Important information on our new focus on these forums and the temporary removal of feature requests
Making requests for new features has understandably become somewhat of an "expectation"-- I dig it. We've been able to for four years now? I also get that the Synthstrom team has a plan and that our suggestions won't contribute positively to that plan (right now).
I'm perfectly fine with NOT begging for the new bell or whistle, personally. I got my arranger and alphanumerics. Those were really the things I personally felt I needed to be as productive as possible--- but even before that, there wasn't a time since I bought the machine that I WOULD NOT use it because it didn't have a particular feature. I don't think anybody really does that. We buy the machine it is today and we do with it what we can.
I for one am happy to have the last "groovebox" I'll ever need.
And as far as having to bump on over to the Synthstrom site-- I need to pry myself away facebook anyway. Those fools gave me THREE DAYS for saying "really, really dumb"!! -

I have always admired the "only buy the Deluge if it currently does what you want" ethos. That's emotionally and ethically honest; it's not selling the D to be any more or less than it is. Of course, it doesn't hurt that they are doing more active development on it than any other synth/gear that I've got.
I have learned a lot from the forum. At the same time, I've always wondered what was going on in the FB side, and regretted that I couldn't do Beta b/c of the FB requirement. I'll be taking a photo with my D and sending it in shortly. Hooray!
While I've sometimes picked up cool tricks from the "feature request" zone, it's low signal/noise ratio relative to the tips/tricks/samples that I've gotten from other parts of the forum, and I won't miss it. If it helps the Deluge team focus on getting their stuff done, then I'm all for it. I doubt that they'll all of a sudden stop listening to their user base.
If the change helps us users re-focus our energy on doing the most with what we've got, then it's a win for us too.
This morning, I taught my son what chords are using the Deluge. It was so easy to just say "pick three notes that aren't all next to each other" and have him repeat that experiment, listening to how they sound together and apart as they rolled around the sequence. "Try leaving one gap, try leaving two." I have music theory up the wazoo, but distilling this down to exactly what a 6 yr old needed was just perfect. And we could do it on the sofa, in real time.
