Waldorf Iridium

Iridium doesn’t have a set midi map, you need to configure it yourself by copying a .mimap file to the sd card and then loading it by going to - global > midi > mappings > load

There are far more things that could be mapped in Iridium than the 119 maximum allowed but the following .mimap file narrows it down to the most useful:

Since Iridium is bi-timbral (because it has two layers which can be mapped to separate midi channels) you can actually create separate definitions for each layer however I am just including my layer 1 definition for the sake of simplicity

The matching instrument definition for this mimap is:

VERSION 1 # Currently, this should only be 1.

# Supports all alphanumeric ASCII, and ' ', '_', '-', '+' - can also be NULL
TRACKNAME Iridium L1

# Can be POLY, DRUM, MPE, or NULL
TYPE POLY

# Can be A, B, C, D, USBD, USBH, CVGx (x between 1&4), CVx, Gx, or NULL
OUTPORT B

# Can be x (between 1-16), or NULL -- this is ignored if output port is not MIDI
OUTCHAN 1

# Can be NONE, ALLACTIVE, A, B, USBH, USBD, CVG, or NULL
INPORT NULL

# Can be x (between 1-16), ALL, or NULL. This definition will be ignored if INPORT is NONE, ALLACTIVE or CVG
INCHAN NULL

# DRUMLANES
# Syntax: ROW:TRIG:CHAN:NOTENUMBER NAME
# ROW must be between 1 and 8
# TRIG can be between 0 and 127, or NULL
# CHAN can be a number between 1 and 16, Gx, CVx, CVGx (x between 1 and 4), or NULL
# NOTENUMBER can be between 0 and 127, or NULL
# NAME supports all alphanumeric ASCII, and ' ', '_', '-', '+' - can also be NULL
# Please note this section will be discarded for tracks which are not DRUM tracks

# PC
# Syntax: NUMBER NAME
# number must be either:
#   - A number (for simple PC)
#   - Three numbers, delimited by ':', which represent PC:MSB:LSB. You can put 'NULL' to not set the MSB/LSB.
# PC must be between 1...128
# MSB/LSB must be between 0...127

This looks great. Very helpful compared to mapping each one of these on the unit.

But quick question, sorry new to this site – and the Iridium – how do I download the file you made for it? And how would I set up the second layer?

Thanks so much!

@rdb another noob here that doesn’t see how to set the L2 in the definition file… Can you help us? :sun_with_face:

And thanks for sharing, of course!

So if you wanted to set this up for a second layer you could just copy the instrument definition and change the following values:

  • TRACKNAME - change to Iridium L2
  • OUTCHAN - change to 2 (or whatever midi channel your second Iridium layer was configured with)

Then copy it to Hapax in the usual way and you have two instrument defs, one for your first Iridium layer which sends on midi channel 1 and another for the second layer which sends on midi channel 2.

Hope that helps

I think you need to just create a new text file then copy and paste from the website into the file - they don’t seem to have file downloads on the forum. Or at least they didn’t when I put this up.

So do I have 2 separate files? 1 for midi channel 1 and one for midi channel 2? I wish this stuff wasn’t so complicated for idiots like me

I copy the .mimap file to the iridium and go to global>midi>mappings and there’s no file on the sd card. Any ideas? This is going to take hours to work isn’t it?

just load the definition into more than one track and away you go! unless the 2nd layer has different parameters, only then do you need to create a second definition. if im not mistaken, the layers are identical except for the midi channel.
