  • Song view should work like Ableton Live's session view

    The Force looks very interesting for intuitive live use. But I must agree if the Deluge would get a similar launching workflow it could be much more interesting for a lot of people. Some friends of mine didn’t buy Deluge because of its current song mode (I don’t speak about arranger, this is cool!).

    Amiga909, I don’t see why Deluge is just meant to have it’s current layout, the opposite is the case. Precisely because it has so much buttons and additionally the 16 buttons on the right hand side. Of course the mute/launch buttons would trigger a scene (horizontally line of clips). The audition/section buttons could do many things which the Force and other devices aren’t able to do. For example: There you could adjust the launch quantisation, or choosing colors for your clips, or my preferred function (and this would be a cool and unique feature of the Deluge): press and hold a clip (one of the 128 buttons) and then play eith the audition pads notes of your clips. This would have many advantages. For orientation you could HEAR which instrument is inside this track (instead of reading the patch number which isn’t representative for the kind of sound), then it’s perfectly for liveacts to play different sounds without always entering track view, and you also could record notes instantly without going to track view and so forth. Of course you could also use them to stop a scene as MPrinsen suggested. There are many possibilities!

    Just a minor side note, because people often think that Ableton was the inventor of introducing the matrix style clip launching hardware: As far as I know the first inventor was Monome with their products 64, 128 and 256 - many years ago. After that there was Livid Instruments with their products. Then Akai „copied“ this idea with their APC40, then Novation copied Akai... Only then there was a collaboration between Akai and Ableton with Push 1. There is also NI Machine Jam which has that workflow. Push 2 was the first device which was made by Ableton exclusively.

    So this is an old concept which was refreshed by many companies, because it’s just perfect. In this spirit: Go for it Synthstrom, show them the potential of the Deluge!

  • All parameter changes affect all clones

    Yes, I absolutely agree. Honestly I sometimes think about selling my Deluge because of this inconsistent behavior (some parameters affect clones, some not). On the other hand I love my Deluge so selling isn’t an option. I really wish that Rohan would make the behavior at least consistent. I mean this:

    • I dont like some parameters are propagated to all clips, some not.

    @pfrf said:
    I agree that it is confusing that only some of the parameters propagate.

    But I also would prefer the standard way (as 99% of all sequencers are operating): ALL parameters affect all clones. That absolutely makes sense to me if I’m thinking about usual workflows (mixer style). And I don’t see any disadvantage, because you could (step) record automations if you want clips/clones with unique parameter settings:

    if you want just one clip with a turned down cutoff you had to record automation for that clip. thats how it works in Ableton, Cubase, Reason, guess virtually any DAW.

    +1 knowledge shared is so much easier to find afterwards on a forum.

  • A Second Reverb

    Yeah, for my kind of music a second reverb is essential, too (at least a short one for drums and a big one for other stuff).

  • Save and Load Clips

    That would be dope, I finally could merge my songs (for live performance)!

  • Audition pads showing played notes

    +1
    Orientation on the Deluge is horrible (especially if you have a lot of tracks and clones in your song). If the audition pads would blink everytime when a note is played it would help a bit more to get an overview of big songs!
