From deep within the Echo Season sound lab emerges Catalyst, a meticulously crafted soundset for the Waldorf Iridium. Catalyst provides a potent alchemy of sonic timbres to add to your mix, and serves as an inspiring element to jump start your creativity. While it orbits around the Ambient/Psybient sphere, it takes a few excursions into IDM, Berlin School, Liquid DnB, and Synthwave. Producers of any genre can expect to find useful and exciting patches that can breathe new life into a track.
Catalyst features 115 lovingly handcrafted patches that range from lush ephemeral pads, immersive soundscapes, subsonic basses, to futuristic sequences, juicy resonant basslines, 303 inspired leads, as well as delicate plucks and keys, smooth bells and rich vintage synths.
The Iridium’s clear and crystalline sound is on full display, with each patch volume balanced and mix ready. All patches feature Velocity, Aftertouch and Modwheel, as well as X/Y pad assignments. Each patch is sorted by Waldorf’s factory categories. In addition, extensive modulations guarantee a multitude of permutations and invite you to twist and tweak to create your own variations.
Catalyst requires Iridium v3.0.1 and uses some factory sample content only (for granular)
Compatible with the Iridium Keys/Core and Quantum
