Also - Sorry for the mistake with the shortcut right at the start! I meant to place in the other knob for dimming the lights! Hopefully people can still see what they need to use.
one of the rare occurrences of true excellence in presentation...............................clear, concise, detailed, pleasant & friendly......brilliant
Invaluable - (we actually, there is a value that could be put on it - although I don't think it would be likely: Synthstrom could pay you for doing educational 'video manual' type presentations for their product......)
@@willswitchcraft haha, as nice as that would be, I don't think that's what's going to happen here. But hey, if they ever make a Deluge 2, I'd probably do it in exchange for one ;P
No problem! I really hope it's not a bug, because I really don't want them to patch it out! Haha, hopefully it sticks around during the next firmware update.
I keep coming back to these videos because they're so helpful. Sitting on a train with my Deluge and didn't bring the manual with me this time. Thanks again!
No worries! It makes me so happy to hear how people keep coming back to this series. I'm ashamed to admit I've even had to refer to it myself once or twice haha. Thanks for watching!
This is SO unbelievably helpful!! Thank you for making this series. My Deluge is arriving next week. I will embark on a new journey to add some depth to my mostly non-synth recording studio….
Merci pour ces tutos très bien construits, progressifs et agréables à suivre dans la présentation. Une aide précieuse pour qui veut tirer du Déluge une grosse partie de son potentiel créatif et ludique.
Thanks so much! Really glad there was something new in there for you to pick up. I'm thinking of dropping the third video sometime later today or early tomorrow, so stay tuned :)
Thanks for very good tutorials! I am a new Deluge owner and your tutorials are some of the best once I have seen so far! Considering signing up to your Patreon too. Keep up the good work!
Thanks so much for the positive feedback! Loads of videos are on their way to add to this series :) And thankyou if you do sign up to the Patreon. Any support is greatly appreciated!
Thanks so much! Unfortunately, the next video is sliiiiighly out of focus, but it's still easy enough to see what's going on. Glad you're enjoying it all so far :)
For note length extension into subsequent measures (10:34), you don't have to press the notes you want to extend before switching to the new measure. Just go to the measure, hold the button and press the notes you want to extend.
Also your swing example doesn't show much since all but one of the notes are right on an 1/8th note beat. Leaving the 16th hats in probably would show the swing better. nitpicking comments aside, this is great, can't wait to watch more!
@@idrumgood Yeah, my bad on the swing example. I should have showed it another way. Fortunately I go over swing again in the Effects video. Thanks for tuning in all the same! Glad you are enjoying the series so far :)
Next video on workload should include everything: working with other gear, audio tracks, midi, cv, song view, arranger view, using audio clips, setting up templates, looper mode, sections, recording external audio, resampling and sampling midi, arranging patterns, live performance workflow tools
Haha, that's a tall order! Don't worry, the next 4 videos are ready to go and i'm hoping to have a 5th completed today. A lot of the topics you mentioned will have their own dedicated video, and some others will be explored once the "manual" side of things is over and we get into the "workflow" videos. :)
Just discovered your channel - subscribed, and really enjoying your work. Great to hear some vocals on the Delly in some of your videos! A quick question - if you reduce the length of a clip to 3/4 (12 steps) in the middle of a 4/4 arrangement, will it playback correctly? I have a Roland verselab which converts everything back to 4/4, forcing my 3/4 bar to repeat beat one, which ruins the song and drives me nuts. The Deluge is much more capable, but I want to make sure it can do this before I consider buying one (for the second time - I had one a few years ago, and really didn't commit properly to learning it).
Thanks for the kind words! So you can set the sequence length to whatever you want (12 steps for example) and it will play back just those 12 steps and then loop. If you do this before hitting play, no issues. However, if you do this WHILE playing, you have to choose the right moment to do it. So while the sequence is starting to play, if you reduce the sequence length you won't hear any changes until it gets to the end, and will loop back seamlessly. If you do this AS the playhead hits where you're reducing the sequence, you'll hear a quick hiccup. Same as for extending it. Fortunately, you can quickly change the length and fix it, but I thought it worth pointing out. Hope that helps answer your question :)
@@RSKT_music ah, that’s great, thanks. I don’t want to change it while it’s playing, I want to insert an odd length measure in the middle of an arrangement before hitting play, so that’s perfect.
Question for everyone here. How do y'all handle basic song structure (intro, chorus, verse, bridge etc.) on the Deluge? I find it super awkward and hard to keep track of which "page" belongs to which section if I'm using the same instrument.
Hey there! So this is something I'll be covering in great detail in the Deluge Workflow Guide, which is still slowly being produced. There's lots of different ways you can go about it, each with their pros and cons. Something you could experiment in the meantime is setting up your sections in the arranger view, and leaving a space or two between them so they're easily identifiable (intro, verse, chorus, bridge, outro). Then use the arranger to queue up those parts of the song, then jump back into song view and bring in whatever other instruments you need. I hope that makes sense, it's kind of hard to explain in text.
@@wiegraf9009 no worries! I've still got quite a lot to film and just started editing what I've filmed already. Flat out at the moment but hopefully it won't take too much longer to finish.
When I push shift+ in the way you showed, it didn't duplicate the first bar's track. When I did it again, it did duplicate something, but it was the first bar, 1 bar of silence, 1 bar of the first track again, and 1 bar of silence. Do you know how things went wrong here?
Hmm, not too sure I'm afraid. It should basically duplicate whatever you have displayed on the sequencer. If you're too zoomed in, it won't copy what is outside of view.
I know you can record effect automation. However, has anyone ever found a way to smoothly automate an effect (e.g. LPF) over a period of steps? Like smoothly fade in a low pass during the fist four steps?
Not really. I think the workflow would be to use a parameter lock on the step after the first four, and record your smooth fade live using the knob. It should immediately jump to the stepped automation when you reach the end. Not ideal, but it's a way of doing it I suppose.
Hi there - you can definitely do this, and there's a couple of ways to go about it. First of all, turning the "custom 1" effects knob controlls the pitch. That said, it's a bit hard to dial in the exact pitch you want per step. Another thing you could try (for better control) is to copy the sample to another kit row, dial in the pitch using the transpose control, and then you've got a lot more say over what pitch each sample is :)
