Quantum Iridium Wavetables & Utilities
Note: This page is no longer updated as of April 2023. Though they are amazing and I highly recommend them, I no longer own Waldorf products and will not be blogging about them.
Waldorf Quantum & Iridium Wavetables
These wavetables work on the Waldorf Quantum Keyboard and Iridium Desktop / Iridium Keyboard, but could work on other hardware or software synths that use standard user supplied wavetables. Many synths have limitations such as a specific wave length, number of waveforms or encoded slot information. The Quantum and Iridium have more liberal limitations than any other hardware synth that I am aware of.
Current Quantum/Iridium firmware has a maximum of 2,000 waveforms per wavetable:
- 4096 sample period x 217 waveforms
- 2048 sample period x 430 waveforms
- 1024 sample period x 846 waveforms
- 512 sample period x 1,645 waveforms
- 256 sample period x 2,000 waveforms
- 128 sample period x 2,000 waveforms
- 64 sample period x 2,000 waveforms

Quantum instructions: Wavetable Oscillator > Timbre > Tools > Import from .wav > Set drive in upper left corner to Samples, USB Drive or SD Card > Select a file (eg the first one) > Set period to appropriate length 256, 1024 or 2048 etc. > Load. Then you can use the on-screen [prev] and [next] to move through the wavetable files.
Note: Firmware 2.0 works perfect, however on Firmware 1.3.0, your Import from .wav may not read the SD card, until you read it somewhere else. One solution is Wavetable Oscillator > Timbre > Presets > Export > Cancel > Close, and that will read the SD card so you can then follow the instructions above.

While not wavetables software, this currently supports Quantum/Iridium and Sequential Prophet X sample exports among other synths. This is definitely the premium sample export software to have.
Thanks!
