I recently got a Q rack and am properly blown away by it, goes well beyond B&B, really has a sound to it and everything sits well in a mix also. would love to get an iridium in my studio to compare it to at some point. Sadly the control board on the Q I got borked but I immediately ordered another, the one track I made with it was just perfect for what I am after so it was the damn I really really want another Q in the studio at the moment. Q seems to sit somewhere between kernels and waveform mode from what I can tell reading up on iridium. Wonder if waldorf will reissue the Q at some point. Seems waldorfs digital PPG filter is well loved on pretty much all devices that have one, doing a serial/parallel mix of PPG + bandpass is a great way to find some interesting resonant responses.
I guess I am becoming a proper waldorf fan boy. Got the M, gotta have a Q, probably will get an iridium, maybe a classic pulse.
Folks I saw that Waldorf updated the OS of the Iridium today to v3.2.0
IIRC it includes everything the beta had.
Hereās the changelog: Quantum_Iridium_changeLog_OS_3.2.0.pdf (46 KB)
Has anyone found any percussive or drum sounds being made with the Iridium or Quantum?
Even though it has more patches than probably all of my other synths combined, the number of percussive sounds is really small, mostly just Richard Devine doing Richard Devine stuff with premade samples and the granular oscillator, and even that isnāt so much percussive as much as itās noisy.
IIRC the update file is the .BIN file that is inside the .ZIP file that Waldorf lets you download. I use a USB stick formatted to FAT32 and only drop the .BIN file in the root of the USB stick. Not the .ZIP file, just the .BIN. For Windows something like 7zip will do it and macOS does it natively.
I paid that for my Iridium Keyboard. Sorry to see that for all in the US, there shouldnāt be that big a difference between regional prices, even with tax and import duty factored in.
Arenāt Waldorf about to change distributor in the US? It might just be Korg trying to squeeze the last cash out of the cow.
Hopefully the new one will be a bit more reasonable over there, the differences in price between buying domestically vs. importing from Thomann always looked a bit crazy.
Just my personal experience and feelings about thisā¦
Screen protectors, in general, are there for manufacturing and shipping purposes, and are meant to be removed after purchase. To which end, no matter the screen in question, it will undoubtably respond better (if marginally) and, without question, look better.
Iāve been wondering the same thing. Seems like mine (Core) requires a bigger surface area of my finger to respond than what Iām used to with an iPhone or tablet.
