OMG thanks for watching I have tons of other content here's a playlist to all of the 4.0 deluge firmware release videos!!! th-cam.com/play/PLQvVnhG7o2yQIQ6btjqfKcq8-jvluVlHF.html
Awesome vid again @ron Had my Deluge a few years now, but the 7-Seg always put me off from diving very deep. I used to end up getting lost and frustrated as the pad-shortcut legends were too small for my older eyes (LOL) The recent OLED screen upgrade along with the 4.0 firmware has now made this my #1 to rule them all - It is totally amazing what this can do, and you demonstrate so well. My MPC One is going, my Pyramid Squarp is going and a few desktop modules that this thing more than covers in most ways I need. Anyone on the fence about the OLED upgrade, all I can say is, I think this has made the Deluge miles ahead of anything else in the area - No question It's Sooo much easier to use now and feels like its all fully accessible to me - Whereas before, I'd struggle to remember the short-cuts, key-combos or the cryptic scrolling 7-Seg made me dizzy trying to work out what it was saying and remember where I actually was in the menu hierarchy - man I just want to make music :) Thank you @rob and #synthstrom for your continued hard works
Great video as always, and a big thanks for the demonstration(s). I'm also looking forward to using these features to trigger stuff in my eurorack setup, it will even free up a few modules!
Amazing! I do wish random was an option, not just forward backwards and ping pong. Also wish ping pong had a option to not repeat the first and last note. That said, this is so cool! Thanks for the video!!
I’ve been somewhat lost in the beta version since I got it. RON TO THE RESCUE! Thanks again for the help, the new features are amazing, just needed the kick off tutorial to understand how to set things up. Wave tables were easy, the new sequencer tricks, not so much.
Would also be amazing to be able to set overall probability levels for all the notes in a pattern, kind of like elektron does. You can do it per trigger or for the whole thing. Super quick way to add variation!
Nice demo. I've always found Euclidian rhythm to be a great alternative to swing for creating groove. It's also perfect for drum fills. The features in the 4.0 firmware (the stuff you've shown and the MPE synths and sequencing) have me strongly considering getting a Deluge to replace my Squarp Pyramid.
When using custom row length, I suppose there is no way to make shorter rows go slower? (so they would stay in sync, but be in a different time division each, for instance if a have a 16-pad row and a 12-pad row taking the same time to play, I'd get a 16:12 polyrhythm)
Hey Ron, Great video can’t wait for more. Can I ask on synth can an individual row / note have an independent direction to the rest of the notes? Or is this only possible in kits?
@@RonCavagnaro not your fault and I did watch it twice haha 😂 but thought maybe there is some other magic key….like when you were on the kits held down the row and pressed the button just below the gold knob…. How did you know to press that????
is there a way to play back each euclidean sequence lane at a different speed ? or is that only achieved by adjusting each individual length ? i’m able to figure how to change each individual length thanks to this video , but i cant it doesn’t seem to be able to change each rows individual speed or at least i cant figure that out . i used to own an old yamaha sequencer that could do that feature and it was really fun to play with . if my question even makes sense i guess , things like that are hard to explain what i mean sometimes.
Can the euclidean feature be set to exact divisions? Does it depend on your project resolution? Here it snaps to the grid, but it could do microtiming to exactly divide the bar in five notes, for instance. (that's what we usually think when we say "euclidean") I know there's a trick to do that with the Deluge (which predates 4.0), using ratcheting on a very low zoom level (so each pad being a bar you ratcheting will put N equally spaced notes in that bar, but that requires your sequence to be at least 16 bars longs else you cannot get to that zoom level), but it's not super convenient.
@@RonCavagnaro You mean the euclidean feature fills the whole clip, not just the current page, and it snaps the triggers to the grid of the current zoom level of the clip?
Ok, I tested it and it seems to have this behaviour indeed (so zoom to get the resolution you want, then hold audition pad and turn up/down knob, and the row on the _whole_ clip will be filled. A bit counterintuitive, as most other deluge functions fill only the current page unless Cross-screen is activated)
Does it seem like a massive oversight that ping pong sequencing repeats the first and final steps? I don't understand the point/benefit of that. Great update overall, kinda scratching my head wondering why it took so long though
Generally this is how ping pong is meant to be implemented as it keeps your clips in time. If you don't repeat the steps it means the clip plays one less step each time and will go out of time...which is generally not what people want when they want ping pong. Of course, like anything, some people will always want something different :) but this is how ping pong works best 'musically' speaking.
I have realised my brain gets very tired from hearing too randomized patterns as it tries to find the reoccuring pattern, which is rather unlikely. But by just adding some element of stability over time it gets much soothing. I guess polymetric isn't for me :( I end up using this new feature for percussions only, possibly one monosynth but evertything else makes me completely exhausted.
@@FredF78 yes I understand not a problem. It is not for everyone this is true but can add magic to any track if used very little. Watch my demos where I use it, might change your mind? If not, continue to use your own way, these are just tools for the artist.

