Iridium Manual

USB Controller
port.

Direct loading of samples from USB drive.
MicroSD Card Slot
r
It is important to use a FAT or FAT32 file system
formatted MicroSD card. Other file formats won´t
work.
r
Please insert the MicroSD Card
upside down
, i.e.
with the contacts showing to the upper side. This is
due to the mechanical construction of Iridium. Plea-
se insert the card with normal force to avoid any
damage.
A connected MicroSD card allows:
•
Updating
the
Iridium’s opera-
ting system. Read more in ‘The Global Page’ chapter.
•
Importing and saving audio files.
•
Importing and saving Iridium-specific data – e.g. sound
patches, oscillator presets, wavetables, MIDI Maps, etc.
MIDI In/Thru/Out Jacks
Although we can hardly
believe it, the Iridium
might not be enough
for some people, so we
added an elegant way
to
control
external
sound modules with
Iridium: just connect the DIN MIDI out
(or USB Controller
port)
to your external gear and use the Iridium knobs to
control certian functions. For use with a computer we
recommend the
Computer USB
port.
r
Read more about the configuration of the MIDI ports
in ‘The Global Menu’
chapter.
Physical Security
Users operating Iridium in areas with public or
shared access such as live gigs, public studios or
educational establishments can attach a
Kensington
®
compatible security lock to the slot
on the rear panel of Iridium.
