Been binging on this the past couple weeks. So good.
Bojack Horseman?
Right, whatās the post-honeymoon feedback on this piece ?
Judging by the vibe on the Facebook group, it seems those who have one, love it. And the next wave of demos are starting to sound really good.
And the developerās awesome. He just implemented sample streaming from the SD-card, so now itās approaching Octatrack territory and the 64MB memory limit really makes very little difference now. It also seems like sampling just became automatic by trigger, so now you can make perfect loops as well.
And it runs on rechargable batteries.
Iām so looking forward to mine.
I canāt believe these are still in the demo phase. They wonāt be able to keep up with the demand once they get to the final production. Such a great concept and the changes from what it initially started out as to what it is now and the ongoing development of Deluge is just amazing! Sd card streaming is a big step. I wonder if that means sample to sd and playback simultaneously could be achieved. I kinda though SD isnāt capable of that. Kind of like how Octatrack stuck with cf cards besides ease of transferring mk1 to MK2.
Having just received a sizeable tax rebate Iāve got to say my interest in this one has piqued again!
Need to hear more of the synth engine. A few of the early demos sounded a bit shit but got an all in one groove box type thing it looks to be covering the bases very well.
Iāll post demos when I get mine. I get a Yamaha CS-vibe from it, and Iām hoping itās a matter of knowing its character and work from there. Low end seems solid, hereās my favourite demo so far, this guy has really taken the Deluge to heart:
Best demo Iāve heard so far. Makes me interestedā¦
Mineās shipped! Now weāre cooking.
Literally. Iām cooking dinner for the family right now. So we really are cooking.
That last demoā¦ make me want oneā¦
Let me know what do you think once youāve had some time with her!
I willšI can already say that itās a strange beast, not really like anything Iāve tried before. The entire interface feels very next level.
Yes, itās on the next level, Iād say! Itās early days for Deluge, but you can already see that there is a really solid user interface platform for the future! Itās also mostly super intuitive and once muscle memory sets in, itās really convenient to use!
Congrats man! I sincerely hope youāve finally found āthe oneā for your needs
Since Iām known to evangelise new gear whenever I get my hands on it, Iāll hold the superlatives until Iāve gotten to know the Deluge better.
In a way, it feels in spirit like an OP-1. Different, coming from an unexpected direction (as the OP-1 did back then), but very much a considered product and built to sustain a complete production environment on its own. In terms of interface, itās closer to the monome than anything else.
Iāll say this, though. The customer service and the developer behind it, theyāre world class. The only thing boutique about the Deluge, is the size of the company behind it. In terms of sheer professionalism and quality, theyāre right up there with the best.
Hereās a picture of it, resting with some of its new friends.
sorry to say but that is an odd place for a musical instrumentā¦
make music!
Not so odd, when youāre not using it. Itās that portable. And I live in a tight space with three kids. So these things matter. To me.
On that shelf, itās less than ten seconds away from me reaching it, sitting down somewhere, turning it on and making music. No cords needed, it runs on rechargeable batteries.
Mines arrived todayā¦
I bought on Gas impulse and Iām not too sure whether to keep it. I donāt think Iāve āearnedā the acquisition of another piece of gear, as I still havenāt yet fully got to grips with my purchases of A4 and OT in the past year!
