SYNTHSTROM DELUGE - MULTI-SAMPLING MADE EASY!
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 7 ม.ค. 2025
- One of the more recent updates to the Synthstrom Deluge introduced Multi-Sampling, which can be used to produce way much more realistic sounding instruments and effects. Recording multi-samples can be a bit daunting at first, but here is a super simple way of doing it quickly, with very little work, giving amazing results.
Even better, the technique can also be used on other samplers - not just The Deluge!
I hope you enjoy this video. Please do leave a comment or email with any thoughts, corrections or requests for other vids - this is only a small channel and I'd love to hear from you!

Please don't stop making deluge videos. Great stuff. Thanks!
Love your videos, not only do I learn about the deluge, I’m learning about sound design. Thank you, hope to see more uploads soon
Da man. Thank you. Nice bit of context too!
Love your videos Dom. Keep it up! Cant wait to see your take on the forthcoming 3.0 firmware.
Yay! You're back! Very happy with Deluge videos! Thank you!
Excellent video ! My Deluge is arriving in a week and I can’t wait to get started - thanks for all the videos
Great to have you back Dom. Love to see more on Deluge arranger mode.

Thank you for this very informative video. In the process of getting a Deluge, and, this will come in very handy for my Synths (external & SW).
I like your videos, your personality and friendly style is appealling, part of the Nick Batt and Gaz Williams axis. Had my Deluge a week now and daring to take it to a two hour live set tomorrow.
@@Mr.Wiggly Yes, I do a two hour set beginning noon then there's an Electronic Music Open Mic from 2pm. All live broadcast on Radiomothership.
As always, super duper content. Thanks Dom!
This is a fantastic tutorial for multisampling AND the deluge, thanks a lot!
Extremely helpful video. Thanks for doing this.
Really enjoyed the video. My deluge arrived last week and I also love it but have barely skimmed the surface.
Would love to see more videos along this line, especially on wavetables when they become available.
Thanks for making these videos. They are one of the best sources of information on the Deluge.
Find your videos really useful. Thanks and keep 'em coming!
Thank you, your teaching style is great. So clear and informative.
Brilliant
I think that's the first time I've subscribed to a channel when somebody asked for it. I really enjoy some of the historical tidbits you throw into your videos, and the way you explain what you're doing. This thing you said about the flange effect blew my mind :P I'm very interested in getting a Deluge and your videos are helping to make my savings account disappear - you should be disappointed in yourself! Please keep up the videos, you're not far from 1k.
@@Mr.Wiggly well you can't take all the blame, this thing looks amazing.
Thanks for the videos, I’d love to see a video based on drums, I’ve learned a lot thus far with your videos and my drums are too flat.... thanks
thanks for videos! you were the final straw in me buying a deluge!
Can't wait :)
@@Mr.Wiggly I'm loving it. Just getting into eurorack and I'm using it to fill the holes in my system as I build it up. Excited to try out multi-sampling my parents piano once the current covid restrictions are lifted.
@@Mr.Wiggly Ooh I'll check that out. I haven't used facebook in ages so I didn't know anything like this existed. Thanks for the tip :D
Very helpful video, thank you so much. Now I'm gonna sample some Monologue and Volca patches into mine just for fun!
great informative work Dom, much appreciated (must be a lot of work behind the scenes to edit the video!) - liked the impromptu bonus history factoids too! subscribed, keep it up!
Thanks For Posting This, Always Looking for Stuff on The Deluge
haha, appreciate your quantification of the pitch shifting novelty value. Thanks for you helpful videos
Got to say, this is absolutely awesome! Just recently discovered the whole idea of multisamples, and wasn't sure how to begin and create my own. Would be better still if it had a way to easily multisample straight onto the deluge, but hey this seems simple enough. Thanks for the tutorial!
Thanks for these videos, very helpful!
Excellent tutorial , thanks for sharing. One question more kinda general regarding syncing synths/ drum machines and a modular: don’t have a midi to CV module but I have a midi out module (Pamela’s new workout expander) that can send midi clock to an external device but , the sequencer would be external as well. So I guess the question is: can I sequence via MIDI some devices but using an external midi clock ? Not the internal of the main sequencer.
Thanks for any info on that!
Cheers
Hope you get to the 1000 subscribers soon, a live stream / Q & A would be great.
Mr Wiggly I’m very interested in the deluge actually but I’m referring to other sequencers... for instance my Elektron analog keys sequencing itself but receiving clock from Pamela’s ...or even my DAW sequencing other MIDI gear based on Pamela’s midi clock .
Thanks again for answering mr. Wiggly
👍
