Welcome to, what is for now, the FINAL installment in The (unofficial) Deluge Video Manual, the series where I show you all I know about using the Synthstrom Deluge.
This one is structured a little differently to the others, and focuses on midi mapping external devices to the Deluge. Feel free to skip around to the part that suits your workflow the most.
Hopefully I'll get some modular gear one day and demonstrate the CV settings of the Deluge too, but for now, this is it folks. Thank you to everyone for tuning into this series, and stay tuned for my Deluge Workflow Guide series that will be coming out in the near future!

Thanks for the whole series. Took me a while to go through, as there was so many info, and I wanted to really understand, and try it all for myself. I've got my Deluge for almost a year, and use it regularly, but this series bonded me with the device for good. It helped me to develop kind of intuition, where to look for some stuff even if I don't know it. Big thanks.

@@willswitchcraft Thanks man! Yeah it was a massive undertaking that's for sure. Some of them took ages to edit, but honestly my pipeline wasn't ideal and I'll definitely be switching it up when I start filming the workflow guide. This video in particular took forever, especially to do the chapters lol. All I can say is it's nice to not be stressing about this series anymore. I think the workflow guide will be a lot more fun, but I'm still ironing out the kinks for pre-production at this stage. Kiiind of tempted to wait until I've got my OLED fitted, but not sure at this stage. Will wait and see. Either way, thanks for the kind words mate, I really appreciate it :)

Haha, yeah that would have been nice. Hopefully I'll just get some kickback from Ad revenue when I monotize this channel. I managed to get my art channel monetized in less than a year, so part of the reason I kicked this series off was so I could do the same with this channel. Sooooo close to being able to do that, but we'll wait and see. Super excited about the OLED though. Looks very sexy haha

@pn_oio2891 Год назад

Great Video. These Display Visualisations on the Zoia (Envelope, Lfo) are so helpful, having similar ones on the new Deluge OLED would bei great..

@RSKT_music Год назад

I think it would be, especially for the LFOs and Envelopes. I'm not sure how it works on the new OLED, but being able to see an LFOs influence while on the Filter (the little dot going left and right on the line) would be awesome on the Deluge.

Thanks so ,much for this whole series; so clear an informative.

Thanks so much for the kind words! The workflow series is not progressing as fast as I would have hoped. I filmed the first four videos but have a lot more to film and then need to edit them. Basically I've been swamped with work and have been comissioned to do an art piece for a big client (which I'm near on finishing now after 3-4 months of work). Hoping to get back into the swing of things towards the end of this month. I'm very sorry for the delay though. Hopefully I'll have something ready to go soon. Maybe I'll edit the first four videos and upload them before I start filming again. We'll see. Thanks for watching and for your patience either way :)

@miguelmamedecintra 7 месяцев назад

Thank you so much for your Deluge tutorial videos, they've been very helpful to me! But maybe you can help me with this: I've been trying to use my Akai APC40 to control both the Deluge and the synths I have connected to the Deluge. Everything goes fine with controlling the Deluge parameters, but I can't map the external synths parameters using the Deluge's midi thru. Also, the APC40 seems to have some sort of pre-mapping for the other synths too, and apparently, I can't put it in a "blank" state. I tried everything and it doesn't work. Any suggestions?

@RSKT_music 7 месяцев назад

Thanks dude! To respond to your question, I'm afraid I'm not much help. I'm not too sure about that setup, but maybe the APC40 has specific midi channels setup for different things? I think you might get better help from the Deluge discord server, or r/synthesizers on reddit. Sorry I'm not much more help :/

@ndguardian Год назад

Howdy! Got a question for you related to MIDI learn. Say I've got MIDI note data learned on all 16 channels for MIDI input, and I've got another clip I want to control with a MIDI controller. Do you know if there is an "un-learn" (or maybe "forget") that can be used to let me control the next clip without triggering another one?

@RSKT_music Год назад

Sure thing! Just press and hold learn/input + one of the audition pads. :)

@Epicfuzz 11 месяцев назад

Can you just use the Deluge to sequence VST instruments from your DAW?

@RSKT_music 11 месяцев назад

Yes, you can use the Deluge as a midi controller for your DAW.

@seanbeeson 3 месяца назад

This might seem like a really silly question. What if I had 4-5 pieces of outboard MIDI equipment? Can I use an external MIDI controller, to record into the Deluge that is simultaneously outputting to those 4-5+ MIDI devices, with the audio being summed back through a device with audio back into the deluge?

@RSKT_music 3 месяца назад

Pretty good idea! Sadly, I don't know for sure. Might be better off asking the discord or subreddit for that one

Hey RSKT. Question . . . is there a way to cancel velocity information. My midi keyboard is very chaotic with velocity and i´d rather just it sent an avergae value everytime. Thanks so much if you help or not. Your videos are incredible.

Год назад

Settings>Midi>Devi>DIN/USB>VELO That sets the velocity sensitivity.

Год назад

answer above

Год назад

sorry for the spamming. I solved the problem and will leave the answer here as i have encountered a few people looking for a similar answer.

@RSKT_music Год назад

I saw your reply and was actually going to suggest something else, but I think your answer is way more on the money. I was going to suggest changing the value of the Master Level being modulated by the Velocity parameter, but I don't have my contoller around to test it out so far. Either way, glad you were able to get this sorted and thanks for sharing your solution. I might add it to the workflow manual when I get around to making it.

