Thank you. This is really helpful for me. I hope that you can do an overview about the kernel osc one day. your channel is one of the best in my opinion.
Btw does the Quantum do anything special with samples in terms of pitch shifting? Or is it just the regular speed up and slow down the sample as per other samplers as we know it? I ask because I love using samplers like Samplewiz/V-Synth and the way those synths pitch samples can lead to amazing sounds.
@@neilloughran4437 Thanks a lot. No the Quantum does not do the kind of intelligent pitch shift that you get in a vsynth unfortunately. They could of course add it in firmware at a later date but not many companies seem to have perfected that technology in their products....
@@TimShoebridge yeah really odd that... wonder why hardware samplers/synths have not really embraced it... Samplewiz in particular is amazing when using the "modern" setting... and that's years old and AFAIK not developed anymore.
This is great. I have not even explored the sampling side of the Quantum. Seems like no more a pain than the Kronos was. I sampled the crap out of my OSCar before I sold it and look forward to making polyphonic OSCar patches for the Quantum
Cheers Tim! I was hoping for one of these videos. I really hope they implement disc streaming and a proper import / auto-mapping function. Far too much effort for me to be bothered with.
Thanks Tim, cool stuff! As I saw you using the standard Windows file exporer, did you ever try the Resonic program for quickly browsing samples? Highly recommended.
Tim, I love your vids and honesty. I'm thinking of getting one of these. I've been searching the net for a few questions, so maybe you can help. Does it have a randomizer? and does it have a software editor? I'm really interested in the sampling aspect, but your saying it's very limited . so is this a machine that you love to death, and creates sounds that are worth the $$$? Thanks. And again, you vids are top top quality. like watching a classic film
In my opinion, yes. Many woyld maby say its to complicatet synth. But i didn‘t think so. The structure is very clear and easy to understand. You can start with wuantum, like it was an normal analog synth with a well known panell like the Minimoog. You can start very simple and if your skills grow, you can get as deep as you want and get lost in a good way. Furthermore it is able to do FM, Wavetable, Samling and more. Its a cool synth but i do not like the analog filters. I never turn them on. So maybe its more wise to get the iridium for less mony.
It is when you have multiple samples mapped to the same key or key range, so each time you press a key you will hear a different sample. Round robins help to create a sense of realism.
Is there any tool to import multi samples from a computer ? The creation should be massively easier. I know that specter for blofeld could do it for blofeld, but I do not know anything about the supported formats of the Iridium. Also can you store the preset on the sdcard usb stick?
Iridiummm But really neither... they don’t offer any synthesis options I don’t already have. FM and PM are far more robust in the Kronos and Padshop 2 is probably the best granular engine ever made with the added perk of spectral synthesis.
If I had my time again I would choose Iridium over Quantum, just because I prefer 16 voices fully digital to 8 voices with analog filters. The biggest limitation I find with the Quantum is polyphony
But now we have 16 Voice Polyphonie on the Quantum now. And the Quantum has a bigger Interface with more controlls. Would you prefer the iridium anyway?

Great info thanks Tim, like the sample too!
Thanks a lot Matt, really appreciated. Looking forward to seeing your Quantum/Iridium video soon :)
This is a real good tutorial, thanks for sharing this!
Thank you! Best Quantum/Iridium Videos on TH-cam.
Ottimo lavoro, ottima presentazione, molto utile!
Thank you. This is really helpful for me.
I hope that you can do an overview about the kernel osc one day.
your channel is one of the best in my opinion.
Thank you for the video, I could not figure out where the samples went :)
Thanks for this. Awesome... I think I have to buy this unit very soon. Greetings from Germaica!
Great video as usual Tim. You must be helping to shift a lot of their units with the quality of this content.

Is it a way to
sequence your patches in a mpc track1,2,3 etc or do i have to do
each patch 1 at a time and then record it and then do another one?
Thanks for this Tim.

The effects sound pretty good from the Quantum. Effects have gotten better over the years inside of the synths.
Very helpful sir! 🙏
Useful as ever!
Thx man, cool video!
Wonderful video as always, this sample import seems tedious, with sample robot support note supporting quantum irridium is it easier?
Thanks Tim, cool stuff! As I saw you using the standard Windows file exporer, did you ever try the Resonic program for quickly browsing samples? Highly recommended.
Thanks for the tip, I will check it out 👍
grazie

Is this a good synth to learn synthesis on and grow with for all kinds of electronic music.
In my opinion, yes. Many woyld maby say its to complicatet synth. But i didn‘t think so. The structure is very clear and easy to understand. You can start with wuantum, like it was an normal analog synth with a well known panell like the Minimoog.

Waldorf needs to create an editor for PC. They did cut many corners for a premium software based synth.
I saw Sample Robot now supports Iridium. Must make things much easier. This looks painful. Great video though
Round Robin? is that when you have 3 samples each in a different octave?
It is when you have multiple samples mapped to the same key or key range, so each time you press a key you will hear a different sample. Round robins help to create a sense of realism.
Can you import Vst plugins patches or presets from a sd card into the iridium?
No. Only Iridium or Quantum presets.
Hola, he comprado el pack de Nylon, a mi no me aparece en el menu de tools de particulas , la opcion de import. Alguna idea? No puedo instalarlo bien.
It's in Particle>Action>Add now rather than Particle>Action>Import

Sample robot 6 so I believe:)
Iridium or Quantum? Which is your preference?
Iridiummm

@@TimShoebridge Thank you for your feedback sir. It is an interesting viewpoint, and makes sense.

He occasionally says monophonic when he means monaural, but we know what he means.
