First few days with this thing. Really blown away by the particle engine.
I’ve wanted this thing for a while. Messed around with a Kurzweil and a asr10 and playing samples across a keybed sounds blissful. Very open ended and the iridium allows all this very intuitively.
Been chopping up stuff from my vhs collection. Lots of foley and orchestral/atmospheric stuff.
Blends so well with the other engines. A synth like no other very happy with my purchase <3
Hey there, just wanted to write that this was a HUGE help for me. Thank you! I’ve been having fun making different maps that specialize in different things (since CC assignments are limited) and then randomizing those CCs heh. I did want to point out that your Param Lookup is slightly outdated since the updates. They added a DigiFormerTilt at param ID 973, which bumps everything beyond that up a number.
Thanks, When I get half an hour, I’ll update it
good series that covers al the synth types
My Iridium desktop died last night 
Was working away on something else, noticed the screen went black, was expecting the screensaver, but…nothing.
Unresponsive, so I power cycled it and it struggled to life a couple of times before rebooting. I managed to get off a small number of my patches before it got stuck in a boot loop.
I tried the SD Card init procedure this morning, without success and have mailed Waldorf support.
(Unit is out of warranty and bought used over 12 months ago).
Anyone had success in reanimating their dead Iridium?
Back up your patches people. 
Oof
Mine kept crashing yesterday every time I used the digital former. I’ve had it 3 years and never had an issue with it before. Not long updated it to the latest firmware
.
Mine has been pretty robust on v3.
I hadn’t realised there was v3.2 available
Waldorf have directed me to their UK distributor Hand in Hand, hopefully I’ll get a response soon.
Heads up that Hand in Hand seem to have persistent issues with emails disappearing into the ether and/or spam filters so if you don’t hear back from them quickly I’d suggest giving them a call instead.
They’re very good but communicating via email is hit or miss to say the least, unless they’ve finally got to the bottom of it in the couple of months since I last tried 
Thanks for that. I did look up their phone number, so will chase them in 24hrs.
Mine did that (see above) from the first shipped boxes.
I think they had a memory chip issue. Mine was replaced via Hand in Hand. Dealers are better in getting in touch as resolving, otherwise be persistant.
Once you reach them, they’re quick to resolve.
Mine got stuck in a loop where it would get get as far as the Iridium splash screen and then restart the LED cycle.
Was going to send it back then realised the dangling PSU (I had Iridium on a music stand) was straining the cable entering the plug.
Despite Waldorf denying this was a possible cause, it’s been fine since I fixed this.
Yours maybe a more serious issue, but keeping fingers crossed just in case.
Thanks for that.
Yes, I’ve always been a bit dubious about that power plug, doesn’t seem like the most robust design. I’ve had it velcro’d to the Jaspers support arm to help alleviate any strain on it. I’ve just given it a wiggle after reading your post (I had it off the stand earlier to read the serial off the bottom of the unit), but sadly, no change.
May point to some sort of power issue though, given your experience. The symptoms are exactly as you describe.
Sorry to hear that.
Just dug out the diag I drew back then:
fixed mine by use of some hose pipe fixed over the socket to stop the wire from bending (elegant? no)
Best of luck sorting it out…
Does the Iridium do polyphonic glide, or is it mono only?
Mine is sold on now so I can’t double check but I believe it’s a global on/off for the patch rather than per-voice - I wondered the same thing not too long ago. I guess you can probably have different settings per layer though.
Edit: Ignore me, I’m thinking of having different glide settings per oscillator.
Just to follow up on this, I boxed it up and sent it down to Hand in Hand, the UK distributor. When they got it on their test bench, it fired up first time and stayed that way for the two weeks they had it. So, I’m not sure what the issue was. It’s been totally solid since I got it back.
I had a theory that something with my midi setup was upsetting it (only recent change to my studio was the addition of an ESI midi interface), I didn’t think to disconnect everything but PSU before sending it off.
Anyhow, a good outcome overall. H2H only charged me £40, so very reasonable and good comms too.
Anyone?
Not something I’ve used before but, from a brief play, it seems glide will always go from the last note played irresp of whether it’s still on or not.
Post up a test.mid and I’ll run it thro Iridium and upload the mp3 to make it clearer how glide behaves relative to what you want.
FYI
Looking at manual (p157) it says…
Please note that Glide affects the pitch of all oscillators.
…but given this is all done via the Layers page, I think this means you can have different settings per layer if you’re using 2 layer patch.
Well, today I loaded OS 3.2 into … I’m quite interested into the new filters, new modes on WT and everything
