memory and load it from there into the Particle gene-

•
From audio recordings done with Quantum. The
Global
page features an audio recorder. All recorded fi-
les are stored in the internal Flash memory and can be
loaded into the Particle generator.

From the audio input of Quantum by using the Live
Granular mode. Read more on this in the correspon-

The Iridium Keyboard can playback WAV or
AIFF/AIFC files (stereo or mono) with any sample
rate and bit rate. We recommend using samples with
a rate of 44.1 kHz to keep the original pitch.

An explanation of granular synthesis can be found in
the ‘Sound Synthesis Basics’ chapter.

Particle Generator Panel Parameters
Semitones
Sets the pitch of the particle generator in semitone steps.
The standard setting for this parameter is
0
, but there are
cases where different values are interesting as well.
Fine Pitch
Fine-tunes the particle generator in steps of 1/128th of a
semitone. The audible result of detuned oscillators is a
Chorus effect. Use a positive setting for o ne oscillator and
an equivalent negative setting for another
Count/Grain Poly (only in Granular Mode)
The Particle generator can generate up to eight grain
streams for simultaneous playback. This is determined by
the
Count/Grain Poly
knob. Up to eight kernels (equiva-
lent to grain oscillators) are possible. Values in between
two integer values mean that an additional grain oscillator
is mixed in at a reduced level.
