The USB Connections
Iridium offers two USB ports.
The
Controller USB
input
lets you connect any suitable
class-compliant USB hard-
ware controller to send MIDI
data to control functions of
Iridium. You can also use the
MIDI Learn function for most
of Iridium’s parameters that can be controlled by an exter-
nal MIDI hardware controller.

Make sure that you use a USB 2 port on your compu-
ter and a USB 2 compatible cable to avoid problems
with data transmission.

Support for USB Storage Devices
All USB storage devices from a simple USB stick to a tera-
byte UDB SSD disk are supported provided that they adhe-
ring to the USB Mass Storage Device Standard.
r
It is important to use a FAT or FAT32 file system
formatted USB device. Other file formats won´t
work.
The USB drives can be used in all scenarios where you
currently use MicroSD cards like importing/exporting
samples, presets, patches, wavetables etc. as well as for
updating the system software. The only use case where
you still would need a MicroSD card is doing a full system
init as well as a rescue boot from MicroSD card.
