Beats From Scratch - Synthstrom Deluge (Chillhop Again!)

[@mbessey]

I'm sure you know this already, but since you mentioned searching... You can use the keyboard to search in the current folder (just start typing when you're in load mode). That can still be a pain depending on how you have things organized, since you still have to navigate to the right place first, but it does help to find the 2 kick samples in a giant folder of random sample files...

[@RedMeansRecording]

I didn't know!!

[@afterthewar54]

The Deluge is such a magical device, easy enough for a beginner but in the hands of someone who knows what they're doing it turns into an absolute little beast of a groovebox. Nice job.

[@jespernissen7750]

And by the way, thanks for making a track in this manner, it makes it easy for a new user like me to reproduce and learn..

[@BennyTheKidd]

My brother recently got the Deluge and I've been lucky enough to have some time with it. Absolutely incredible piece of kit!

[@AndWeHaveRisen]

I really appreciate people like you who take the time to share what you have learned with the world!!! 😊😘

[@brawndothethirstmutilator9848]

This is my first look at the Deluge. The aesthetics are wild. It’s like an old Casio calculator mixed with a panel station wagon, that crashed into a 70’s disco light floor.

[@laryngis431]

That's perfect.

[@KL-tn1xc]

I love my deluge, i'm glad to see more high quality productions being made with this thing.

[@MisterMajister]

What a great beat! I've found that while creating patches and kits is a bit (a lot) of a hassle, the clip-building and performance aspect of the Deluge is truly amazing. Neat loop machine aswell.

[@KL-tn1xc]

@ 1:44 , you can work around this problem by finding a clever naming convention and folder structure that you like.

[@mario_actually]

Awesome work Jer! Always love the way you do the performance parts. Very inspiring.

[@gracengeier1149]

Man, I really need to put some good samples in my deluge. It seems to go so far in creating better lo-fi/chillhop which is my favorite genre to make. Amazing work Jeremy!

[@RedMeansRecording]

It makes a big difference

[@cemsema3]

Great vid as always. Love watching workflow processes and figuring out new tips/tricks..have a great weekend👍🏾

[@FuzzyUnsure]

This was absolutely chill and amazing. You're personality is great too. I'm so glad I found this channel.

[@vprice509]

Deluge is yum. Jeremy RMR is awesome. I'm pretty sure chillhop is what the CIA plays though your IPX7 earbuds while they waterboard you. That's on Monday, Wednesday, Friday. Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday is smooth jazz. Sunday off, natch. Day of rest. :)

[@allegro_manontroppo]

high quality ever

[@aardvarkmindshank]

So good.

[@campbell_rice]

Freaking groove city. Freaking groove, city.

[@shadowhenge7118]

If they ever support modding i would void my warranty in a heartbeat for a two line 20 character display

[@TheNormalUniverse]

Agreed if Deluge had a more usable screen it would be out of this world. I hope Rohan is up for doing a v2 someday. (Of course I still think Deluge is amazing)

[@TheRealBobHickman]

If they have enough room to add it to the firmware, they could support an external display that gets updated over MIDI, perhaps with a pass-though since you mostly only need it during editing mode.

[@HenleyBailey]

Absolutely, it's great even with the screen and once you get used to it, it's usable (if a bit slow and cumbersome) but if they could build a V2 and put a nice small OLED screen in with a bit more info, then it would take it up a few notches. Love mine though and would buy again in a heartbeat.

[@shadowhenge7118]

@@HenleyBailey oled display, externally accessable battery, and velocity sensitivity on the rightmost buttons are my top 3.

[@elissitdesign]

Needs an Octatrack like display.

[@2handsomeforlaw]

Awesome!

[@realLonelyTylenol]

"I've used this to death" this is the most real comment you've ever made. I feel this so much lol

[@static-san]

This is the sort of video that makes me want a Deluge. At least it's more affordable than an OP-1!

[@nickcpv]

When I watch you doing your thing there I feel completely lost. I feel like a grandpa watching the kids using a computer back in the day.

[@0oSiLveRo0]

[@robertpeck3724]

Ok, thats a deal. I will absolutely support and follow your channel from here on out, pending one condition......You must never place another synthesizer in a tree for as long as you shall remain on this mortal earth. # synthesizersarbhortrees

[@UltraNoobian]

For some reason I really like the shaker (?).

