The Waldorf Iridium Keyboard 49-Key Synthesizer is a high-class synthesizer in a compact desktop form. It features an all-new 49-key FATAR TP/8SK semi-weighted polyphonic aftertouch pressure-providing keyboard as the first such implementation of that keyboard in the world.

With an expanded front panel proffering one-knob-per-function control as a workflow-raising result of this high-class synthesizer's palpable physical makeover, also allowing for six freely-programmable Macro buttons with which users can define functions from a wide range of features for additional performance control.
