't think this is advanced or as clean as it can be in the future. I would return the iridium and wait for next Gen once the 1) coding is more mature, 2) everyone has stolen each other's cool features, and 3) processor power is way better for cheaper.
Great machine but yes you have some valid points :) i ve borrowed the Iridium from a friend to check it out and i really liked it to be honest but its a bit pricy for me at the moment ..
I also struggle with distortion on my Iridium KB. I think it comes from the filters; if the sound source is directly routed to the … ahem … “VCA“, the sound is pretty clean. The Iridium requires careful gain-staging like an analog synth. As soon as I‘ve got my 3rd Wave, I’ll probably sell the Iridium.
@@NicolasMelis Since there is no well-assorted dealer nearby, I use to buy synths after watching >50 YT reviews and sound demos. According to those, the 3W is a beast. It has the same filter as my beloved P5 Rev 4. So what can go wrong?

Of all my years doing research on which synth I find to have the best sound of them all, this is the #1.
You mean from the digital world or in general?

Gives any analog a run for its money. Incredible sounds
Great synth 🎹
Great playing and the keyboard sounds wild. I love this synth, good video!
Glad you like it! Thank you 🎹

Kind of sounds like the 1980s on VHS 📼

est ce qu'il y a des samples comme dans le quantum ??
Seems like sounds warmer than most of modern mashines ??
For a digital synth yes, i really like it
Sounds fantastic 👏👏👏
You have to get one, if you don’t have already:), i ve borrowed this from a friend..
@@NicolasMelis dang, this might increase the risk of divorce 😃
@@CaughtInJoy i feel you 😄

Oh man you have all the good stuff! 3d wave didn’t have the chance to play it yet .. must be a killer from what i see online

@@RayyMusik yes i do the same thing!! Have fun with it and let me know if you like it :)
👌
🙏🎹
10-34-----11-30. Remix plz super
Glad you like it 🙏
are these sounds available for purchase
They are just presets inside the iridium
😳
are these factory patches?
Yes but some are bit tweaked
Nice synth but for its price it should be 61 keys.
True :) 61 keys would be great
I guess Waldorf still wants to sell some Quantum Mk.2.
Nothing really new- a V-Synth or Nordwave 2 can do the same. It's just spending money on something new
Don’t know if they can do the same but i get what you are saying :)
