Prophet X overlap with Waldorf Iridium ?

[ArjandeRooy]

Hi,

I'm seriously considering getting a PX while they are still in stock. However, I own a Waldorf Iridium KB, and I wonder if the two machines would overlap too much on the sampling part.

Opinions, advice, and experiences are welcome! Thanks in advance.

I always felt the Prophet X’s focus was samples and using them as oscillators in a subtractive synthesis structure. The Waldorf Iridium and Quantum feels like sampling it’s just another engine but not really the one people or Waldorf tend to focus on. While the Prophet X has a variety of samples and tones out of the gate (from bread and butter to experimental) Waldorf had loads of bread and butter PCM samples in their Blofeld and they didn’t even bother putting them into the Quantum/Iridium. So most of the demos and focus have been wavetables and virtual analog with some FM or granular sounds only here and there.

I guess I’ve always found synths that have 4 or 5 engines have a hard time finding their own voice or being distinguishable. You almost always feel like you are focusing on one or two or skipping one of the engines.

The Iridium KB and PX have some overlap in sampling, but the PX’s analog filters and lush, cinematic character set it apart. If you want a more immediate and warm sound to complement the Iridium’s depth, the PX could be a great addition.

The Prophet X (PX) and Waldorf Iridium KB are both powerful instruments, but they approach sampling and synthesis differently, which may help reduce overlap depending on your use case.

Thanks for sharing

It's interesting to see the discussion around the Prophet X and Iridium overlap. The distinction made about the PX focusing on samples as oscillators while the Iridium treats it as another engine is a key point.
