Changing the Synthstrom Deluge 3.0 Panel

I'm glad I already took my Deluge apart before, because I knew what I was getting into when I ordered the new 3.0 layout as a panel instead of the overlay. But as long as you're careful and follow the instructions, changing the panel is pretty easy. Also, I made a quick overview of the label changes on the new panel. Enjoy, and don't ask if it's worth it.

This is truly a DIY synth. If they are offering changes like this to keep the device functional as they continue to develop. This is unheard of in the synth/groove box community.

No way I Am now giving up and reinstalleing the screws..until a later date Never knew it was this complex to change the faceplate. Thanks for showing.

Mine arrived in the post a couple of weeks ago - I've been putting off doing it. Thanks for making this.

[@bembeleee]

You are a huge help for a lot people . Thank you for the good guide how to do it!

[@OlivierOzoux]

Unfortunately the front panel is what holds everything together, so you pretty much have to disassemble the entire synth to swap the panel. You’ve been warned! 🙂

@@OlivierOzouxYes it is tricky for a amateur like me I've already made a mistake and broke one of the encoder pot's few weeks ago.All repaired now Very handy video thanks!

[@OlivierOzoux]

@@bembeleee oooh no! glad you go it back together safely

[@aken2348]

Thanks for this

You saved me, i somehow managed to lose my SD card inside the deluge, haha.

[@OlivierOzoux]

Did you get it back? Probably just by removing the side panels, no?

[@AdamRobertshaw]

Good video, but 2:30 - encoders on a bare solid surface... makes baby Jebus cry :P Fure future reference try using a towel or something soft under it to even out the pressure points. ;)

Interesting!

Hi! Do you or anyone knows if it is easy to change an encoder? I broked my Deluges Tempo encoder when I replaced my top panel to 3.0. Ordered a couple of encoders from Synthstrom. What do I need? Thanks!

[@OlivierOzoux]

Easy depends on how comfortable you are with unsoldering and soldering components. If you don’t feel up to it, Synthstrom can usually recommend someone local to do the repairs.

Hello , off topic . sorry but... do you still have Deluge ? And, do you stilla have Pyramid ? They got the 4.0 firmware and now Deluge is a 90% complete daw in a box., thanks to his new features. But still, control over grooveboxes and daws was always an issue. Expecially for hardwares , adfor who like me has many problem to feel performing his music. I would love to ask you about Squarp Pyramid beaing used as a controller for deluge. I recently got there are few controllers that does a good job , but wjat about a sequencer controller? YOu said , and I remember that Pyramid can run circles around Deluge. I got it, but it's not for me. I had pyramid and making a complete track ready to record is a nightmare. I bought deluge as a SoundSource+Sequencer ( orthe oppisite order) , mainly for its capability to express SONG MODE in a real and unique way: Orizzontal . So I am ok , and I bought even a keryboard to enjoy the chords from deluge ,and truly going to buy a Novation Launchpad PROmk3 to have fun with launcing clips. BUT ...!! Pyramid ?????? Can I use pyramid as slave to mainly : 1-SEQ ? Can I launch color groups with it ? I mean can you assign a color secontion per SEQ ? 2-TRACk - Can I on off tracks from TRACK mode and enjoy midi effects rom there ? 3 - STEP mode - Can create midi tracks on SEQ and record automations in to Deluge? Can we match the lenght of the patterns and record them togheter? 4 Live MOde .. Is it recording good from pyramid on Deluge ? I feel like having both I can get deeper in details with pyramid and record all midi in to Deluge. Also Pyramid can export midi files, so basically If I record midi patterns form deluge to pyramid , then I can export all the work on pc ? Thanks for reading Oliver. have a great time
