• Speech synthesis and wavetable generation from audio
• Modulatable real-time spectral modifications and FX
• Innovative real-time modulation across wavetables
• Various interpolations modes
• Import and export wavetables from Nave format
• Import from multi- and single-cycle WAV-based wavetable files

Waveform:

• Waveform with up to 8 simultaneous waves per Oscillator
• Detuned or chordal modes
• Internal high-quality hard-sync
• Modulatable waveform warping and PWM
• Tunable noise

Particle:

• Rich stereo sampler in traditional and granular mode using multisamples
• High-quality pitch and interpolation algorithm for great sound
• Flexible Key and velocity zones
• Live input processing in granular mode
• 2 GB internal user sample Flash preloaded with high-quality sample content
• Import of sample content via USB drive or microSD Card

Resonator:

• Exciter using noise or multisampling plus filter-bank sound model
• Many modulatable spectral parameters

Kernel:

• 6 internal kernel operators per Osc using various FM, Ring-Mod, AM or wavetable-based audio-rate modulations
• Innovative macro-templates for quick and easy editing
• Rich low-level editor for additional detailed editing
• Each kernel with multistage envelope and key levels
• 5 macros based on Osc internal modulation matrix
• Import of classic FM sound patches

• Stereo multisampler with looping
• Granular sampler with extensive parameter set
• Resonator model using sampler as exciter
• Samples are organized using key and velocity maps, selections rules like round-robin, random, etc., and individual pitch, gain, and pan settings
• Samples are stored in internal Flash memory of about 2GB in capacity, prefilled with over 1GB of specially made-for-Iridium factory samples
• New samples can be recorded from external stereo audio inputs or from self-recording Iridium's own engine
• Samples can also be imported and stored to internal Flash via microSD card using WAV-file format (44.1 kHz sample rate)
• The Iridium allows for a huge range of sample-based sound design capabilities from classical synth sounds to uncharted territories. It’s worth noting that the sample use in the Iridium is always within a synthesizer's sonic context, and it is not meant to work as a bread-and-butter sample keyboard to play back like traditional sampling instruments or third-party libraries

• Seven algorithms to choose from, including up, down, random, etc.
• Octave range
• Seven sort orders
• Three velocity modes
• Gate length
• Swing
• BPM
• Beat division
• Rhythmic patterns
• Reset modes
• Keyboard Latch: Chordal and nonchordal
• Individual patterns can be created in the step sequencer, including transpositions and scale quantization
