• LFOs and envelopes on each synth / sample. Highly customizable modulation matrix
• Synthesizer engine features LPF / HPF, FM, portamento, oscillator sync, ring modulation, unison detune, and more
• Four basic waveforms, or select any WAV file from SD card
• FX including delay, reverb, chorus, flanger, phaser, bitcrusher, sidechain effect, live stutter, and more
• Keyboard mode, where the pads become a live instrument on a 2D grid
• Preset or custom scales, or chromatic mode

• Sequencing limited only by device RAM (many thousands of notes)
• Simultaneously output separate sequences to all 16 MIDI channels, 2 CV / gate channels and 2 additional gate outputs, in addition to internal synthesizers / samples (limited only by CPU, as above)
• CC control and sequencing on all 16 MIDI channels
• Probability and iteration based step / note conditions
• Undo / redo note and parameter automation editing and recording. Number of undo steps limited only by RAM
• Advanced syncing capabilities. Non-standard time signatures supported, Polymetric
• Adjustable swing
• Horizontal note shift
• MIDI program change and bank select

SAMPLER

• Streams all samples directly from SD card (up to 32GB SDHC), without limitations based on RAM size
• Time-stretching
• Same filters, modulation matrix and FX as synth engine
• Resampling
• Slicer feature for cutting a sample into evenly sized slices

CONNECTIVITY

• Two ¼” line outputs, and 3.5mm headphone output

OVERVIEW

BASIC WORKFLOW TUTORIAL

Below are a few videos including an extensive walkthrough 90minute long video introducing you in-depth to using the Deluge online right now!

We didn’t do a good job of recording the audio with these, you can hear a cleaner output of the synth engine to your right with the SoundCloud embed.

We put together this video primarily with first-time users in mind, and the synth/pattern programming is very rudimentary, but as far as an introduction to the Deluge, you can’t beat it. Make sure you watch all three.

Part 1 introduces you to “Track View”, “Song View” and the Deluges scrolling and zooming, shows how you construct songs and introduces you to some of the sample playback features..

Part 2 goes deep into the Sound Editor and patching matrix and explores the sampling capability of the Deluge.

Part 3 brings a few other instruments into play and showcases the Deluges ability to play with others.
