Superbooth 2026: Waldorf Iridium MK-II

At Superbooth 2026, we had a chat with Rolf from Waldorf who gave us insight into the Iridium MK2, the latest update to the popular synthesizer line. The Iridium MK2 stands out with increased RAM and flash storage, enhancing its capabilities with new features. It introduces the 'seats' synthesis model, generating live waves rather than static ones, which brings a dynamic element to sound creation.

Key features include five synthesis modes, a new polyphonic arpeggiator, and the ability to use four layers – all possible with the upgraded RAM. The 'lucky mode' serves as a randomizer for generating novel sounds, while a collaboration with Aphex Twin brought about per-note parameter locks, expanding creative possibilities. Also included is the 'flavor' feature that integrates micro-variations into sounds.

Priced at 598 euros for existing users seeking a CPU upgrade, the Iridium MK2 is available now, offering a modern tool for sound enthusiasts looking to expand their creative palettes and is supplied with ongoing support and firmware updates.
