วีดีโอ

I've been away from the Rhythm for a bit, but will see if I can give it another shot soon

Thanks! Yeah, I'm really enjoying it so far. A very fun box that works well with the Deluge. Very scared of the modular rabbit hole though. Ha

Thanks! I find these days most of my deals are made on Facebook Marketplace or through local dedicated gear groups on Facebook. Though still Kijiji on occasion too. Best of luck!

I'm not sure I have the space for that policy. Ha. I try to hang on to the stuff I know I would have a hard time replacing for a reasonable price, but the rest has to earn its place

Thanks! I've been curious about the Cycles and will keep my eye out for a good deal

@@BayMud I actually have one that I want to sell. I bought it used summer 2024. It's a really cool bit of gear. I even bought an Oversynth overlay for it. I'll definitely talk to you about a deal on the cycles if you are interested. I also have an SP 404 mk2 that I'm looking to sell. Bought that one January 2024. I've just come to the realization that groove boxes aren't my thing.

The one and only!

Thanks! Yeah, it's so subjective and all our workflows are different, so hopefully this is interesting for other gear enthusiasts. Ha

It's such a fun machine

Thanks! You too

Been sitting in the box for years apparently. Happy to give it a loving home. Ha

Something so inspiring about lights

I no longer have the Blofeld, as I didn't like the interface, but it combined virtual analog, wavetable and FM synthesis. I don't recall how any presets it had

🥳

We'll see if they make it to the next gig!

😎

Excellent! Welcome to the Deluge club. More to come, for sure, as there are some great features coming as part of the community firmware

I still have them, just wanted to try some sleeker minimal sides for a while

To be fair, I only learned that very recently. It's a never-ending journey!

Anything you'd suggest to make it easier for you to follow?

Ha! I keep forgetting I did that. I'll probably go back eventually

@@BayMud I still rock the wood panels with an overlay. Looks like a completely different box lol

Nice. My wood panels are a bit beat up, but I'll probably out them back on at some point. Just couldn't resist the slim ones when I got a 3D printer

Hah. I was literally about to post a similar comment, then I saw yours and deleted mine.

I should have put a warning before the video. Ha

Thanks! Yeah, it's a fun box with some unique capabilities

Ha. Thanks! Yeah there must be something in the water

Glad they were helpful! More to come

Yeah, the exchange rate makes it pretty tough to swallow up here, but I got this one second hand for a good price. Wait until you see what it can do when combined with a guitar in the audio input though!

@@BayMud OK Second hand is good!! .. The Audio input should yield interesting results.. Just seen a few other videos using Pluto with Audio input ... I assume you still have your Deluge??

Oh yeah, Deluge is still the main piece in my setup. Works well with the Pluto so far. The Pluto can listen to notes played via the guitar into the audio input and adjust its scale. Super fun

I'll try to make some time to dive back in. Got distracted by other gear! I come from guitar too and am always looking for ways to bring those worlds together

It's always tempting to reach for that knob, but one must sometimes resist! Ha

I'm curious about the Polyend, but not enough to buy one, as I mostly use the Deluge. We'll see if I get to try one at some point though

Yeah, it's quite a nice machine in the end, just took me a while to gel with it. I recall at the time of release it seemed a bit strange, as folks were expecting an upgrade to the OG Circuit, so the Mono Station confused some people (as it is a bit weird), but I'm glad I still have mine

Yeah, it's a fun, addictive device let down by build issues. Mine isn't too bad yet, but it makes me worry. Would love to try a M8 though

I actually just checked out your page now for the first time, yesterday I just saw your OP-Z short. You're making me miss my Deluge lol. That's my biggest "regret sale". Should've kept it!

@@lnknmusic Thanks for taking the time! Yeah, a lot of gear comes and goes in my rig, but the Deluge is a constant and just keeps getting better with the community firmware. The good thing is they are still easy enough to get a hold of (and now have distribution in actual stores, though that makes it more expensive)

Thanks!

Thanks! It's a curiously under-appreciated device, for sure

@@brutallyremastered4255 glad to hear it! More to come

@deanlopez1978 thanks! glad it was helpful

I appreciate the kind words! My journey has been a bit weird, as I came from more folky guitar based music (Dog Is Blue) and have just sort of stumbled my way around the electronic stuff. I'd say just use what gear speaks to you (maybe find some tutorials on that specific equipment to help get familiar with it), then it's just a lot of trial and error and practice

I just tried that, but curious how long it will last, as other videos show the unit disassembled and reveal there's no way for the Deoxit to actually penetrate below the buttons. Glad it has worked for you though! Gives me hope

@ yup really worked for me. Just be sure to press the buttons many times so it goes deep under them. Love your content btw!

@@TheNamrebug Hey Thanks! I appreciate that. Also your success with the OP-Z fix gives me hope, as I really do enjoy using it otherwise

Glad to hear it! Welcome to the party

Do it! Especially with all the improvements from the community firmware (more on that to come)

@ChromaticFarmer7 thanks! The arp additions to the community firmware really help with fun variety

Thanks! It's a lot to remember, for sure, but keeps getting better and better thanks to the community firmware

Thanks! Lots of practice. Ha

Thanks! The CZ is mono out only unfortunately, but yeah, it's going through the Deluge, so I could add effects and resample

Thanks! Looking forward to exploring more

You should drop by the Discord or Girhub and make suggestions there, as I doubt the devs check here. That said, so far the only way I know of to do the first one would be with a MIDI controller (either set the Deluge to play one thing while the controller is assigned to another, or get a controller with keys and pads and assign them accordingly). Same idea for two synths at once---learn them to the same controller. There may be other work arounds, but personally I haven't needed/wanted to do either one, so I haven't really looked into it. Folks on the Discord may be more helpful though

@@BayMud thanks for the reply! Yeah tbh I feel like suggestion parts of forums are generally overcrowded and dreaded by the devs so that's why I'm looking for workarounds in other sources. :D

You'd be surprised! The Discord is one of my favourite parts of owning a Deluge. Also so many knowledgeable people in terms of workarounds too

@@BayMud thanks for the tip. Will check it out.

It really is a lovely machine! I got lucky getting mine years ago and have been hanging on ever since

It does have an analog effect section that uses bucket brigade chips where you can choose from chorus, phaser or a very famous and lush ensemble effect

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Yeah, it's a great unit with an excellent team/creators and just keeps getting better!

Glad you like yours. Sounds like a good combo

It's definitely a powerful/unique machine. Hope you're out of the pinch!
