Multichannel MIDI on the Deluge for Fun and Profit

[@sinepilot]

Jeremy you are a yeoman and a scholar. I'm having so much fun in YT-land watching other people talk about and explore this box. My setup came alive when I got this box and I just want to hug & kiss everyone else out there who "gets it". Don't worry, I'm straight, just HAF rn, and I haven't been this prolific in YEARS. _YEARS_ I tell ya!

[@memorysound]

Always makes me so happy to see another Deluge video!

[@DavidDeLuge]

The Deluge is the most fantastic piece if kit. It just seems to be very capable at doing pretty much everything. One of the best devices I have purchased.

[@RedMeansRecording]

agree!!

[@sinepilot]

You named yourself after it, and it's still only "one of" the best devices? :-D Haha jk just sitting here loving my Deluge too

[@ListerTunes]

Club mixes of the Zelda theme are what I never knew I always needed.

Buddy, the late 90s, early 00s Internet was basically exclusively that.

[@Cloud_Brn]

Absolutely incredible! Would love to see some more Deluge videos from you that dive into the new community software developments!

[@jmvanstight]

Perfect, was looking for this to hook up the Deluge to Ableton using the Mixed in Key Satellite Sessions plugin to co-create a track with a friend on the other side of the country. Now I can directly import his Midi Stems! Thnx.

[@mbessey]

I did something similar when I replaced my Novation Circuit with the Deluge. I used MIDI to transfer my favorite songs from one to the other. No PC involved, of course, but the process was similar. I have sometimes wanted to have better support in the Deluge to directly import MIDI files, but I think almost everyone has a DAW of some sort that can play back MIDI for this sort of work.

[@tonytricks]

you can import midi into deluge,using the Downrush/midian app

[@healthyhappyhero]

Any regrets? I have a circuit and it's great, but the sampling on the deluge is very attractive to me.

[@mbessey]

No regrets. The Deluge can seem kind of overwhelming at first, but it's actually very straightforward to use. Almost all of the shortcuts are screen-printed on the case. Having infinite pattern lengths and arranger mode is much easier to use than chaining patterns on the Circuit is.

[@healthyhappyhero]

Mark Bessey thanks for the reply!

[@nyeus]

Love your deluge videos. Thanks!

Ooooh, maybe MIDI remixes for this Jamuary now! :D Great video, and great idea, thanks!

3:25 I now want Jermey to do an all a cappella Zelda theme.

Dude, I Freacking love the how to do shit videos. My advice to anyone ( When ya struggle with ya own shit just ask Jeremy to deposit a load of info and watch this space :P cheers dude "PLEASE MORE DELUGE VIDEOS I JUST GOT MY SELF ONE) I live in the UK and after transportation tax and all the above #£1000 or more but man it's well worth it just like you are my friend thank you, bro

[@TheRhyne91]

yes, thanks a million Red

[@LordoftheBadgers]

Oh what am I not getting here... When I do midi setup (live 11) I just get the cursor flashing on the last column on the deli... Why is that?

[@RichardJNeo]

Excellent, now I can painstakingly comber my old MPC projects. It’d be good if the Deluge could just read a .mid file directly from the SD card into the sequencer but this will get the job done for now 😁

[@Mibbzz]

Such a good idea, thank you mister red cords man

[@RhombusLabs]

Thank you, more Deluge please!

[@badbenjy]

Next we need the Deluge Midi linked to Eurorack. Lots of options with Expert sleepers FH2 and similar

[@Maochan81]

Thanks, that was helpful. Now i just need a good sampling & chopping tutorial.

Can you say please what drum kit used at 5:50? Its sick. Thanks!

[@strawberrypancake3253]

This is exciting technology, might buy one!

[@yvesb.5190]

I just wanted to say THANK YOU for sharing your knowledge with us!! 🤗 I'm also still impressed by how versatile the Deluge is and by how good it sounds! ;-) PS: Would you mind doing a video about how to create templates in Ableton and Deluge, so that one can sequence up to 16 VSTs (sitting on 16 different channels in Ableton) via Deluge? Also, can this be "bi-directional".... e.g. you program a sequence in Deluge and then you add or remove notes on the piano roll in Ableton and Deluge will take these changes into account? (This may be obvious procedure for many of you but I'm still lost when it comes to MIDI). IF such a video has already been made.... thanks to point me in the right direction!! Cheers!!! 😉👌

[@magickpalms4025]

yes thank you moar deluge, this is amazing

[@tingeltours4160]

Ahoi, thanks a lot for that great tutorial! - well, i fon't find how to that my deluge to record a long track ad yours... mine is always repeating after 16steps if i don't manually extend the time with the upper leftblack knob... is there any quicker way extending or unlimiting the record length?

