Iridium Keyboard Quickstart
Loading & Editing Samples
As you may know, the Iridium Keyboard can play back
samples via the Particle generator or as an exciter for the
Resonator.
Out of the box. the Iridium Keyboard is delivered with a
bunch of audio samples, but you can also use your own
samples to create interesting sounds.
r
The Iridium Keyboard is capable of loading WAV
and AIFF/AIFC samples with bit widths from 8 to 32
(including floating point format) and all sample ra-
tes. We recommend using 44.1 kHz as the sample ra-
te, otherwise you have to use the Pitch parameter to
set the sample pitch accordingly. Sample loops are
also recognized by the Iridium Keyboard.
r
Stereo samples are supported, but you can also use
mono samples and multichannel files. In the latter
case, only channels 1 and 2 are used.
There are three ways to load/import samples for further
usage:
•
Factory samples
: you can load and edit all of the fac-
tory samples. This is the easiest way to start exploring
the sample capabilities of your Iridium Keyboard.
•
Import own audio samples
: you can import your own
samples from any USB storage device and load them in
the Iridium Keyboard’s Flash memory. Here the samp-
les are stored permanently and can be used for loading
and further editing.
•
Record own audio samples
: you can use the Audio
Recorder on the Global page to record samples via the
external audio input or they can be resampled via the
Main outputs. Recordings are stored in the Iridium
Keyboard’s Flash memory. Here they can be used for
loa- ding and further editing.
g
Here is how to import samples from a USB drive:
Navigate to the corresponding
Timbre
tab of the
Resonator or Particle generator. Tab on the
Actions
pop-up menu and select
Import
. This lets
you import samples from a connected USB drive.
