Hello! I've had an old bargain Virus B for a couple of months now and it's a fantastic sounding synth (after a good clean and LED/switch replacement) but it might be a bit too complex for the Deluge's brain to handle. If possible it'd be great thou…

@Positionnormal said: Is there a firmware update to turn the MIDI jack the other way so the dented bit faces upwards? +1 also for the USB socket and SD card slot. Not all of us live in the southern hemisphere you know.
-
Here and there's a pic on the same page of the Deluge layout with associated CCs a bit below this link The new delugecommunity site is amazing, wish I'd discovered it sooner.

Hi @reza and many thanks, will check it out! Also not seen this new site before, great to see much more comprehensible guides are being done, kudos to all involved
-
This is great! I like the clarity. Needs to be forwarded to someone working on the Community manual. SynthDawg's manual is great but it's old and has its shortcomings but your efforts here including your icons combined with that would help lots of u…

Hiya, just hold down the note you want to set effect(s) to and set the level (or any other value accessible with the gold knobs & row of round buttons) and it'll be locked to that single note, and you can do the same whilst holding down multiple…
-
Hiya, check the psu currents as well as their voltage and polarity; lower currents might cause these issues, as might an incompatible power plug (2.1mm or 2.5mm barrel plug? So,etimes 2.1mm contain springy contacts which cover both sizes) or a fault…

Yes I think, but I'll describe what I'd like in a different way; If I have a certain MIDI controller set up to behave like a Roland SH-101's physical sliders mapped to it (for example) and have a synth preset on the Deluge that I can control with…
-
Wow thanks for pointing that out! I noticed this feature but hadn't looked properly at its features. BUT! I thought MIDI follow only works for the active or selected clip (hence the word 'follow')? I now know we can set up MIDI learn (from the…

My LEARN+AUDITION+MIDI key on external keyboard does not work on latest Community firmware 1.1.1. Tried it with Keysteps 32 and 37, and Qunexus (one at a time), none were detected but FOLLOW worked for a single keyboard to play whatever track I'm on…
-
I think @bunkim means a kind of MIDI controller template which could be exported and imported between projects, or permanently available for all projects, perhaps also as an option in the settings menu? We could map our controllers to say the synth …
-
Maybe the current demographic for Deluge owners is old fogies lol... I've found on YT that some early popular users like Andrew Huang, Cuckoo, Oora or Surco simply stopped doing videos on the Deluge. Maybe they just want paying to do more? Maybe the…

+1 - would also be handy if these variables could be modulated/automated/included in the Community firmware Performance screen.
-
Hi, I got mine used and the audio stopping working after a couple of months. Over 2 years in a cupboard (skint!), then later I got it repaired but only discovered that it wasn't working 100% when wanting to use the built-in microphone, which didn't …

From page 176 of the Deluge Guidebook 4.0: RECORDING AN AUDIO CLIP IN SONG VIEW 1. Press [SONG] to switch to song view. Ensure audio input is set and clips are armed. 2. [RECORD], button should be on and illuminate red. 3. Press [PLAY]. Record…

I've noticed on YouTube videos sometimes the Deluge misses a beat on some hardware jams. I thought it was a video glitch at first but checked a few times and it was definitely the Deluge. It's not very often having said that, but still a worry if yo…

Hiya @t0e - you said above; "on my MIDI Mix I cannot preconfigure specific ccs to specific knobs" but you can edit the values using the Akai MIDImix Editor! Here's the link to download it: https://www.akaipro.com/downloads.html#midimix I did h…
-
Thanks for that @reza - good info cheers. After looking it up I see what you mean, although some folk seem to hear a difference between oscillator ramp-up/down waveforms with identical signal paths... Plus some folk do mention that having both type…
-
The Deluge grid mode is inspired by the Ableton Live Session View, and each column there corresponds to each MIDI or audio track, and you can only have one VST/softsynth/external audio input per track, like on a mixing desk. Ableton Live has mixer s…
-
I've got an old QuNeo but it's been a long time since I used it. I printed the manual in A5 to help. It's a tricky little devil, but there is a mode (CoMA mode, page 13 of this manual I have) that only sends a single MIDI CC of the particular functi…
-
Nice one, thanks @reza for clearing that up, much appreciated! The penny's dropped, and I can sleep easy, knowing that I can now turn the Deluge into a sonic VGER (from the 80s Star Trek movie ) and all my existing half-baked lame learning projects…
-
Hello, it may be that you're trying to feed a very low, passive signal (Hi-Z) from the bass into a 'line-in' which needs some sort of amplifier between the two. You could use an effects pedal, but it needs a line-out level signal or you'll have the …
-
Hello, just another take on this: I've noticed lots of 'lame' audio coming from Deluge YT videos, but some amazing audio too, just not to the same consistency as other devices. Perhaps the D/A converter isn't the quality it could be. It might be …
-
I recently tried using powered USB hub with Deluge connected to MyVolts 9V 1A centre-negative USB cable/adapter and I had problems with USB MIDI, even using a powered USB hub. I switched to an old 12V 3A centre-positive AC/DC PSU with polarity-switc…
-
Hello again, sorry I was indeed wrong! I just tried it again with synth mode and sure enough the automation is only set for the whole column, not individual notes! Must have mixed it up with the kit screen. It would be a great addition now I think a…
-
Hi If you hold down a note on a sequencer page you can turn the PAN knob when in the far left orange LED volume/pan mode and it'll remember every position per note. It works with other variables too, see page 66 of the Deluge Guidebook v4.0 - 'RECO…
-
UPDATE TO UPDATE: Just for the record - I tried using a Korg nanoKontrol 2 with the same aim of fader mixing 8x tracks plus toggling mutes etc. on the Deluge... SAME PROBLEM!! When the nanoKontrol button is assigned 'toggle' mode and a MIDI note (u…
-
Hello, I'm just getting my head around the Deluge's audio functions, and I think that audio clips are fixed length once the first one is recorded, and you have to record from the song's zero point. Apart from just recording silence live up to the ne…
-
UPDATE: Just got a DJTechTools MIDI Fighter Twister but it's doing the same thing when learned to a mute button on Deluge song page - latch mode on Twister encoder switch toggles Deluge mutes/unmutes only when pressed 2x and subsequently the Twister…

+1 too, MIDI modulation would be great, as would CV modulation
