  • Easy buttons to select the functions these control.
• Parameter automation recording.
• Arpeggiator
• Dedicated volume and tempo knobs.
• LFOs and envelopes on each synth / sample. Highly customizable modulation matrix.
• Synthesizer engine features LPF / HPF, FM, arpeggiator, portamento, oscillator sync, ring modulation, unison detune, and more.
• Four basic waveforms, or select any WAV file from the SD card.
• FX including delay, reverb, chorus, flanger, phaser, bitcrushing, 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.

• Piano-roll-style sequencing on 128 full RGB pads (16×8) with scrolling and zooming.
• Sequencing limited only by device RAM (many thousands of notes).
• CC control and sequencing on all 16 MIDI channels
• Advanced syncing capabilities. Non-standard time signatures supported.
• Adjustable swing

SAMPLER

• Loads samples from SD card (up to 32GB SDHC).
• 64MB of sample ram – work with up to 12 minutes (if mono) of CD-quality samples per song.
• Time-stretching
• 5mm mic, ¼” line inputs and microphone.

CONNECTIVITY

• Two ¼” line outputs, and 3.5mm headphone output.
• 2x CV outputs. 0 – 10V, individually configurable to between 0.01 and 2.00 volts per octave, or to hertz-per-volt.
• 4x gate / trigger outputs individually configurable to v-trig or s-trig, with shared voltage switchable between 5V and 12V.
  • Trigger clock output configurable, up to 192 PPQN.
  • Trigger clock input, also with adjustable PPQN.
• MIDI input and output via hardware connectors or USB. Syncing via MIDI beat clock as master or slave.
• 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 and RAM, as above).
• Powered via USB or 9 – 12V centre-negative (pedal-style) power supply (500mA) (not included).

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.
