Big thanks to @Technomadic for the loan of his Waldorf Iridium - the desktop incarnation of the larger Waldorf Quantum. We're pairing that with the Soma Cosmos Drifting Memory Station - (just reviewed) but it has a new Firmware - currently Beta, which adds a more traditional Looping option. This will be available as some point in the near future, but we thought we'd use it.

The Arturia Keystep 37 is plugged into the Iridium USB host port (no MIDI cables needed), the Iridium then goes directly into the Cosmos and out to the recording.
The Iridium is certainly a lovely piece of hardware with a ton of features and synthesis options - sadly we didn't have time to go into that, but the hardware is really lovely.

Absolutelly killer treat. Its sad Nick has to borrow these from a fellow musicians. Would be great companies would really understand the value of Sonic State audience. Beautiful Nick, my respect to your dedication and artistry. You do know your craft for sure … and thats why we are here :-) Great to be part of this group.

@Triames 2 года назад

I have no idea how many synths this channel has sold over the years but I'm willing to bet more than enough to let him keep the demo units

@SingularityMedia 2 года назад

Nick has sold me on most of the synths I have gotten over the last few years. I always wait for the sonicstate review on stuff I am interested in, the definitive synth reviews for me.

@simonfenn3791 2 года назад

Amazing stuff Nick. Hope you enjoy your trip, good luck getting the grenade on the plane !

Really hoping this is the beginnings of a Cosmos based Nick Batt solo album 🤞 You know we want it Nick

@erlendmagnussen8922 2 года назад

Love this. Yes, the Iridium raised for me after this. I knew the Soma was fab.

@midierror 2 года назад

Amazing demo, I've never heard one of these! CJ Bolland mentioned the Iridium as his current favourite synth when I interviewed him. I can see why now!

@mauchkimberly 2 года назад

I'm here because this combo is definitely a REAL treat.

That second jam is very dreamy. Excellent work, as usual.

@ViniciusRodrigues-nk4bs 2 года назад

Was just feeling a bit of buyer's remorse after hitting enter on an online order of the Iridium, but then I saw this and all is well again. Thank you Nick, incredible work as usual.

@jimharris6389 2 года назад

If you think the Iridium is a beautifully designed and engineered bit of kit, you'll be stunned by the physical presence of the Quantum!

@X22GJP 2 года назад

Ummm, iridium pretty much is a quantum. It also offers 16 voices instead of 8. Sure it drops the analogue filters, but makes up for it in other ways.

@jimharris6389 2 года назад

Yes I know the specs are very similar. I meant it's physical beauty and presence, which Nick goes on about a lot at the beginning. If you're impressed by the feel/design of the Iridium you'll be be blown away by the Quantum. Was what I meant.

@PaulBoos 2 года назад

Add the current Beta version of the OS to Iridium, which introduces MPE support, and it really takes off! Lovely session as always, cheers.

@truthbydesign5146 2 года назад

Great to hear about MPE, I was just wondering about that. Bet it’d be amazing to pair with Haken continuum…just wish they didn’t cost an arm and a leg.

@shorty1474 2 года назад

Love my iridium ❤️

@pzedozmusic 2 года назад

As usual, a great treat from Nick. In my experience with the Iridium, you don’t need something like the Cosmos to add those effects, the Iridium has some fantastic inbuilt effects that can do all that, and more including modulation of many effect params. New Iridium OS with MPE and more, will take it to a new level.

@sonicstate 2 года назад

Yes true, but I wanted to show off the new firmware in the Cosmos as well

@christoroppolo8742 2 года назад

Finally they get an option that makes it a real looper . I want one now . They need more of these firmware updates so performers / loopers can consider it a viable option instead of a quirky novelty . A tempo sync “everything” in multiple intervals mode is certainly something I want to see in future firmware . 👽

@billybartcody3591 2 года назад

Lovely!

@truthbydesign5146 2 года назад

Thinking about getting Iridium to pair with my Elektron OT, MD, A4 trio. I can’t imagine needing computer VST synths for anything after that. Endless possibility.

@ryanpwm 2 года назад

It’s that good. It has the best VA filters I’ve ever heard. It’s unbelievable. I have it side by side with a matriarch and it’s like… f it’s pretty damn close.

@gamma_noize 2 года назад

I want an Iridium since its release... But now I reeeaaaally want one! 😀 But... My wallet says "no!". 😕

@mmhcreates 2 года назад

8:20 have yourself a 'liquid dnb' composition, or dubstep, tempo dependent. Very atmospheric and dense, sonically rich. Needs a 'breakbeat' , and it's complete.

@richardsmithson4453 2 года назад

Already got an Iridium but I really want you to review it!

@midnightsocean2689 2 года назад

Massive combo that. Do we know what version of firmware the cosmos will be shipped with? I liked the original best.

@jacco1967 2 года назад

The 1.0 is standard. You can change to other versions with software from their website.

@martinredfield6901 2 года назад

Ok still unsyncable even with this new upgrade... but hey, it s Soma, they made unpredictable intruments, that s their beauty! Nick always on point.... PS: The Iridium is really something

That first riff... unleashing your inner Van Halen innit 😅 If you read this Nick - first thing in Berlin after Beers and Bratwurst: head straight off to Waldorf please! They just might just make us very happy. Affordable digital classic... 🤞🏻

@FaidedBTB 2 года назад

the Iridium would save so much space in it’s hard drive space if it had time stretch for the user samples🤯 I really don’t understand how they missed that

@ryanpwm 2 года назад

I mean pop in a 500GB micro SD drive. Time stretch would be cool, but it’s not really a drum machine. I mean it could be. Well shit. Hm it really could be a drum machine.

@winstonelectric 2 года назад

it's cool they've added this integration but honestly i think i prefer the total abstract initial firm

@sonicstate 2 года назад

You can still have both. There have been a couple more tweaks which seems to mix and match the algorithms

@winstonelectric 2 года назад

@@sonicstate very cool!

@stephenmandelbaum2027 2 года назад

So the Cosmos can be updated via USB stick, no computer? That could be quite convenient, how long does it take to flash the firmware? Is it one firmware or the other?

@eirikjohnsbraten6370 2 года назад

Nooo! I was fascinated by the non-rhythmic nature of this thing. I don't want this new functionality. Is it just going to be like this, or can you toggle between rythmic and non-rhythmic mode?

@midnightsocean2689 2 года назад

seconded

@sonicstate 2 года назад

It still has that. I think they should make a Firmware chooser, so you could have all the old algorithms and maybe just the regular looper or a mix and match so you can have exactly the selections of algorithms you want

@eirikjohnsbraten6370 2 года назад

@@sonicstate I agree. I fell in love with the unsyncronized delays. I want to drop sounds into it, like dropping stones into an infinite steel bucket. :D
