I'm also looking for this. Scala scale import. Or at least being able to fine tune each note in a scale. This would be amazing, and is really where I'm heading musically. Its so hard to find digital instruments that properly support this too.

I've been looking for an "Ableton in a box" hardware solution for about 10 years now. I just bought an MPC Live which seems to almost fit that bill, for most of my needs anyway. I just discovered the Deluge... it does a few things I wish the MPC did (sidechain!), although extra audio outputs would have been good too.

My main use case is playing back track stems - I used to do Ableton laptop+MIDI controller sets, dubbing out and arranging my tracks live. I want to be able to do this without a computer. The Deluge looks like it can do this. I have some questions:

1. Can it play audio samples/loops of different lengths? E.g. if one of my songs has an audio track the full length of the song. I'd also want this to be able to do polyrhythmic stuff. I can see tracks can be odd lengths so assume this is possible.
2. Is it possible to have a global delay send effect? E.g. for sending the odd snare or stab off to a delay and then tweaking its feedback dub style.
3. Switching "songs": I see there is some discussion around this; for the moment I'd be fine with playing some interlude ambience between songs via the audio input (?) but would be good to be able to do a whole live set seamlessly.

Thanks!
