  • Mr. Cline is back on deck with an incredible flagship synth from Waldorf, the Iridium. We've already done our deep dive with the synthesizer, but today we're taking a leap into KERNEL MODE. Take a listen and let us know what you think!

    It's awesome to see more videos into the tech of the Quantum and Iridium! It seems like the internet forgot about these legendary synths lately despite still being very relevant!

    I’m selling my Waldorf iridium desktop,
    Then I’m driving from Dallas to Alamo music to buy the iridium keyboard from you Chris. You better be there!!!
    My iridium is truly a “from my cold dead hands” instrument, It’s beyond belief and an inexhaustible tool for sound creation.
    Best synth I’ve ever had and I’ve been a synth addict since my DW-8000 in 1986. My Korg prologue will never leave either.

      Thanks, Patrick! What's your next synth? I know of one that would be perfect for you.

    Very cool! I’ve never heard this referred to as a kernel oscillator, but it’s quite similar to what you can do with the OpSix by combining the various operators in different ways with different waveforms. Also reminds me a little of Kurzweil’s VAST architecture.

      Kinda, imagine the power of three op sixes in one patch

      Nice call! I was just thinking about the K2000 and how incredibly powerful it was when it was released in the early 90s. And regarding the Opsix, the kernel oscillator definitely goes into FM territory. The Iridium is a total stunner!

      Just got an Iridium. Frightening FM potential. Not nearly as direct as with my Opsix, which stays in my studio for that very reason.

    Is it possible to make the kernel oscillators free running? This patch is a bit fatiguing to the ears because they’re all starting at the same phase.

    Can’t imagine how impressed you would be with a Nautilus haha
    Does the iridium maintain 16 voices if you’re using all three timbres at once?

    • @DonLeino
      @DonLeino 10 місяців тому

      Pretty sure it's three oscillators per voice . And a kernel operator has 6 operators ( 1 DX7) . So with bitimbrallity you have 6 6op FM synths at once. And yes Kronos nautilus can prolly do more FM at once.

    Kernel as in the same as what you would get from using Windows? The nitty gritty guts of it?
    Sadly this is a synth that I will never be able to afford.