Mr Wiggly excellent ! Thanks so much
great once again!
Hi, amazing tutorial, is there any chance to upload the sample library made here?? thanks, Rob
+1 for Lambretta :-D
Hey Dom- we seem to have many similar thoughts. Great work.
Really miss your videos! Will they come again?
Looking forward to it! Would like to see some Deluge 3.x firmware videos, such as looping.
Are there any similar windows/ fl Studio compatible autosamplers?
woh woh woh What happened at 31:05 ??? What magic is needed for external synths? Are you using midi? Manually hitting keys? Where is the audio routed? More info please :-)
@@Mr.Wiggly Ah oui! I use Logic but all my live work is Deluge + improv so I have never touched MainStage. But this is wonderful. I''ll dial up some patches on the 35 year old Sequential Sixtrak and sample away. That means the old girl never has to leave the studio :-)
@@Mr.Wiggly Sounds good :-)
Great video! One thing I don't understand, where are the loop points stored? Directly inside the .aif files? Does it mean if you have raw .wav samples the Deluge can't properly hold notes for longer than the sample is?
Hey - thanks for the question. For these I generally exported long versions of the wavs and had them as cut play, just for speed with no loops. In the Deluge the loops are held alongside the samples in program memory, so you would need to adjust your own.
This is super useful! I understand that Mainstage is triggering the external synths via MIDI when it’s auto sampling, but how is the actual sound of those synths captured? Are the synths mic’d or simply their output > cable > audio interface?
Sorry for the delay! They are output directly into the audio interface via a cable, for the best sound quality.
@@Mr.Wiggly Thank you. I love the channel. It may sound odd but there’s something about the quality of the sound the mic you are using gives (it is a colored sound, not the highest fidelity if that’s ok for me to say that), this creates this nice “broadcasting from a spaceship” feeling. Combined with your voice it’s really captivating. I hope you’re not going to get a better mic! Cheers!
@@deepseadiver8191 That's really kind of you to say! Thank you :-) I'll do my best! haha
great video thank you !
Thanks for the vid Wiggly! Just wondering if you have had any issues using the AIFF files for multi-samples in Deluge? Rohan from Synthstrom has said that WAV files are better for multi-sampled instruments. Not sure why, maybe less CPU load? Unfortunately it seems you can't save as WAV files when Autosampling...
Wow fantastic video! Quick question, the deluge can read aif files? Or do those need to be converted to wav?
This is so helpfull, thank you so much.
Thank you so much for this very helpful video. I did just as you described step by step, but the pad that I sampled has an obvious repeating click after the loop point....i tried two different times having the sample length at 5 secs then 7 secs and both times the click after that initial length is super obvious...any tips? I'm gonna try reverse xfade now...what are the other two options, penrose machine and bidirectional?
Can you choose manually which sample on which precise note, without doing this manually, to put a mix of drum one shots on certain keys and on some other keys , chromatic synths (From C3 to C5 for example, and also C5 to C6) ? all of that on the same MIDI channel and keyrange so you can play drums with the left hand and melodies on the right hand ?
i have bought mine today :-)
3:30 oh.. nice, didn't know that
Awesome video. Just wondering if you know how to load a multi-sampled instrument with velocity layers on the Deluge? I've been trying to figure it out...
@@Mr.Wiggly Oh cool thanks. I'll might try that out and see if I can get something working
That's great info. In gonna pretend that I've always known why flange is called flange. I'll pay for it by following you and liking your videos. Nothing for nothing these days. 😂
nice A77.
How would I do this with an external instrument, not a soft synth plugin? Im not seeing an audio input option in mainstage...
Will the Deluge auto tune the note if you're off pitch?
Not automatically no
When playing back multi-samples from the Deluge, is there a mono mode? with portamento?
Thanks for the great tutorial - Downloaded MainStage and set to it straight away! Could you possibly point me to where I can change the output sample settings to 16bit - I can change the rest, but this seems to be stuck on 24bit:( Or am I stuck with that and have to convert in iTunes?
Crap. I think i have misspoke here. Deluge native format is 24bit, 44.1. However, its the sample rate that makes the CPU do extra work, so yeah, if at anything other than 44.1,it's gonna take some CPU.
Dom more vids please Lisa 😎
Where have you gone?
👍
Tom Cosm’s external resampler doesn’t work on the latest OSX.(
New DAW it is then!😂😅😭
Thankfully it isn’t that expensive.
I have only Sierra and it would not work for me either
271 more! Good luck!

I was wondering if I can use MainStage 3 with Output Arcade, the idea is to sample directly from Arcade (automated) and save the AIF files and then bring it into a Deluge.
Thanks,
