Iridium Manual

Pitch Tab

Here you can make settings relating to the overall tuning of
the Iridium.

Pitch Button

•

Transpose

: Allows a global pitch transposition for the

tone generator. Played notes are shifted by the number
of semitones.

•

Master Tuning

: Determines the Iridium’s overall pitch

in Hertz. The value specified here is the reference pitch

for MIDI note A3. The default setting is 440 Hz, which
is commonly used by most instruments.

•

Scale

: Opens a pop-up menu for a wide-ranging selec-

tion of musical scales –

chromatic

major

minor

ly-

dian dominant

, for example.

You can also choose User 1

- 8 for selecting a user definable tuning. In this case, an
additional

Edit Tuning

button is available.

•

Scale Root

: Determines the tonic keynote for the selec-

ted scale. This parameter is not available for the User
scales.

Edit Tuning Button

If a User scale is selected with the Scale option, you can
create an equal tuning from scratch by giving number of

steps and repeating interval (like 1200 cents for an octave
or anything else).

The following options are available in the User Tuning
window:

•

New

adds a new tuning table with definable

Steps

and

Repeat Intervals

•

Insert

adds a new tuning step after the current one.

•

Delete

removes the current tuning step.
