  • live recording without knowing track length "a priori"

    Hi all,

    I apologize if this question have been posted here before, but I couldn't find it.

    Is it possible to record some notes while playing, and when the recording stops (by hitting the record button), the recorded part plays repeatedly, like a quantized loop? This would allow me to record "loops" on the fly, without the need to create a new track with a certain length.
    For example, if I am playing some notes from a synth in a 16th-bar track, and want to record an 8th-bar loop, then I have to manually play the notes twice. However, if there is the possibility to record some notes on the fly and play the recorded part (of any length) automatically, that would allow a much better workflow for me.

    I think this feature would GREATLY improve the functionality in live situations.

    If this is not possible, do you have any suggestion on how could I record on the fly in a quick manner?

    Thank you very much,
    Fran

  • Deluge bpm-synced as slave, but I have to nudge very often to stay in sync, I don't understand why

    Hi, maybe someone can help me with this issue:

    I play a DJ set (using the mixer Denon X1800) and I sync the deluge (as a slave, via midi clock, using a 1m 5-pin midi cable) so it has the same bpm as the mixer. I hit play in the deluge, and nudge the bpm momentarily (I still don't know how to send a Start midi message from the X1800) in the Deluge, to obtain a good sync between the two devices. So far, so good.

    However, even if I don't touch the slider in the players (thus the bpm doesn't change), I need to nudge the bpm of the deluge very often (twice or three times a minute) to maintain a "perfect" (audible) sync. Is that normal? I thought the timing between the mixer and the Deluge would be much tighter.

    Does anybody experience the same issue? Or some suggestion to obtain a sync that perdures over time?

  • DJ mode, is this possible using the Deluge?

    Hi, before writing this post I looked in this forum and in the manual but I had no success.

    I was wondering if it's possible to make a DJ set (with full songs, possibly as samples) using the Deluge uniquely. I mean, I suppose one should load the full songs from the SD card as one-shot samples, and since there is no inbuilt bpm-detector, one must know the bpm of the songs in advance...

    The Roland SP-404 MK2 has a DJ mode, which even allows to nudge the songs. The Elektron Octatrack and also the Akai Force don't have such DJ mode but it's also possible to do a DJ set (although a bit tediuos I think).

    Anybody knows if this is possible/feasible with the deluge??

    Thanks!