[@jimlampshady]

Talking about midi fun, I downloaded the excellent (and free!) Stochas VST sequencer the other day, which allows you to set the probability of a note sounding, which I used to control a Volca Keys. Very basic, and utterly hypnotic. Does the Deluge also have functionality for random midi sequencing?

[@liljayadventures2002]

It does.

[@jimlampshady]

@@liljayadventures2002 Nice 1.

[@ChillOutVisuals]

I tried this with Logic Pro. When I want to record midi from the computer, the deluge records midi but does not automatically go to the next page, what am I doing wrong?

[@ggorgo]

You had me at Zelda 😎🎶

[@unwind1699]

This is an awesome machine. Nice Vid 👍🏽

[@ElFlow66]

this is awesome! so i can send any song i made in flstudio, instrument by instrument, to the deluge, record it (looks like a pain in the ass but hey), chop it up and remix it? no midi file support for the deluge yet? - 4 days til touchdown, can't wait for my deluge... :)

[@kobiorcohen6863]

Hey Man! love your channel and your content! thanks for that. if you had to choose between the deluge or the Digitakt as a sequencer/drum machine what would you prefer? Thanks (:

[@pontushedstorm3026]

Hello! I am trying to make this work with reason studio 12 but it wont record the midi!? Any suggestions? More than grateful for an answer!

[@whitevinyljunkie]

TY! Keep em Coming🎼

[@darksentinel082]

if you keep making videos on this thing i might have to start saving up for one

[@magickpalms4025]

it is worth it

[@jbonati]

Jeremy, great video! This is advanced shit. Question - when you DO have a situation where the recorded Midi timing is messed up by quantizing in the Deluge, how do you turn that off? That was my trip-up when recording Midi in the past. Thanks for your work.

[@andreacfromtheapp]

This is amazing, thank you. However, I wish Deluge had a way to import midi directly from files. Or am I missing it?

[@Jebrald0]

I wonder if after you set up the midi but before you record the data, save the song as a midi init song for later use.

[@ashtomtube]

Jebrald0 I think he mentioned in the video that you could indeed save a blank song that is already setup for midi and use it as a template.

[@Jebrald0]

Alexandre Thomas thanks man, i must have missed that. It’s cool how easy it is to save all the settings on the deluge :)

[@butterylabs]

LOOOOOOVE the Deluge ...

[@Arperture]

Its a shame that Synthstrom hasn't added MIDI import to the Deluge yet. :/

[@RedMeansRecording]

apparently it's easy with Downrush

[@PulzarTZ]

Hey Folkz! So the day has come and I'm finally able to load some sweet Donna Summer MIDI onto my Deluge. The only problem is that when I play back from Ableton to record MIDI onto the Deluge, it recieves double tempo.. So instead of 130 it's at 260. What setting do I miss here? Thanks in advance!

[@hotelsinus]

i just thinking how to use 2 deluge synth in one track in deluge!.. so i need only one track and two synth track and the one synth track go to two different internal synth,.,., maybe its not possible. but there is a workouround.. or maybe i can route one synth to another track for different effects on it / but same one pattern,.... somehting like splitted output?

[@kegstandjesus]

For fun and profit? Hmm did you use to smash stacks for similar reasons?

[@RandomProductionszsz]

So can you just freely record patterns of any length into the Deluge? And is that a default or do you have to activate a specific setting?

[@RedMeansRecording]

Yes and you just have to turn the knob that extends to the pattern length

[@cardboardmusic]

I imagine (without going through YT tutorials) if Deluge can receive midi from a DAW on multiple channels, you can also record from the Deluge into a DAW too?

[@RedMeansRecording]

Midi maybe. Multichannel audio in realtime no.

[@cardboardmusic]

@@RedMeansRecording Sorry, I forgot to say I meant midi. But come to think about it, Soundcraft has a 12 channel USB multitrack, which shows it would be possible.

You just sold a zillion Deluge's (Delugii?)

[@spikemoss]

TIL the sound of my childhood theme song was just the init patch

[@mbessey]

There's a weird kind of feedback loop going on there - early video game sounds were primitive because of hardware limitations. A whole generation of musicians and producers grew up on them, so now companies like Synthstrom make their "init patch" kind of retro chip-tune-ish, which means you can recreate that sound really easily.

[@RedMeansRecording]

yup! basic waveforms!

[@Rustik1722]
