  • Browse instruments using tags (3.0 feature)

    Now that we have a qwerty keyboard, we can actually search for sounds instead of just browse in a linear fashion.
    I would suggest making it possible to support tags in synths, kits and samples, something like what Native Instruments offers with NKS, Nektar with Nektarine, Arturia with their visrtual instruments, etc. and to make it possible to do a search using these tags.
    The Deluge's screen is not ideal for that, but it would still be better than what we have now.

    I'm looking for:
    1) a "synth" sound
    2) like a "string" or maybe a "pad"
    3) with a "dark" AND "evolving" style

    Now the deluge lets me browse through a list.

    Ideally we would be able to add these tags using external editors to make it possible to tag hundreds of instruments faster, but let's start with Deluge support :)

  • What are some great companions to the Deluge?

    The Deluge's synth engine is OK. It could use more filter types to make sounds coming out of it less recognisable, but you can create some decent patches with it. The biggest problem from my perspective is the lack of presets. You will have to spend a lot of time designing instruments if you don't use external gear.
    So, you'll have a good starting point with the Skulpt and PreenFM2 :).
    The Volca Drum is ace and great to control from the Deluge. You can create a synth drum kit on the Deluge using multiple clips, but again, you will spend a lot of time doing it and it's not really convenient to use.
    The Micromonsta is out of stock and I'm not sure it's coming back. It's a bit dated and due a makeover.
    The Zoia is great to experiment, but it's underpowered, so you'll only really be able to use it for one thing at a time: FX or synth.
    To replace both, you could look at something like the MOD Duo X. Its current synth collection isn't very vast, but thinks should improve in the coming months.
    The Pisound is also interesting now that the Raspberry Pi 4 is out.

  • Chord Mode

    Yes please, so that we don't have to buy more hardware like a KordBot :)

  • Legowelt Samples

    404 now...

    EDIT: Seems to be spread across multiple files now:
