I'm enjoying the clean sounds, but the opposite is also good. What do you suggest? ( Parameters, etc. )

i agree. the distortion on there is pretty nasty, but would love a more controllable option.
resample your sounds. With each iteration of the resample you can layer in more effects, saturate, add noise, layer in other sounds etc. Sky is the limit
FM sounds!
I wish the existing FX could get a refinement in the next coming updates.. the distortions are stepped and so obvious. hard to use lightly and colorfully. the delay, the metering could be more accurate as all it takes to go halfway and it feedbacks like crazy maybe some synced delays?. more styles of reverb. maybe like a spreading much like the utility tool on Ableton. < that ones off topic
I mean I never felt like it would be possible to produce professional sounding tracks from this. to me its a great compositional tool. what sort of music do you make @alien_brain ? is it really that hard to make music on this for you? I get that theres limitations.. but the Deluge must be doing SOMETHING positive to your work flow no?
I like the saturation, just goes to show you how subjective music / sound is. The only effect I really can't use is the reverb (large hall sounds like a large bathroom IMO) .
I agree. I rarely use it set higher than 2-3, and even then it can sound pretty distorted. A slightly more transparent saturation would be really nice to help liven up basses and such without mangling them,
personally i love how grimy the delays are.. especially with the distortion which i also dig on this thing. i wouldnt mind more control but hopefully not at the expense of how they already sound.

the one thing I'd love added to the deluge is a really nice saturation / master saturation ala elektron digitone.
it gives a really nice character n acts as a glue for the mix.
Agree, @pidgeo

Yeah why not. I interpreted the suggestion as being congruous with that, to be clear and specific

I understand the saturation and bitcrush now, I would wish for some other sonic "flavors" of distortion / noise.
Indeed we can't expect it to sound like the Elektrons' true analog distortion, but at least it's easier to program. ; - )
