@pitchblender Thank you for your long and detailed response! I really appreciate that. Apologies for taking my time to respond, I got a little discouraged after there was not much movement here. I guess my honest curiosity and frustrations about this issue may come off a bit negative. Which I don't want to, be because I love this thing.

Your points make sense, I have not thought about some of these topics like that (type of audience, etc.). Thank you for your videos, these are some interesting sounds.

I was also thinking a bit about the generative music aspect of the deluge. I feel like that gets shown off a lot as a huge feature and then leads to people creating these "evolving soundspheres". Which just ends up being this "mushy" sound that I don't tend to like. But that is just me! I also like Red means recording.

What recently brought me back to the Deluge was this video below. It is not necessary hard-hitting electro but it is really melodic, interesting and super fun. To me it stands out and it is an amazing inspiration to go back and dip my toes in again:

@Bay_Mud That is an interesting point as well. Maybe it is a bias that is inherent to these types of tutorial videos.

I take away from this that this may be an audience thing. I pointed out before that I really like a lot of the demos that people make with the M8 over the Deluge. I would not buy one and I don't think this is inherent to the device. It may just be that people who are drawn to the Deluge may be a bit older and seasoned (or have given up on it). And the M8 people may be younger (and there seems to be more). Who knows. I hope I did not offend anyone. I just wanted to explore this a bit.
