Waldorf Iridium Core OS Update!

September 26, 2026 / Dave Andersson

Important info for all Waldorf Iridium Core users out there!

Waldorf just dropped the 4.1.0 b1 beta OS update for the Core that improves a number of features, most notably it increases the available polyphony from 12 voices to the Iridium line standard of 16!

So now you can turn your Core into a full-fledged Iridium for free!

And it’s also worth grabbing, because our soundbanks for the Iridium Core were made using the update, to make epic pad design work easier, so if you wanna get the most from our patches, grab the update!

Our adventures at Superbooth!

May 15, 2026 / Dave Andersson

Hey all, we’re back from Superbooth 2026 in Berlin, and GASing super hard over a lot of really powerful instruments!

Had a blast meeting all the people behind the synths we make sounds for, and we went deeeep down a hole designing patches on the Iridium and Leviasynth and Fourm (and also discovered just how kickawesome the Teo-5 is)

You can see our video of the weekend, and our explorations of different synths here!

Stereo Width Tricks For The Waldorf Blofeld

October 09, 2021 / Dave Andersson

Achieving sounds that are both wide and spcaious, and also able to collapse to mono without phasing out of existence, is many producers’ biggest nightmare.

Thankfully, the Blofeld has a number of handy features buried within its many menus that allow you to manage both, and we’ll show you how right here!
