Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Waldorf’s Iridium Keyboard puts the Iridium sound and power into a 49-key Fatar TP/8SK instrument with polyphonic aftertouch and a three-contact key mechanism. Its color touchscreen, expanded one-knob-per-function front panel, and six programmable Macro buttons provide direct performance control. Choose from 1,680 sounds and textures, store thousands of custom settings, or exchange sounds with Iridium Desktop and Quantum. Per-note aftertouch transmission gives individually controlled response across notes played together.
