Has anyone used their Linnstrument with a Waldorf Iridium? I'm having some issues setting it up.

Hello all,

I was wondering if anyone has set up their Linnstrument to properly control the Waldorf Iridium and if they had setting recommendations (on both the Iridium and Linnstrument)?

I've been trying and keep getting odd behaviours like random notes, really weird and strong crackling sounds, pitch bend issues, etc.

Thanks for any help!

No, can you provide a video demonstrating these issues, along with configuration details on both the LinnStrument and Waldorf Iridium?

Here is the manual for the Waldorf Iridium:

I control my Iridium with both the Linnstrument and a Roli Seaboard and it works fine. The main issue is the Iridium won’t do 48 steps for pitch bend so you have to both set the value to 12 on the Linnstrument AND the Iridium for whatever voice you’re trying to control.

Same here the Iridium works fine with the Linnstrument except!!! it does have a serious bug in MPE mod where pitchbend doesn’t reset and the Oscillator will stay out of tune until it gets ‘bent’ back to pitch. I’ve experienced this with the Osmose, Hydrasynth and Linnstrument as a controller. Waldorf are aware of the bug though so hopefully it will be fixed in a future firmware.

I am experiencing exactly the same issue with Linnstrument, good to know it is being worked on.

As far as I know, Waldorf has been aware of that bug for a long time. Firmware beta testers were telling them about it already before the last release. I wrote to them 7 months ago about the bug and asked them last week if they are working on it. They actually didn't say that they are working on it. It was just the standard "we will forward it to the development team so that it may be considered for future updates" answer. I think everyone should write them.

I think they should also allow a global pitchbend range for MPE. It is kinda annoying that we have to save that individually for each patch and on each OSC

Just wanted to let everyone know that in their new beta they fixed this problem and implemented a global pitchbend range for mpe.

Just got Iridium MK2 and seem to have this problem - is there a workaround? Works very well with Hydra and Leviasynth - But the Iridum pitchbend reset is not working for me, any ideas?
