Hey - Thanks so much for pointing that out. I hadn't really played around with those settings for the sidebar controls, so that's good to know! I'm going to make that the default from now on. Cheers!

Absolutely!

No worries mate! Cheers for the kind words and thanks for watching!

Hey buddy! Glad to see you stopped by for this one. I was definitely pressed for time though. Synthstrom gave me a week to have this one out, and after getting pneumonia and losing my voice, I wound up only getting two days to smash this out. Hopefully I can dive in deeper in the manual version.

@@GlitcherTwitch no worries! Definately check out my video that dives deep into Amadeus, there's a lot more info on it in there. I haven't filmed the Beethoven one just yet though.

Only one evening lol. This has gotten me covered for the next week at least 😉

Thanks for stopping by Ron! This update might just be their biggest yet! Impossible to cover absolutely everything without my camera's battery dying several times throughout haha. Glad we were able to cover as much as we have so far :)

Thank you for using these sound :)

Glad you liked it! Thanks for watching!

No worries! Thanks so much for watching. The new arp feature is absolutely amazing!

Hey, great to see you here man. Thanks so much for watching. Hopefully I'll be able to cover more in the future!

@@RSKT_musicthe arpeggio stuff in behtoven looks super cool. Very cool way to get some more generative feeling stuff cooking!

@@oaklandghosts0510 Sure is! From what I've seen it's very similar to the arp in the hydrasynth, which is bloody awesome!

@@LogicalProgression41 thanks so much! Hope you enjoy it :)

I feel you. Feature creep has always been a bit of a thing with the Deluge. Fortunately I see it falling under the 80/20 rule. It's great that it has all of these features, but you'll probably only wind up using about 20% of them per project. Find a workflow that suits you and forget the rest until you need it ;P

Haha thanks. Hopefully I can get around to it sometime. Thankyou for watching ❤️

@@RSKT_music An "advice" if I may: when you get to record the community firmware episode(s) for your video manual, it may make sense to split them by following the releases? That way each video can stay fresh and up to date with upstream, and also stay relevant with each chapter:release 1:1 relation. Just a thought. I hope this is not overkill. Thanks a bunch for all you do.

@@andreacfromtheapp I think that's pretty much how I'll go about it. Time is my biggest enemy at the moment, but the reaction to this video has been super positive, so maybe I need to focus more of my energy on the Deluge again.

No worries! Yeah, the new arp is my absolute favourite feature, next to probability per synth row. It's a really great way of generating new melodies and sequences.

Thanks so much! Hope it helps people get excited about the new updates :)

Thanks for watching!

No worries! Definately take another look at those release notes though. There's so much I couldn't cover. Hopefully this vid is a good jumping off point!

@@RSKT_music Will do!

@@jaguarvssnake Never left! Haha, but I get what you mean. Glad you enjoyed the video :)

Haha thanks for watching!

Thanks for watching! Definitely check out the full changelog. There is just so much stuff in there that I wasn't able to fit into this video.

yeah, been watching github & discord for months and following up on the go, but your video is a great entrypoint for peaple who are new to the community fw

No problem, thanks for watching!

@@Zoevandyne thanks for watching!

It sure is. Just tried out the new DX7 features last night. Absolutely mind blowing!

Definitely! These new updates have made the Deluge into a whole new beast!

@@RSKT_music For sure! Been a lot of fun testing them out!

Thanks so much! I definitely plan on covering more. Time is my biggest enemy at the moment.

You're welcome! Thanks for tuning in.

You're very welcome!

Automation view has changed the game!

No problem! Thank you for watching :)

Great to see you here Will! Sorry to hear about your Deluge. I do know that Synsthrom are currently moving, so maybe that has something to do with the repair time. While there have been improvements to the delay, I don't think this new update contains what you're after. Hopefully it gets updated further in the future.

I know, I know 😮‍💨I was planning on covering so much more, but unfortunately the deadline for this video got pushed up and I wound up sick with pneumonia, which only left me 2 days to film and edit all of this together. Hopefully it's enough to get people excited to dive in deeper.

No problem! :)

Haha you're absolutely right. Man, there are so many new little features that I just didn't have time to cover for this. Thanks for leaving this here in the comments :)

No worries!

No worries! It sure does!

Yes! They've made the keyboard view so much more useful now!

Haha, still working on it sorry. Hoping to knock out the aermadeus video sometime soon, works just been crazy busy lately.

Aye @@RSKT_music totally understandable. I do like following along with your tuts. The old Vid manual was outstanding.... So yeah, I'm a fan 😆

@@AeonHorus thanks so much man! I really appreciate it :)

Thanks so much! 😊

@@RSKT_music No. Thank you so much. 🙂

Definitely. I've finally been playing with the new DX7 implementation on the nightly build. Wow. Didn't realise something like this would be coming to the Deluge eventually.

Cheers mate!

Hey there! So I don't think anything else has been done in terms of CV tracks if that's what you're referring to. That said, there's been great strides made in the MIDI department. I haven't covered them in my videos yet, but I know Ron Cavagnaro's videos go into them a bit. I'd also recommend checking out the Deluge Discord server, as there's a lot of talk about upcoming features on there. Hope that helps!

So you can actually automate the stutter rate in automation view now, which is great. Unfortunately, you can't automate the stutter triggering. They've been working on it for a while, but the way it's implemented makes it difficult to pull off. At least you can automate the stutter rate, so when you trigger it yourself, you don't need to twist or turn anything.

