Brilliant starter pack - thank you very much - just starting to scratch the surface.
As I'm wont to do, I start diving in and say: "But how can I make my own????"
I don't want to buy Serum so I found this: https://synthtech.com/waveedit (Free software!!!!)
I've done some basic tests and brought some of what it made into Deluge...it works!!!! Some of it sounds squirrelly but I think I haven't set everything up right yet. It seems very easy to use. (Before trying this I tried Audacity and Reason but those don't help make wavetables very easily at all..you need something specific to wavetable drawing and export).
This WaveEdit also has a page with tons of wavetables - a few of which I've tested and work on Deluge. This is awesome! So many "oscillators" to play with now! https://waveeditonline.com/

Here's what the simple but powerful UI looks like:

I saw these requests for FM patches / presets / sound designs and I have them! I've been developing some FM Deluge sound designs for the past few years and would like to share them with you now.

The files are at https://www.patreon.com/posts/52698589 - its a free post (no need to be a patron! feel free if the inspiration strikes you)

Also I made a video to demo these, so you know ahead of time what you're getting for the low, low price of FREE

I'd love to hear your comments, feedback, and suggestions for future sound design here, or on patreon, etc.

I've put out 2 videos about Deluge FM and free synth presets to match. (working on a 3rd video)
In one of the videos I talked about sharing an Excel file that converted some of the common ones.
Instead of that, I coded up an Online Calculator that will convert any ratio you enter into Semitones (what Deluge will need)
This will be handy if you find an FM recipe for a tone you want to recreate on the Deluge and it states Ratios. (like a DX7 or TX84z etc)
Head on over to https://www.fenixsong.com/fm-synth
for that, an image of various common ones, the videos, and more info.
Please let me know if you have any questions about this. Thanks!

Idea for Scale Mode for KIT: For each drum/sample/synth in the KIT
when in Scale Mode
give it a set of 2x2 or 3x3 or 4x4 grid of pads (configurable in the Global Settings) that
range from low to high velocity or a few other options (configurable in the Global Settings)
Velocity would go up diagonally in each grid from lower left (around 50 velocity) to top right (127 velocity)
Diagram of idea to be clear:

Use the up/down scroll knob to go to more pads if lots of drum/sample slots.
This would help with live performances and more expression to recording drums
Possibly have other settings controllable instead of velocity: filter cutoff? Sample Start Point?
Optional Setting: add a 1 pad blank/do-nothing border around each 2x2 or 3x3 or 4x4 area for "Fat finger protection"

Building on my series on FM we utilize FM with the FM Engine but also in the VA/Subtractive Engine because percussion always seems to need some Pitch Envelope on the Oscillators which is FM too.

This one was a doosey to make! Any support in the form of LIKES, YouTube Channel Subscription, or Patreon support is greatly loved, but not expected.

Using the sound of an 808 as a guide, rich drum tones were made, but due to the difference in synth architecture there are definitely limits of how close it could get to 808 and I feel happy about it. I think it definitely has the punch that I get from my Eurorack drum kit so that is a beautiful destination to arrive at. Hope you enjoy. Please comment here, YouTube and Facebook with your questions and thoughts.

and/or the SHIFT key on the Deluge being Midi Mappable to midi note. This could open up a lot of these things.

Thank you!
Yes Deluge is acting as the Drum Sequencer and Force is the melodic sequencer. I did this so I could freely jump between drum patterns independent of the "song part" and really jam it improv.
While this was a basic use of each powerful sequencer, it was just my first step into this experiment.
I'll grab a link to the 2nd jam with this idea, and I think it helps to show where I was going with it...

...and a bunch of different character adding saturations. not looking for distortion so much as different tonal character 'circuits'
