in Deluge Help
i have previously owned an elekton boxes and polyend play + but keen on deluge
i wanted to ask a few questions / clarify
sampling / playback is there any restriction on sample bit rate - ie 16 bit vs 24 bit and also frequency rate - 44.1 or 48 / 96K? and it can sample / playback in stereo
The sequencer
you can have unlimited tracks pending on CPU capability ? sequencer length / track length can be any numbers of bars?
Is there any CPU monitor?
does each track support play modes - forward reverse - ping pong etc?
you can use 16 track via midi out ?
Can you parameter lock per step - on a track step - example - have filter one snare hit within a track sequencer or add a reverb send to one step ?
If any one can help - it will be appreciated

Hi,
First, please bear in mind that there's the official firmware as well as the community firmware. For the official firmware, the answer to all of your questions is mostly yes, except there's no CPU monitor. I use the official firmware myself but if I'm not mistaken the community firmware has a CPU monitor as well as many other features.
About sample formats, the Deluge's native sample format is 44.1khz@24bits so that's what you'll end up with when sampling on the Deluge itself, but it supports playback of all the other formats you mention from AIFF or WAV files.
The official manual states that the native format is 44.1khz@16/24bits, but I checked my own samples and they're all 24bits. I suppose what it means it's that either bit depth at 44.1khz will give you the best playback performance, at least when played back at their original pitch and speed. 44.1khz is also significant as that is the rate at which the Deluge's D/A converters operate for analog stereo output. Loading samples with higher rates may still make sense if you want to play your samples at lower speeds with high quality.
