According to the NXP link, the main CPU is legacy chip first launched in December 2017. I’m guessing it’s the same as the one in the DT1.
So many Kingston chips in there you might expect the DT2 loves sampling Jamaican reggae

As a tinkerer with a soldering gun and DIY instructions and kit, I am envious of the knowledge and skills of development team that put this all together and came out with the D2.
What a wonderful thing to be a part of.

The Digitone (2018) has two coldfire cpus inside. This suggests that Elektron ought to be able to implement the sequencer enhancements in the DT2 in the Digitone and Syntakt in an update.

Tasty!!! IRC the sharc was in the Nord modular familiy, waldorf used them - excellent chip familiy.
It’s no vintage Motorola DSP but it will do.

I belive sharcs were always from analog devices.
Yeah, just joking a bit, old Waldorf and virus ti and I think monomachine/machinedrum were all on Motorola dsps. Wanna say my Waldorf Q with expander has 5 dsps in it.

Ah, i did have a look, youre right, the old waldorfs were on motorola dsp, the iridium has sharcs , the old nord modular had sharcs too.
I am a chip ignoramus. Know nothing about this stuff TBH.
Is this the same/similar SHARC chip that UAD use in their Apollo interfaces?
The modelling capabilities on the Apollo SHARC chips are amazing. I love the fact that I can load up a configuration on my Apollo X4 and it is stored for offline use without a computer. The plugin sound quality is outstanding.
Downside is they throw off a lot of heat. My Apollo X4 gets as warm as my Syntakt, not quite too hot to touch but certainly pretty damn warm.
There might be different versions of the sharc family, i dont know which one exactly is used in the iridium - i can confirm that the iridium gets very warm.

The big question… Do we still have room for a battery?

I believe sequential uses them too… I think I remember seeing that in my p6.
I appreciated this joke deeply
