Modern Sounds Pluto and the Synthstrom Deluge are Semi-Modular Friends
I could resist picking up the Modern Sounds Pluto synth second-hand and it is quickly becoming good friends with my trusty Synthstrom Deluge.

Using the Circuit Mono Station as a glitchy groove box
Переглядів 583Місяць тому
It's been a while since I brought out the Novation Circuit Rhythm for a jam, but I wanted to see if a bit of patch flipping abuse could make it a pseude-groove box. Added the Zoom MS-70CDR and Templo Devices Pocket Compressor for good measure! linktr.ee/baymud baymud.bandcamp.com #CircuitMonoStation #NovationCircuit #Groovebox #dawless #dawlessjam #zoomms70cdr #templodevices #synthesizer #elect...

you are quite hard to follow
Anything you'd suggest to make it easier for you to follow?
Your naked deluge is unsettling.
Ha! I keep forgetting I did that. I'll probably go back eventually
@@BayMud I still rock the wood panels with an overlay. Looks like a completely different box lol
Nice. My wood panels are a bit beat up, but I'll probably out them back on at some point. Just couldn't resist the slim ones when I got a 3D printer
Hah. I was literally about to post a similar comment, then I saw yours and deleted mine.
I should have put a warning before the video. Ha
Interesting Sounds you're getting out of that little Box! .... I like the Clock divider function!!
Thanks! Yeah, it's a fun box with some unique capabilities
Nice presentation! So funny we both got Plutos at the same time. haha.
Ha. Thanks! Yeah there must be something in the water
Thanks for the top tips! Tiptop
Glad they were helpful! More to come
Interesting little machine.. but for the price!
Yeah, the exchange rate makes it pretty tough to swallow up here, but I got this one second hand for a good price. Wait until you see what it can do when combined with a guitar in the audio input though!
@@BayMud OK Second hand is good!! .. The Audio input should yield interesting results.. Just seen a few other videos using Pluto with Audio input ... I assume you still have your Deluge??
Oh yeah, Deluge is still the main piece in my setup. Works well with the Pluto so far. The Pluto can listen to notes played via the guitar into the audio input and adjust its scale. Super fun
I would like to second some other comments here… would love to see more hands on video’s on the CR. I have one and always end up creating songs on it, but don’t use it as often as I would like. I’m a guitar player and focus on that, so I usually don’t have the time to figure out other gear. So some vids would be helpful. This certainly retriggered my interest! Thanks for posting. Take care
I'll try to make some time to dive back in. Got distracted by other gear! I come from guitar too and am always looking for ways to bring those worlds together
Whau. Somone actually knows other buttons besides filter cut-off!
It's always tempting to reach for that knob, but one must sometimes resist! Ha
How about pairing this with the new Polyend Synth? Is this a perfect budget combo as a groove set?
I'm curious about the Polyend, but not enough to buy one, as I mostly use the Deluge. We'll see if I get to try one at some point though
Like you, I have had my CMS for years. I pulled it out a few months ago and had a blast with it. I used to believe it was fairly limited in what it was capable of but it turned out the limitation was ME! As my synth knowledge has increased my ability to bring more sounds out of it has grown. Combined with the great Circuit sequencer there’s a lot here. It does benefit from some effects though. Thanks for the reminder, that was fun!
Yeah, it's quite a nice machine in the end, just took me a while to gel with it. I recall at the time of release it seemed a bit strange, as folks were expecting an upgrade to the OG Circuit, so the Mono Station confused some people (as it is a bit weird), but I'm glad I still have mine
I asl didn't want to like the OP-Z hahah, but I randomly decided to try one out when I saw one pop up on Fbook marketplace for goo price, and now I love it!! Alongside the Dirthywave M9, I bring it with me pretty much everywhere; I'm also unhappy with the build quality. Mine is starting to bend in the middle. I just try to ignore it, but the reality is I'll probably end up getting something else sometime soon. I[m also having an issue with some of the rotating spheres (whatever they're called). They keep popping up and out of place, very annoying.
Yeah, it's a fun, addictive device let down by build issues. Mine isn't too bad yet, but it makes me worry. Would love to try a M8 though
I actually just checked out your page now for the first time, yesterday I just saw your OP-Z short. You're making me miss my Deluge lol. That's my biggest "regret sale". Should've kept it!
@@lnknmusic Thanks for taking the time! Yeah, a lot of gear comes and goes in my rig, but the Deluge is a constant and just keeps getting better with the community firmware. The good thing is they are still easy enough to get a hold of (and now have distribution in actual stores, though that makes it more expensive)
So cool!
Thanks!
always appreciate some fresh CMS content. down for more if you're so inclined
Thanks! It's a curiously under-appreciated device, for sure
Yay! Love these
@@brutallyremastered4255 glad to hear it! More to come
Great tip 👍🏼
@deanlopez1978 thanks! glad it was helpful
Man I would love to learn how to play like you. Any UA-cam you would suggest for a beginner to learn this style?
