Waldorf Iridium Core Desktop: What is it?
A few years ago, Waldorf created one of the biggest buzzes in the world of hardware synthesizers, with the Quantum. A resplendent, five-octave synthesizer, bedecked with more pots than you could shake a stick at, it also featured a generous touchscreen at the heart of the control panel, making programming and sound creation a total breeze. However, what set the Quantum apart, from the more traditional analogue fare, was its versatile and extraordinary synth engine, encompassing virtual analogue, sampling, granular, and the welcome return of wavetable. As Waldorf is the company that rose from the ashes of PPG, who effectively invented wavetable synthesis, this felt like a groundbreaking moment for the contemporary age.