@XtianApi Год назад

Awesome. Thank you. I am sure I can figure out it, and I think I knew it for a little bit, but how do you know that you aren't telling lfo to modulate velocity, but rather you are modulating lfo rate with velocity? Does that make sense? I feel like I'm just drawing a blank and getting overwhelmed with some of it. Anyway, great midi video. I use the full size midi cables, which is cool. No need for a power adapter.

@RSKT_music Год назад

Good Question! Basically when you modulate a parameter with a second parameter, the blinking lights on the grid let you know what is being modulated by the other. For example, let's say we modulate Frequency with LFO1. Frequency will blink slowly, letting us know what is being modulated, and LFO1 will blink quickly, letting us know what is doing the modulating. I hope that makes sense. With velocity, however, we are a bit limited. You can't actually select velocity to be modulated, as it's in the mod-source column. So in the example, we're only able to modulate the rate of LFO2 with the velocity mod source. Anyways, thanks for tuning in. I hope that helps :)

@XtianApi Год назад

@@RSKT_music ah okay, yes it does help. That's why I feel like I knew it, I guess because I saw the different rates of blink but never processed it. I'll mess with it tonight and see if I can trace existing patches on presets. Ps, so excited for the oled! Already have my pre-order for the retrofit. I loved how the deluge was not a computer, but an instrument, but that screen really limits me even though I like it

@RSKT_music Год назад

@@XtianApi I think the OLED will make those mod sources a lot easier to figure out. I'm super excited for it too, and placed my pre-order. Just gotta play the waiting game now.

@AlexisG73 Год назад

Anybody know how to record the Deluge without it flashing on cameras. Tried playing with the frame rates on the camera but it still flashes.

@RSKT_music Год назад

There's a setting you can use that changes the refresh rates of your pads. I can't remember the combo (might be shift+learn+bottom scroll knob?), but it can help. I've found setting the frame/shutter speed to 25 does the job. Sometimes it can flicker from a light in your room though, like a fluro, so do some tests :)

@AlexisG73 Год назад

@@RSKT_music I finally found it in the manual. Its CLIP + SELECT knob to adjust the frame rate. Thanks for the reply!

I know this is old but if you see this i could use a little help rskt. I followed your tutorial on using zoia with deluge but cannot hear audio when trying to use a sequencer. I see zoia getting midi i have stereo monitoring on but i am not hearing anything. I am running into interface then ableton. Tried using a midi track with ext instrument to no avail and not sure what else to do. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks man

@RSKT_music Год назад

Hey - That's really weird behavior. I guess the first thing to try would be to see if your picking up any sound from the Zoia from any other patch. If you are, then you can be assured it's the patch you're working on. If you can see it receiving midi notes, then you can rule the connectivity between the zoia and the deluge out. Next thing to try would be to check all of your connections on the Zoia's grid. If other patches are working, then chances are something is quite hooked up right in the patch you're using. Finally, check the audio monitoring in Ableton. Set the monitoring to IN and check to see if anything's happening. The only other thing I can think of doing to try and help you is if you wouldn't mind somehow sharing how your Zoia patch is set up. Is the midi triggering the pitch of the oscillator? Are you using a filter, envelope and VCA? Sorry if none of this helps, but let me know how you go :)

@joeymc5272 Год назад

@@RSKT_music hey RSKT thanks so much for getting back to me. Its so weird because my monitoring for guitar works and other synths i just cant seem to get it to work with the zoia. Ill be honest i am completely green on the zoia and have only been able to make one synth patch following cukoos video. But i went through and set his up again and still could not get it to produce a signal. Would you mind telling me what your setup is in ableton by chance? Do you have a midi channel set up with midi from deluge? Say were using midi channel 1. Set channel to 1 in ableton midi track. Then on zoia set to midi channel 1 and thats that? Do i need an external instrument set up on thay midi track i presume? Sorry for all the questions here but your tutorials have been unmatched and you know these devices inside and out. Thank you for your time

@RSKT_music Год назад

My setup is fairly simple. When using the Zoia as a synth - Midi out of the Deluge and into the Zoia. Zoia audio output into the Deluge line input. Deluge audio output into my interface and monitored through an audio track in Ableton. When using the Zoia for effects - Deluge audio out into the Zoia audio in. Zoia audio out into my interface and monitored through an audio track in Ableton. I never really use the external instrument device, but I know that it is useful when trying to use the Zoia as an effects send in Ableton. I'm sorry if this doesn't help in any way. I highly recommend joining the Zoia facebook page (or better yet, the Zoia Discord server) and asking there. Those guys are wizards with the Zoia and should be able to help you get up and running in no time. Best of luck :)

@joeymc5272 Год назад

@@RSKT_music hey man just wanted to say i got it working finally. Not sure what happened but re-routed everything again the same way and it worked. Realized none of the patches i had were set up with a midi note module like you had talked about so made a simple single osc synth and its all working now. Also another sweet thing i realized is if you put fx pedals after the zoia going into the line in, you can go to town turning knobs on those fx pedals in real time for some extra fun. Zoia is going to be some work lol. Complicated at least for me.
