Just want to add that changing colors is not only "fun", I find it actually extremely usefull for organisation, actually I found this video looking at how to change them. If you have to similar tracks (with different synths/kit) in song mode, they will appear sometimes as the same color. Being able to change their color makes is so much easier to identify them in the song mode view!
Yeah thanks mate for this. I have not long ago gotten hold of a Deluge and I love it. I would like if you could make more vids on the synthesis side of things. Maybe going deep into each engine, Subtractive, FM, Wavetable, Sample, multisample etc. I'd like to see you making different sounds and the breakdown on how you do it, just like in this vid. I can't express just how much I learnt from it... Thanks again and I look forward to your new videos man....
Great tutorial, thank you! Love that it is centered around building a track. If you'd take it into the arrangement territory with a follow up video, that would be awesome!
I haven't used the MPC Live, but I had an old MPC 1000 and it was a lot of fun. There's so much great gear, but the Deluge is probably my all time favorite.
I really enjoyed this. The chosen subject helped understand the navigation. Previously I found the grid quite bewildering. By talking through your process we can see functions such as ADSR appearing, whereas the identity of function buttons is quite invisible onscreen. Q. One thing you mention a lot is side chain. I understand the principle of side chaining effects but what have you actually got in the side chain?
Thanks for the kind comment! The Deluge looks overwhelming at first, but as soon as you start looking at it more closely, it's feels very simple and intuitive. The sidechain I've been using is the default setting, which attenuates the volume of the track inverse to (base drum) triggers in the kit track. This can be re-routed to other sidechain destinations other than volume, but I haven't really explored that part yet. Thanks again.

You're absolutely right. Thanks for your comment and thanks for watching.
Amazing tutorial! I really liked the 7/8 toms and probabilities part. Thanks a lot for sharing your tips and tricks!
My pleasure. Thanks for watching!
Love how chill your videos are, great information as well
Thanks a lot, I really appreciate that :)
Excellent. Always good to see a Deluge deep dive like this. Definitely some useful tricks.
Thanks man, much appreciated!
Thank you for the insight, the video is relaxing despite packing a lot of details into it. Great job
Thanks, I'm glad you liked it. I'm having a lot of fun with these things, hopefully that comes through.

Thanks man! Glad you enjoyed it! Food for thought for sure - will consider it!

That's a great idea, I might! :)
Grateful for the teachings!
My pleasure! Thanks for watching!
Great video, very helpful.
Thinking of getting the Deluge, but also tempted by the MPC live 2.

These videos have been super helpful for learning the Deluge! Keep them coming!
I'm glad to hear, the Deluge is such a great instrument. Thanks for watching.
Very useful; great pace. Thank you.
Thanks man, glad you liked it.
I really enjoy your videos, Simon - keep 'em coming!
Thanks man, you got it! ;)
Fantastic video.
Thanks Tim, much appreciated!
Your videos are wonderful, keep 'em coming. Thank you for sharing your process.
Wow thank you that means a lot :)
Brilliant work, Sir! As a side note, you could pass for both an architect and an archaeologist
Haha thanks Neil! Who knows, maybe something to try in my next life???
REALLY well done, thank you Simon!
Thanks Ian, much appreciated :)
I am learning so much from you, thank you immensely!