[@MicroDemi]

neat

[@kinnectar820]

Ever try Downrush by Jamie Fenton with a Toshiba FlashAir SD card? Seems like it might provide some of the functionality you are looking for with regards to sample sorting, search, etc.

[@MattGreerMusic]

That's one of the more pleasing digital metronome sounds I've heard. The one in the SP samplers is an ear raper. Nice content, duder. I've been thinking about getting a Deluge for quite a while now.

[@RedMeansRecording]

It's a pretty amazing device

[@brandonmacdonald7802]

It helps it's in key with the tune I think

[@More-Space-In-Ear]

Would love to watch you play "exhale" in a future video please, love that music..

[@z_supernova]

I know you said you wouldn't finish it, but seeing the Synthstrom again really makes me wanna see you finish the cover of Brothertiger's Beyond The Infinite you made...

[@RedMeansRecording]

I need to

[@z_supernova]

@@RedMeansRecording It was such an awesome and interesting video!

[@enchanterthetim]

Love your videos, always inspires me to play more with my deluge. I have some of the same frustrations with the sample loading, and i really find the isomorphic keyboard system wonky, as a pianist, i would much prefer octaves rather than fourths...oh well. They want it to be like a guitar.

[@blaxploitation]

Just got mine in the mail 2 days ago, there is a way to use the 'keyboard' to search for samples. Just FYI. I can look up the exact controls later if anyone is curious. Loved the video!

[@dariuszlis4412]

Hi, I love to watch your tutorials and I'm so impressed what skills you have and knowledge. I was trying Maschine app on my laptop with my komplete 32 but anytime I just fell it's not what I like. I'm planning to buy hydrasynth desktop plus groovebox/sampler and here I have a question, would you be possible to make this same project as you did on Deluge with Roland MC 707 ? What do you think about this setup MC707 + hydrasynth ? My genre is electronic music plus recording real instruments and creating some own samples. I'm not lessoning techno or hip hop music but really like atmospheric, space, deep sound ( I like the electron sounds but too expensive for me) Sorry for many questions but just wonder what would you recommend? Best Regards.

[@DarioMiticocchio]

I think you can do more or less the same things on both machines, they just have a different interaction/workflow, and the synth sounds are probably different too

[@Ferrichrome]

Ahhh I love the Deluge! Please do more with it!

[@asundayfireofficial2774]

I don't NEED this but I will be damned if you didn't make me add this to my list of wants.

[@donaldpriola1807]

The way you started this jam made me wonder what you think about starting songs with drums first, or not. For me, starting with drums sometimes leads to the same old musical phrases. I suppose it depends on what you're making.

[@ZakariaTheProducer]

Hello my name is Zach and I make music. Can I borrow this video sound to re sample the sounds?

[@badbenjy]

Have you linked the Deluge to your modular yet? Ive been thinking about using expert sleepers fh2 to turn the Deluge in to a sequencing god. Imagine having modulation CV and Gate on the Deluge screen!

[@RedMeansRecording]

not yet!

[@badbenjy]

@@RedMeansRecording every time I look at buying a sequencer, the deluge does it better. At the moment I'm stuck with the normal outs... But with midi to cv-gate I think it's Gona be super Powerful.

[@jespernissen7750]

What sample packs did you use from Samplified?

[@RedMeansRecording]

The lofi and sad one

[@darksentinel082]

Gahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh I want one

[@erosxion]

Thank You! I love all your videos but when you grab the Deluge I get all charged up!

[@asdvvvvf5381]

Do you need an audio interface to use the OP1 on Garageband?

[@almightyEsquilax]

Depends on how you want to use it. You could cook up some stems on the OP-1, hook it up via usb to transfer the files, and finish them off in Garage Band without an audio interface.

[@asdvvvvf5381]

@@almightyEsquilax I want to be able to play my op1 and hear it through my garageband so i can record it live. Rather then transfer files.

[@TheMrboom11]

what's the benefit to using this as opposed to just using a DAW??? Not a critique just a curious question, I'm not that knowledgeable on music hardware.

[@brandonmacdonald7802]

It's more fun than clicking a mouse.

[@coachthierry1]

Beat from scratch with cycles next maybe?
