The problem with encoders and MIDI is pretty fundamental. There isn't really an incremental data type in MIDI: it's always absolute. All the standard MIDI controls (pitch bend, mod wheel, aftertouch, program change...) send absolute values. With…

I've been using this workflow a lot with a Novation Peak. It's a beautiful synth, but only mono-timbral. Compose MIDI track for it, solo it for playback, start new audio track, record+play to sample from the Peak to an audio track. Clear out MI…

@volsteh : thanks for working the 66 Kits into shape for the Deluge. That's awesome! @SiccaViccA : that's an amazing collection! I love the "Golden Era" vinyl sample drums, the Goldbaby collection is gold, and The Clapper is hilarious. Just ne…

Was awesome! I loved the different approaches to the 12 minutes. Some folks had strong templates going in and just jammed out the whole time -- looking at you Icoustik -- while others started from nothing and did sound design stuff in the 12 min, …

Feeping creaturitis: You could add a MIDI in, and it would make a nice switchable MIDI filter as well -- depending on what you want to do with the firmware, naturally.

Putting some of them in pairs on 1 of 2 / 2 of 2 to get some regular cycling patterns is also pretty rich, and would make the breakbeats slightly more predictable. Mix and match!

I'd take the screen with 16-seg displays, maybe 16-20 chars wide, just for selecting patch names. But then you'd have to remove the gold knobs and FX buttons, so that's a no-go: the gold knobs are worth their weight in gold. Once you're in the ri…

@volsteh Thanks for the pointer to the named stock patches! That was something I wanted to do for a while, but just kept forgetting. Now I don't have to! Woot!

@MikeKay: Fair use is probably not relevant. It covers use for education, discussion, parody, and review. Creating music, unless you're Wierd Al, isn't any of these. Fair use will not help you. (Are you confusing the use of educational material …

@Will said: PROBLEM: When controlling the Deluge externally, the velocity coming in, seems to be very high value. The sounds are considerably louder than when just playing the Deluge from its' own buttons. Deulge uses 64 as the …

This is a classic discussion. People who come from some DAWs expect to be able to map a MIDI fader to a function, e.g. HPF cutoff, and then work on the cutoff of a given instrument by selecting the instrument and turning the HPF knob. They have i…

I like MaxOS's solution of having a "trash" patch where you save things that you want to lose and re-load from the defaults. Want to lose a patch? Save it as "trash". Very clean. Just remember to never use "trash" in a song! The way the Del…

Stutters are sick! Some part of me wants the drums a little bit louder/forward for even more jungly goodness. More!

Yeah, strangely enough, MIDI sustain doesn't seem to work on the internal arpeggiator, so you actually have to hold all the keys down. Bummer. If you could convince your MIDI sender to somehow just not send note offs until you lift up the pedal,…

The MIDI setup sounds right. Put the two downstream devices on different receive channels, and you can control them with MIDI clips. I don't have a TD-3, but I would guess that it'll accept velocity as accent -- you can set this by holding down …
-
@Gasher... is what you want to control parameters of a Deluge synth voice from the E? That should be easy. Pull up the parameter you want to assign, say LPF cutoff, like you were going to edit it -- with shift and the grid shortcut in the synth …
-
Nice sounds! Can you just copy the MIDI clip, and then re-assign to an internal synth? Then you can turn them both on/off independently if you want to intensify the sound by doubling it? Or is that what you're after?
-
It's like an arp, an arbitrary programmable arp, that you can mess around with on the fly. Very cool. I also really enjoy the way that both examples "play the Deluge" instead of just using it as a sequencer.

Drum trig to MIDI clock?
-
It's interesting to note that sending default velocity 64 with note offs is the MIDI standard: http://midi.teragonaudio.com/tech/midispec/noteoff.htm Aside: I had no idea that this was in the spec to allow for velocity-sensitivity on release. Th…

I have always admired the "only buy the Deluge if it currently does what you want" ethos. That's emotionally and ethically honest; it's not selling the D to be any more or less than it is. Of course, it doesn't hurt that they are doing more activ…
-
I like the top-row as step idea, if only b/c the graphical nature of it plays well with the Deluge. The tradeoff is losing a row of keyboard, but then you could use the red numeric display to indicate which bar/screen you're in. How about press …
-
The "sounds like the synths of the past" comment reminded me of a previous discussion. I still have no idea what "modern sound" is, or how it's different from old sounds, and you obviously want the Deluge to be more of the former. I wonder if Ro…
-
Workaround? If you recorded the song at half speed, you'd have 0.5 BPM resolution, etc. Ideally, you'd want to slow the piece down by 10x so that the decimal places would line up right, but you can probably figure it out on 1/8th speed. 120 BPM…
-
Euclidean patterns are great for sequencers with very limited interfaces: you just enter 4:16 and you get beats spaced out as close to evenly as possible over the bar. If you want to mimic this on the Deluge: set up the loop length and then distr…
