Editing Parameters
In order to change or edit a sound program, you must
access the appropriate parameters. Depending on the type
of parameters, there are different ways to achieve this:
•
The controls on the Iridium’s front panel offer direct
access to the most important sound parameters. The
panel is divided into several sections, each containing
knobs and dials associated with that section. By adjus-
ting the controls on the panel you have instant access
to the sound. These parameters are called
Panel Pa-
rameters
. When editing a Panel parameter, this is dis-
played in the lower part of the touchscreen display
(parameter name and corresponding value).
r
All Panel parameter dials and pots are capable of
sending MIDI Controller data via USB and MIDI Out.

•
Most sections offer additional sound parameters that
are available through the touchscreen display. To edit
an additional parameter, press the corresponding mo-
de button above or below the touchscreen (e.g.
LFOs
)
and use the six display knobs to the left and the right of
the touchscreen display. The touchscreen display page
includes additional parameters that are not accessible
directly via the control elements on the panel. These
parameters are called
Display Menu Parameters
. For
each parameter the original value from a loaded patch
is indicated by a vertical bar in the main bottom area
and in the encoder displays.
•
Some functions can be edited via the touchscreen dis-
play directly. Use your finger to tap on the correspon-
ding parameter/option/button on the touchscreen to
open pop-up menus or sliders which can be moved to
change values or to edit graphics (e.g. envelopes).
•
On most display pages the
Selection
dial can be used
to control the most important parameter – for example
Cutoff 1
on the Dual Filter page.
•
If a parameter from the bottom row is edited and in
focus (with popup control and marked with colored
frame), this parameter can be then also changed with
Selection
dial while in focus.
r
Some parameters can be found on the panel and also
as touchscreen display parameters – for example the
Envelope phases.
Some rotary controls consist of endless dials or potentio-
meters. Turning a dial clockwise increases the correspon-
ding value; turning it counterclockwise decreases it. Bipo-
lar parameters (parameters with positive and negative
values) use special gradation when changing their values.
