What is your Deluge story?
Weeeellll.... I think I'll keep my story short. ish.
I started in the 80s obsessed with synths but accidentally learnt some guitar. I then fumbled around for years until I bumped into my band just into my forties and started playing mandolin in a ridiculous attempt at a folk based band, still going strong, doing festivals etc. I then found tenor guitars. I loved shoegaze type stuff, so my electric tenor got that role.
I then remembered how I missed synths. I'd fallen out of love due to a period of running dodgy software on my PC years before and overdosing in preset surfing purgatory. But then i about faced.
I bought a bunch of synths, starting with a novation summit. As you do. I then added a digitone and an analog 4mk2. But something, despite their merits wasn't gelling with me. I realised the lesson I'd most learnt from folk instruments... less is more... there's a reason I don't get on with normal guitars - too much need to wander off the purpose of playing.
Enter the deluge. It took what I love about the elektrons but brought the extra flexibility I felt they didn't provide on the sequencer (no doubt, it's early in my delugathon to find out what I don't get compared to the elektrons.
It also fed my irrational prejudice of the big league in tech. Possibly fuelled by owning non-mass produced folk instruments in a way.
I bought the synths i had second hand, simply because I know that it is a journey - but the deluge is the slam dunk. I still will keep the elektrons, but I am concerned now that the summit represents the more-is-too-much problem again. So that one's looking shaky...
Good to be here, if any of the above makes sense to you lot... -
Corona
Well I sure wish I'd got the deli at the start of lockdown - instead I got one just a week ago. Never mind though. Still awesome. Stay safe everyone

Mellotron Samples
how in the XML would I un-pan them? I can see the attribute. All zeros? I had to rename the attribute in the filepath to MULTISMPL from "Multisamples" but otherwise thank you!!
