Waldorf Iridium / Quantum – “Around the World” (50 Presets)

Description

Drawing from the vibrant musical traditions of distant cultures, “Around the World” is a captivating collection of 50 exclusive presets that infuse the mighty Waldorf’s synthesizer with rich ethnic flavors, exotic presets, and world-inspired atmospheres. In our fast-paced Western world — polished, precise, and often predictable — life can sometimes feel like a dish without enough seasoning. We crave something deeper, more soulful, more alive: the exotic spices of the East to awaken the senses, stir the spirit, and add layers of flavor that make every moment richer and more meaningful.

In this soundset, each preset is carefully crafted to ensure complete playability and expressiveness. You’ll find here deeply evolving pads layered with field recordings, tasty ethnic instruments with a high degree of sensitivity to key pressure and modulation, mystical flutes and frozen strings, soft and warm organic pianos, rhythmic percussive sequences, vibrating bells, and hybrid soundscapes that blend ancient traditions with futuristic synthesis.

Most presets respond expressively to velocity, modulation wheel, aftertouch, and expression — turning your performance into a true global storytelling experience. Perfect for film scoring, world music production, downtempo, ambient, chillout, ethnic electronica, meditative soundscapes, and any genre that craves authentic cultural color and emotional depth. Created with passion for both heritage sounds and cutting-edge Waldorf technology, “Around the World” doesn’t just sample the globe — it reimagines it through the prism of tomorrow’s sound design!
