I've posted elsewhere (on Facebook), that I am using a 256 GB SD Card from Kingston, formatted as FAT 32. I did not have to use the MAC program above, I just used disk Utility to format it.

I'm sure this thread will help others as well.

I am now focusing on the Digitone as an FM synth option to complement the Deluge, but I am also curious about Elektron's other offerings. TBH all of their stuff looks interesting to me, so if I didn't get a Digitone, could any of you recommend something else that Elektron offers, that may be alright to use with the Deluge (and why)?

I really am lacking in an education in MIDI (especially as it relates to the Deluge), so if you would also kindly mention how you might end up connecting things, and how they work with an Elektron (model-specific) and the Deluge, I would greatly appreciate it!

Thanks again!

Yes, this helps! Thanks for the info!

I tend to just Google for the best latest apps whenever I get the urge to get something new.

There a nice 2 part guide by MusicTech which is about a year old. It explains some of the ways the iPad can be integrated in a setup and how some of the utility apps work, Like audiobus.

SonicState have some good video reviews on youTube too.

It's really handy for writing songs too, using apps like naviChord, which helps to create interesting chord progressions. It complements the Deluge in these ways and helps to avoid getting sucked onto using VSTs and DAWs on laptop, which I'm trying to avoid and the whole point of using cool machines like the Deluge 😀

This week I used an iPad mellotron instrument called Mellowsound to sample some lovely flute and clarinet notes directly into the Deluge for sequencing. Sounds amazing.

Hope that helps.

I am fascinated by the iPad for music creation. Are there any sites you recommend for software suggestions?

iPads have come down in price and maybe one day I'll get one.
