Here is a quick video showing the method I follow generally to import samples into the Quantum and begin to use them in patches. The same method applies equally to the Iridium.
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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?
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.
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
