  • Chamber Music + Deluge + Eurorack

    This is a little piece I wrote for the final audition of the academic year, in the music school where I work.

    It is the first time I mix a little chamber music set with electronic music, in this case playing a little Eurorack system and a Synthstrom Deluge doing the sequencing and a few samples. My purpose was to integrate the electronic part with the acoustic instruments so they could work well together as a one.

    I bought the Synthstrom Deluge only 2 weeks ago, and it was used for some sample drums and fx, and mainly for sequencing. It was something simple but worked perfectly.

    The eurorack system is using mainly a Mutable Instruments Plaits in Modal Resonator mode, thru a WMD MMF filter and a Chronoblob for delay. Mutable Instruments Peaks for the Kick drum. Happy Nerding 3xMIA for mixing. ALM Pamela NW for modulation.

    This is the second most voted feature request. Lets hope it will be present with the upcoming new 2,1 firmware!

    Would be awesome, but I just can't see it happening as there's been no mention at all about a compressor, plus there's no pad shortcut for one.

    I reckon this update seems all about samples. (which is nothing bad at all) We just have to be patient, and maybe in another update we will get the compresor.

    Based in the minimalist music from the 60s and 70s from Steve Reich, Terry Riley, Philip Glass and others.
    Using a Zoom H1n handy recorder I recorded three simple 15secs piano loops in my Monome Norns. Using Cheat Codes 2 you slice each of these 3 loops into 16 slices, so you have a lot of little elements you can reorder and repeat to create new music. You then use the Grid to "play" with these elements live in 3 layers of music.
    Euclidean rhythms were used to play all the samples. It's very fun to make rhythmic variations altering the parameters, changing the density and lenght of the loops to create 5, 6, 7 and 10 pattern lenghts in beautiful polymeters.
    On top of that I used the Deluge to play some synth sounds and a bass.
    For this video I recorded 9 different timelapses from the place I live, San Pedro Alcántara (Spain)

  • Folder structure for organizing presets

    Yes. This is a very important feature for a good organization as synth presets and kits are growing more and more.

    Enjoyed this a lot. I like the digital crunch towards the end.

    I've been looking forward to using that free Arturia plugin too. I had thought it would be too obvious to use on the master but it sounds really nice here.

    Thanks! The Arturia plugin sounds good, but most of the character comes from the sounds of the Deluge. That crunch towards the end is the FM from the bass sound (you can see me moving the knobs a little in the video)

  • 100 Presets for Synthstrom Deluge

    What's the best method to load this sounds into the Deluge?
    Now, in OS 2.0, there are synths that reach number 167, so...
    Do you have to rename the files?
    Or can you use multiple folders inside the Synth folder?
