There's a lot of debate about the abilities of the Elektron Octatrack being unparalleled with other samplers. When people talk about the Deluge, they often think of it as a bit of a "straightforward" sequencer or stem playback device, and that they need an OT to really mangle samples. I disagree!
Having owned both a Synthstrom Deluge and an Octatrack for quite a long time, I've got a pretty good understanding of where there's some crossover - and this video demonstrates a fraction of the mangling capabilities the Deluge has (on top of all the other amazing things it does). They are both different machines with different workflows, and both have pros and cons that will be up to the user which one is "best" (for them). Everyone has their own interpretation of HOW they like to mangle samples, too. So, that's my way of saying YOU DO YOU BABY, NO NEED TO BE A TRIBAL DOUCHEBAG ABOUT IT.
All sounds and processes are internal within the Deluge using the stock 808 kit, but the final output has a bit of stereo saturation from the Deluge running through my eurorack (which I forgot to bypass - sorry mum).