I'm only 1:45 in and holy shit balls. Today is a good day to be a Deluger
Deluge is utter nuts. I’m loving mine. The most creative music tool I’ve ever used I think.
Ron is a savior to all Deluge-kind.
Craaazy reminder of the possibilities, thanks Ron
Wow I didn't know you could flick the bar length for 1 bar. That's awesome. Learn something new every time
Thanks Ron,I was hoping for this,very happy
your deluge vids are always some of the best , if not the best out there hands down, or up whichever you prefer .
This is crazy! We’re lucky to have this amazing piece of hardware at home that just keeps giving, and you as our tour guide ❤️
"like pendulums.... swinging...." Nice tutorial, thx Ron
Thank you for putting this together to show advanced features. Well done
Awesome vid again @ron

Hey thanks so much for your comments! OLED deluge is epic!!!
Unholy mess by the end :), but you've shown me at least 5 things I didn't know the Deluge could do. Thanks!
Knew I could rely on you for an amazing concise explanation of 4.0! What an insane update for us 😱🖤
Thanks for sharing these new features along with your tips, much appreciated! Already updated and messing around trying to get in trouble...!
Awesome walkthrough! I didn't even realize that you could do direction per row. Super helpful!
Only on kits

Should make your suggestions on the forums!
Change option of first not to 1 of 2. Hold the note, and turn the menu dial clockwise.
So helpful! Thanks for sharing.

I am sat in the bath watching this!! Haha! Mesmerised.
don't drop device into the water!

Yes please
yes and Hapax has this function

Excellent video as usual. 🙂
Beautiful crazy huge mess!! I will experiment all this resampling sequencer tools
Many thanks for your work and this great tutorial! 🙏🎶

That's something I've always wanted the Deluge to have, individual clock multiplier per clip...
love that idea
Ace! Subbed. Thanks.
Hey Ron, Great video can’t wait for more. Can I ask on synth can an individual row / note have an independent direction to the rest of the notes? Or is this only possible in kits?
only in kits, that's why I only showed that in the kit section. I should've mentioned it's only in kits, sorry about that!
@@RonCavagnaro not your fault and I did watch it twice haha 😂 but thought maybe there is some other magic key….like when you were on the kits held down the row and pressed the button just below the gold knob…. How did you know to press that????

Can't change speed per just what I show
@@RonCavagnaro thank you .
What did you trigger at 20 minutes at the end to get the drums to sound so... cinematic?
Thank you
Brilliant! Thank you! ((:

As mentioned , you can do this sparingly so it's not as random.

Lo-FI video. 😹 excellent info. 🙌🏻
What’s that device with the pixel cat?
Divoom tivoo, a Bluetooth speaker and pixel animation, I use it for eye candy :)
Ok….what is that blinky cat machine?
that is divoom tivoo a Bluetooth speaker but I use it for eye candy lol
Could you make a video on the new file system ? Thank you !
yes when I figure it out sorry lol
Nice video, but it was starting to sound like fart 🙀👍🏻
