  • I'm wholly supportive of this development, but I'll stick with the red LEDs thanks. I like my hardware to keep me in a sonic and haptic environment/headspace and I'm at the point where my fingers land on the shortcuts without looking 90% of the time…
  • @semar @tingel Some life events happened And caused a delay Here's that arpeggio To brighten your day https://mega.nz/file/0sggRYqT#DiljOllJU6wJ7GMFE8I7z0TfJ1lyDppqgL8rRowNlSA
  • @tingel and @semar Your rhymes gave me a big smile A video might take a while (My hands are quite shaky and my camera is flaky) I could share an XML file?
  • @drbourbon said: please give this new build a try: https://github.com/drbourbon/deluge-commander/releases/tag/v1.2.0-beta Thanks for updating this essential utility. I am guessing the new build scans songs and preset folders rec…
  • @kbra said: What you can do is to assign negative NOTE modulation to TRANSPOSE of the oscillator to sort of counteract normal hard-wired pitch tracking. The problem is, setting that modulation strength -50 still means that the pitch rises (about)…
  • @Too_Mere said: For sure! Or even just take care of it on a separate clip/instrument, copying the contents to match the rhythm. My preferred approach to stacking is to wire the MIDI in and out together then have multiple synth clips liste…
  • @Too_Mere said: This is not currently possible, sorry. Closest thing would be making the filter self-oscillate without note tracking. Thanks for your help as always @Too_Mere - much appreciated. It would be cool to be able to load a sh…
  • @Will said: @Alder_Dice said: I use MPC Beats too, although not often enough. Every time I come back to it I forget which parts of the interface I need to use. It feels silly having such a huge piece of software just for one functio…
  • I use MPC Beats too, although not often enough. Every time I come back to it I forget which parts of the interface I need to use. It feels silly having such a huge piece of software just for one function. There are definite advantages to @Will's …
  • @reza This is so helpful. Thank you. I had always resorted to the attack method @LegsMechanical described, but it wasn't ideal.
  • Only just seen this. Grabbed the whole archive! Thanks @fenixsong
  • @semar said: I find always nice to listen at differents music ideas/styles. Even if they don't always meet my taste they are still a source of inspiration. Nice to hear also, that things are going better for your family and you. Kee…
  • Thanks for your interest @semar To be honest, I made most of the tracks about a year ago, so I don't remember all the techniques I used. But I'm pretty sure I just used the Deluge's arpeggiator on a monophonic synth part at a high speed and pl…
  • @Alder_Dice said: Okay how do we get this started then? I don't think we need to take up Synthstrom staff's valuable time with this. How about we agree on some shared cloud space to put orphaned tracks and just get going? Maybe the…
  • This will be of no help whatsoever, but whenever I hear talk of using headphones as microphones (intentionally or otherwise) I find myself daydreaming about the opposite. It's a pretty funny thing to imagine attempting.
  • Thanks @Heptagen and @semar - that's really kind of you both. And I'm glad you got some enjoyment from it. I try not to indulge in nostalgia too much, but there's something about that aesthetic that I keep returning to every few years.
  • I was just reading @jensg 's cool post about multi-oscillator/stacked synths https://forums.synthstrom.com/discussion/4058/surprisingly-complex-kit-synth-trick#latest For me, the MIDI cable trick is an even better way to achieve this, which @s…
  • Nice work @Heptagen For a moment I allowed myself to hope that you had figured out a way automate the sample start point, but this is the next best thing! Thanks for sharing.
  • Okay how do we get this started then? I don't think we need to take up Synthstrom staff's valuable time with this. How about we agree on some shared cloud space to put orphaned tracks and just get going?
  • Thank you for such a considered response. I would love it if more conversations were like this, focusing more of the creative genesis of our music instead of the technical aspects. And I definitely don't think you need to be a technical master of an…
  • @Alder_Dice said: I could listen to a whole album of this stuff. Do you have a Bandcamp? Found it and bought this track. It sounds much louder on Bandcamp too.
  • I like this! The three main parts sit together really nicely. I especially like the evolving background pad. Really atmospheric and epic sounding. Sorry, there are better words I could use than that. You really have found the sweet-spots on the filt…
  • Yes, this is beautiful. I am going to say the opposite to @tamlyn and wish for some more abstract visuals (or none at all). It's purely subjective, but I like this sort of music the most when I can forget about the process and get lost in my imag…
  • This is gooooooood! Kinda woozy and jazzy. The harp part took my back to the first time I heard DJ Shadow. I could listen to a whole album of this stuff. Do you have a Bandcamp? Beautiful video too. I did have to turn the volume up quite…
  • This made me smile a lot. Reminded me of the vibe of 'Oh Yeah' by Yellow. Is that the Deluge's on board reverb? It sounds really nice. Keep the nonsense coming please.
  • Thanks for sharing this @Bay_Mud - I enjoyed it a lot. The disco lights deserve a special mention! Keep it messy.
  • @volsteh said: So not possible to get it by removing a side panel? The screw is screwed into wood should go easy, removed mine with ease when was painting them. Thanks for this @volsteh . This is what I did in the end. And thanks to a fri…
  • Still no luck. I'm pretty pissed of now to be honest. I have precious little time to make music and I'm spending it repeatedly buying new screwdrivers and researching ways to remove over-tightened screws. Anybody got any more tips? I hear WD-40 i…
  • Love how the cars occasionally sync with the staccato elements. I feel like you could achieve the Monome technique within the Deluge, by creating a slice kit and doing probability-based sequencing. Not criticising your workflow at all, just don't…
