Hi, I come from an Ableton background and am interested in the new grid mode of the Community firmware. I have an opportunity to purchase a Deluge but I'm confused about some limitations and the terminology also complicates my understanding.

Is it correct that the Deluge can only have 12 clips/patterns per track?
The limits stated seem to apply to song sections, but I can't see anywhere anyone saying "you can have 256 clips" only that the Grid mode is limited to 12 launchable clips per track.

I'd mainly use the Deluge as a sequencer for my external gear, and in each song I certainly need more than 12 clips per track. The model and terminology makes searching quite difficult, for example I encountered the references to "white" clips of which there can be many more it seems, but are apparently only available to arrangements - so the Grid mode would only have the basic 12 clips per track. Is that correct?

I don't really need "sections" here, I need a lot of clips per track! Like 128 clips per song per MIDI track would be nice!

These pricings and timings are accurate, in my experience. A warning though - I paid $20.50 for postage but the company carrying out the upgrade (Sarah Jury, Synthprof in Suffolk) returned using "Royal Mail Tracked 24" for £3.99 with only £150 insurance cover. I sent it with Special Delivery and £750 cover. The instructions say about the postage "(We will refund you the difference in the actual cost)”.

I contacted Synthstrom about this difference several times in the last month and have had no reply. When I was paying for the upgrade - responses were swift. So, I feel I was ripped off and, now, ignored. It has basdly tarnished my view of the company..

This makes me VERY nervous to get the upgrade in the UK!
I wish there was a way to drop off and pick up in person. Our postal system is not to be trusted these days