@@chadb1176 good question! I'm not really sure. Honestly, I think this is the way going ahead. That way, everyone gets to chip in and make it better, just including Synthstrom Audible.

Don't panic! This is normal, as the features you've mentioned need to be turned on in the settings. For Delay, press shift+select. Go to Community Firmware, and select "Alternative God Knob Delay Parameters." For the fills, go to the same community firmware menu and select "Sync Scaling Action," and change it to "Fill Mode." That should get everything working for you.

Ooops! Yes of course - thanks so much for a really helpful video - hadn’t touched my deluge for ages and really enjoying the new features. Almost sold it and so glad I didn’t!

so if morph is at 0 for both the "LPF" and "HPF" then they act like normal LPF or HPF, but as you turn up the morph, each morphs into the other type as morph goes from 0 to 50. This is why they're called "state variable" or abbreviated SV_B first do init synth 1) set filter type to SV_B for bandpass or SV_N for notch (or whatever it says on OLED) 3) Set the cutoff of the low pass filter to 25 first so we can hear the differences in the filter types 2) the pad directly below the dB/OCT pad on the front panel is the morph control. This will morph the filter type from 0 to 50. 3) For the "low pass filter": morph 0 is low pass, morph 25 will be bandpass (or notch), and morph 50 is high pass. This is why we adjusted the cutoff frequency of the filter to 25 first because a cutoff at 50 will be like if you had a band pass at 6000 Hz or something way high up there. Set the morph to a value, then wiggle the cutoff back and forth to hear how it sounds. 4) For the "high pass filter" it's the opposite morph: morph 0 is high pass, morph 25 band/notch, morph 50 is low pass. If LPF isn't one of the state variable models, then the morph control acts like a filter drive. If HPF isn't one of the state variable models, then the morph control acts like a filter cutoff FM amount and it sounds really wild with a ton of resonance and a wavetable synth wtf

@@postsolarpunk Thank you so much! I‘m gonna try this 🥳

Yep, that's the one. Weirdly, I don't hear anything dropping out on the track, but that light is supposed to tell you that things are being dropped due to the CPU usage. Some of the synths in this are wavetables with a sample loaded into the second oscillator though. If I'm being honest, I haven't noticed any CPU difference with the community firmware. The only time I ever noticed this issue was back when they first released wavetables and euclidean sequencing. For some reason, some of my older tracks struggled to play after that update. Barely noticeable though. I wouldn't stress too much about it.

Ok ! Thanks for answering and for your great Videos

@@juergensutter521 no worries!

Not at this stage, although you CAN transpose your songs and even individual tracks up and down by semitones from song view now

​@@RSKT_music yes i know, but doing it in a specific note from the keyboard would be so sweet. I love all those advanced features the wonderfull community is adding, but at my newbie lvl of music production, transposing this way is the one last thing i dream about for my beloved Deluge !

@@quentin2368 you could always chat to the devs on discord. They might be able to add it in.

If you like the Deluge in its current form and save up to buy the Deluge in its current form, then any future hardware releases don't matter, right? I mean, it's really amazing in its current form, you can't go wrong.

@@JuanUys amazing response, just what I needed to hear. Thanks, Juan

Fair question! I know Synthstrom have made statements in the past, expressing no interest in making a Deluge 2.0. That said, those statements were a long time ago. Maybe the Deluge going open source frees them up to work on something new, but if that's the case I doubt we'll see it for a very long time. I'd say you're safe to jump in now :)

@@RSKT_music (ian from Synthstrom here). Still no current plans for a new model - we're still very much in the process of switching users OLED screens.

@@alowhum thanks for clearing that up Ian! ❤️

True. At least for now you can automate the stutter rate. Just can't automate the triggering of the stutter. Hopefully it gets added someday.

I would go right ahead and install the community version. If you watch my series on how to use the Deluge, all of it is still there and relevant. The community firmware just adds on extra stuff around it! :)

Congrats! I hope it makes it to you quicker than expected! The Deluge is my next G.A.S. obsession... I will be getting one in a few weeks! I'm just worried they release new hardware or the price drops significantly a month after I get it.

YABADABADOOOH!! It arrived yesterday(Saturday) and its immaculate, not a mark on it. I installed open source Beethoven on it before I tried it out. I am so pumped by it!

@@RSKT_music That's just what I have done, Now to go through all your video's

@@iamrocketray amazing

I haven't noticed any issues with it. In fact, the play button now blinks when you're starting to push the CPU too much. Tbh, the only time I noticed the CPU dip was back when they introduced wavetables into an update.

@@RSKT_music Thanks for the info. Looking forward to a deep dive into the open source workflow, if you end up making one.

The Play+ looks like a lot of fun and seems very immediate. I have to admit though, I'm pretty biased and I think the Deluge is absolutely leagues ahead of the Play+. I would highly recommend getting a Deluge. It's just a far more capable machine.

@@RSKT_music I had one for a very short period of time, but it was the one with the old screen and I just couldn’t work with it. Im a spoiled modern mang. It seems like its a has grown massively since then and is now like Deluge 1.5

@@RSKT_music I did love the FX though, from my limited time with it. It felt uncapped. Without limit. Like zero guiderails 😂

@@HelicopterRidesForCommunists well, the effects are even better now! I'd say give it another go (maybe with the OLED screen. I think a lot of people get put off by the amount of features, but you really won't even use half of them. Once you get the hang of it, everything becomes second nature. It gives you so much power at your fingertips!
