  • Assign multiple CCs to one knob per track or multiple tracks for transitions such as volume.

    A cool feature would be setting one of the knobs to crossfade elements from one track to the next. Like a master knob that has a number of CCs assigned to change parameters per track or across multiple tracks. I think the Octatrack does something like that with the slider. This is in regards to doing a live set where you are going from one song to the next and want to implement smooth transitions.

  • For those looking at sync solutions with a DAW, a list of current options.

    Since I've been researching sync options as I already have much invested in VSTs but now wanting to go hybrid I thought I'd share my findings.

    Sample accurate sync with DAW (DAW as master) choices:

    DC coupled Audio Interface + Expert Sleepers USAMO + iConnectivity or other relative MIDI router/hub.
    This probably the cheapest solution if you already have an audio interface that is DC coupled and want sample accurate sync between hardware and DAW. The USAMO only has one MIDI out hence the MIDI router/hub. You split the clock signal out to all your external gear, like the Deluge. Only issue is any latency induced from your MIDI router/hub to your external gear and whatever latency is induced from the Deluge to any external gear connected to it.

    Expert Sleepers ES-40 + ESX-8MD + doepfer mini case
    8 separate outs means you can clock 8 devices direct. You can also expand with more ESX-8MD modules up to I think 40.

    E-RM Multiclock
    4 outs of either MIDI, DIN or Analogue all of which can be turned on/off at the push of a button, can be it's own master for hardware only setups. MIDI router/merger, manual shift and shuffle, LFO.

    Innerclock Systems - Sync Gen Pro II
    5 DIN + 5 MIDI as well as TRS analog variable division arp trigger output.

    With the E-RM Multiclock you do get the cool feature of MIDI swinging on whatever output on the fly as well as add a lil lag or speed up the timing. There's a cool full demo here:

  • Deluge over Push 2?

    So, what are the current limitations, aside from lack of velocity and aftertouch to the pads, that are worth knowing before purchase? How does it compare to MPC Live and Octatrack?
