Common Waldorf Iridium Questions
How do I sync the Iridium's internal sequencer and arpeggiator to an external MIDI clock source like my DAW?
Go to the Global settings (Shift + Menu) and navigate to the MIDI Clock section. Set 'Clock Source' to 'MIDI', and ensure your DAW is sending MIDI clock on the correct MIDI channel which is also set within the Iridium's MIDI settings.
Where are my Iridium sound presets saved, and how can I back them up?
Presets are stored internally or on the included SD card, organized into banks. To back them up, use the Iridium's file management system (Shift + Menu, then navigate to the SD Card menu) to copy entire banks or individual presets to your computer.
How do I quickly access and load different oscillator models (Wavetable, Particle, Resonator, etc.) for a sound?
Press the 'Oscillator' button to select the oscillator you want to change, then use the 'Model' encoder or the touchscreen to browse and select your desired model from the available options for that oscillator.
Why am I not hearing any sound even though the Iridium is powered on and I'm playing notes on my MIDI keyboard?
First, double-check the volume knob and headphone output level. Then, ensure that the correct MIDI channel is selected both on your MIDI keyboard and in the Iridium's Global MIDI settings; also check that the local control is turned on in the Iridium's MIDI settings.
What are 'Kernels' in the Iridium's Wavefolder module, and how do they affect the sound?
Kernels within the Wavefolder module determine the specific wavefolding algorithm being applied, influencing the timbre and harmonic content of the sound. Experiment with different Kernel settings to explore a wide range of wavefolding characteristics, from subtle warmth to aggressive distortion.
