## Deluge firmware 2.0.2 (bugfix update)

As you would have heard by now, our epic new 2.0 firmware is out. Well, Rohan has recently just released a bug-fix update as well, 2.0.2, so make sure you update to get the full benefits.
You’ll find details about the 2.0 update HERE (the link there will download 2.0.2, the latest update)

INCLUDES:

  • Song arranger mode
  • 30 - 50% or more improvement to CPU efficiency (i.e. more voices)
  • Around 30x more RAM available for working on a song
  • New analog-modelling synth engine features
  • Effect tails may now be heard even after a track finishes playing (including outside of the new arranger mode)
  • MIDI CC, pitch bend, and channel aftertouch recording, sequencing and output
  • MIDI note outputs within kits
  • Note velocity now defaults to that of last touched note (per track)
  • Innumerable other bugfixes and improvements

## ## Desert Island Synth

Recently we were blown away when in a discussion about their "Desert Island Synth’s", both Gaz and Nick of Sonicstate.com suggested the Deluge. So honoured.

  • Discussion starts around the 45min point.

## 2.1 Firmware Feature Tease: Waveform View

We’re still a while away from the release of our next update, 2.1, but Rohan is working on some amazing new features and we thought we’d show you one of the new features that he has been developing, 'Waveform View'.
On Facebook
On YouTube

Don’t expect to see this update released till late 2018, lots more features to come :)

Europe Photos

We recently got back from a fun demo/workshop tour around Europe including several live shows by Ian and a special performance by Marika Pratley performing an ambient Deluge set on an original 32 pad "sugarcube" Deluge in Meteora, Greece (pictured above).

Check out some photographs from the trip on our Instagram, and follow our Insta to see photos from the upcoming US trip. See all our users posts who have tagged us on Insta: #synthstromdeluge
