Dropping another comment here... Most synthesis features except for wavetables are exactly like I remembered them, and you've done an amazing job at going through most of them here. Thanks again!

[@RSKT_music]

Thanks man, I really appreciate it. I think the touches nut to crack was the ring mod section. It was one of those things I learned, I explained, and then promptly forgot lol. Every time I go to use it I have to watch my own video 😅

Being able to randomly assign params is really cool! Can't wait to get mine to try this.

Great video's, good building blocks for exploring the deluge in depth. Synthstrom will no doubt drop some more features in the upcoming trade shows they've hinted. 🤯

[@RSKT_music]

Thanks so much! I'm so excited to hear what those new features are. Hopefully it doesn't change too much of what I've covered. This series is almost wrapped up, so I'm hoping to have everything done in time to drop a final video in it that covers the new features. Fingers crossed it all syncs up :)

Great videos by the way, amazing content as I learn to use my new Deluge. Thank you for your time. Question: Has anyone figured out a way to sync the unison "Rate" ? You can hear this at 22:53 . As the number is turned up. And then really hear it at 23:40 when detuned. The voices seem to phase in and out at different rates causing a vibrato and I don't know what controls that rate.

[@RSKT_music]

Thanks! I'm not sure how to change the rate. I know that the standard vibrato rate is mapped to LFO2, so you could try that, but otherwise I'm not sure. Maybe the tempo has something to do with it? I'm not with my Deluge to check sorry.

[@daithisalach]

I've been waiting for this one, thanks for your hard work on these!

[@RSKT_music]

No problem at all! Thanks so much for watching :)

[@NedBouhalassaVideos]

Amazing tutorials. Thanks for making these videos!

[@RSKT_music]

Thanks so much, and thanks for watching :)

[@fumarolas]

These videos are so clear! Thanks for sharing. I don't own a Deluge yet, wondering if you can use the Arp (and that cool LFO free rate trick you show) with samples or multisamples.

[@RSKT_music]

No problem! You can definitely do those things :)

[@fumarolas]

@@RSKT_music great news! thanks again!!

[@Lord_helmch3n]

As usual, great video and thanks for your work. Also I think there is no need for apologies if some details are missing during an basic explanation of a concept like PWM 🙂 You mentioned that the Deluge series is coming to an end. Do you already have an idea if you will produce further video manuals for other devices (like the Zoia for example)?

[@RSKT_music]

Thanks so much! Glad to hear people weren't too upset about that. Once this series has ended, I want to make a new series called the Deluge Workflow Guide, that shows how to make songs, perform, etc. I also have plans to do a manual of sorts for the Zoia, but I'm still planning that all out on paper at this stage. The Zoia is so big, and I'm trying to find a way to cover everything. After that I've got a bit of an Ableton Groovebox series planned, which I think might be really useful to people, and I've also got my eye on an AE Modular kit, but I'm not sure about that yet. All that said and done, my art channel is missing me, so I'm working on some content for that while doing all of this haha. Man I wish I had more time...

[@koldimond1100]

Thankyou

[@RSKT_music]

No worries :) Thanks for watching!

[@XtianApi]

Your sub count is criminal

[@RSKT_music]

Hopefully it picks up one day :)

[@XtianApi]

@@RSKT_music a big challenge with KZbin when you are making such good in depth videos, is your frequency of new videos is relatively low. Even crappy channels blow up when they post every day. A good suggestion would be to have a series called some name like "quick cuts" or whatever and just post basic learning videos every few days or more. Like a drive by of general synth stuff. "attack" "decay" "what is an oscillator" May sound too simple for us, but it could be cool. "this is what an oscillator does. The first oscillators used for music was back in this time and it worked like this. Without this small electrical circuit, you wouldn't have sound, so say thank you to this little guy every once in a while. See you tomorrow. Bye" Something like that maybe? I am not a KZbinr, but professionally work with search engine optimization and such and I have heard and know that KZbin rewards channels with frequent videos like CRAZY. You could also just have quick videos showing your favorite way to get samples, favorite other KZbinrs, how you got into music, do you have a mixer? Favorite cables, etc. That's five videos right there 3 minutes each. People aren't just here for the tutorial, they will become engaged in you as well. That's a product. Subs would start exploding. 100k in a year is possible, 500k next year, 1million next year. I've witnessed it happen. That's how these terrible bloggers who give nothing back are so huge, because they posted like 3 times a day. So for you, who is actually great, you don't need 3 times a day. I've every other day or something. Just casual vids. Sorry I'm so long winded. Good luck. I'm here to help if needed.

[@RSKT_music]

These are all fantastic ideas. I actually have a massive roadmap for this channel over the next year, but I'm kicking things off with this for now. I do have a second channel with nearly 6000 subs. Managed to monetize it within a year, but I'm trying things a little differently with this channel. Either way, I might have an editor starting to work for me soon, so that might help speed things along. I appreciate you saying all you said though. I'm going to save your comment to my project manager and review it over the next few months :) cheers!

[@XtianApi]

@@RSKT_music wow that's awesome. I definitely want to see you succeed. I've followed several channels for deluge tutorials, but for some reason these make it stick and less scary. Thank you!