I appreciate the kind words! My journey has been a bit weird, as I came from more folky guitar based music (Dog Is Blue) and have just sort of stumbled my way around the electronic stuff. I'd say just use what gear speaks to you (maybe find some tutorials on that specific equipment to help get familiar with it), then it's just a lot of trial and error and practice
You don’t need to open it up. Just use deoxit over the buttons and let dry. Worked a charm for me.
I just tried that, but curious how long it will last, as other videos show the unit disassembled and reveal there's no way for the Deoxit to actually penetrate below the buttons. Glad it has worked for you though! Gives me hope
@ yup really worked for me. Just be sure to press the buttons many times so it goes deep under them. Love your content btw!
@@TheNamrebug Hey Thanks! I appreciate that. Also your success with the OP-Z fix gives me hope, as I really do enjoy using it otherwise
late to the party. found your vid. easily explained & understood. cheers pal. jam on it.
Glad to hear it! Welcome to the party
I... need to get out my Delly more.
Do it! Especially with all the improvements from the community firmware (more on that to come)
That arp Rhythm turned out amazing! Super creative way of getting some interesting rhythms with a mono synth.
@ChromaticFarmer7 thanks! The arp additions to the community firmware really help with fun variety
I need to spend some time and go back to get some knowledge from your videos on the Deluge and dust mine off. Nicely done. Thank you!
Thanks! It's a lot to remember, for sure, but keeps getting better and better thanks to the community firmware
You are SO GOOD on that deluge thinger.
Thanks! Lots of practice. Ha
Really cool jam ! I notice you adding fx on the deluge. Is audio going from casio stereo out into deluge ?
Thanks! The CZ is mono out only unfortunately, but yeah, it's going through the Deluge, so I could add effects and resample
this is working out nicely.
Thanks! Looking forward to exploring more
Yet another suggestion but what I would really like to see is splitting the keyboard layout between two instruments (would be really cool to play a synth with the right hands and drums with the left [any ideas or a workaround?]) and layering synths to play simultaneously (workarounds?). Thanks for your video!
You should drop by the Discord or Girhub and make suggestions there, as I doubt the devs check here. That said, so far the only way I know of to do the first one would be with a MIDI controller (either set the Deluge to play one thing while the controller is assigned to another, or get a controller with keys and pads and assign them accordingly). Same idea for two synths at once---learn them to the same controller. There may be other work arounds, but personally I haven't needed/wanted to do either one, so I haven't really looked into it. Folks on the Discord may be more helpful though
@@BayMud thanks for the reply! Yeah tbh I feel like suggestion parts of forums are generally overcrowded and dreaded by the devs so that's why I'm looking for workarounds in other sources. :D
You'd be surprised! The Discord is one of my favourite parts of owning a Deluge. Also so many knowledgeable people in terms of workarounds too
@@BayMud thanks for the tip. Will check it out.
So underated synth… i think the Polysix sound warmer than the Juno. Really Lovely synth ! I have a Poly800 but i would love to find a Polysix at a sensible price someday 😅
It really is a lovely machine! I got lucky getting mine years ago and have been hanging on ever since
It doesn’t have any built in effects does it?
It does have an analog effect section that uses bucket brigade chips where you can choose from chorus, phaser or a very famous and lush ensemble effect
Pffff casse couille
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I think I've had two crashes in over six years. the OLED vs 7-seg thing..... both of mine have the OLED now, & it did make a difference to the speed with which I could find things, but it is definitely not essential. all the same functionality is there, whether it's in proper writing or red crayola... 😂 a magnificent machine which was fully-formed from the get-go, & just gets better with each solid iteration of the open-source versions. the way synthstrom run their business & treat their customers is exemplary, & should be the standard by which communication & support from other manufacturers is judged. yeah, torso, I mean you.
Yeah, it's a great unit with an excellent team/creators and just keeps getting better!
Love my Mininova! Connected to a Strymon Big Sky or Blue Sky it gets so darn versatile!
Glad you like yours. Sounds like a good combo
I was in a pinch and sold my Deluge a year or so ago- always regretted it! Loved how far you could push it.
It's definitely a powerful/unique machine. Hope you're out of the pinch!
Sounds ridiculous bro. Wtf
That was the idea! Ha
You can change the color of the project when saving. Turn the knob on the left, while on the project page after pressing save once.
Thanks. Yeah, someone else mentioned that right after I posted the video. very handy!
I'm struggling with the length of recording a sample line in. I get the 2.0 fixed length. But when not using fixed length, I still only can record about 9 seconds mono. Do I need a bigger memory card then 32 mg?
I believe my card is 128GB, but that only helps store more sample packs. Each pack is limited to 220 seconds total (spread over 128 sample slots however you like). If you've only got 9 seconds left in that pack it must mean there are 211 seconds already loaded in other samples, so you could remove some or start a new pack
@@BayMud Okay, thank you! I will give that a try.
@@James-Deep best of luck!
Like mine. Nice vocoder
The vocoder is a lot of fun!
Every track I make I ended up switching on the Juno 106 and in 60 seconds I’m just im like yep that’s the exact sound I’m looking for.
It's definitely a classic for a reason!
Very informative video. Keep up the good work. I appreciated the way that you explained each step slowly at pace I could follow.
Thanks for the kind words! Glad you found it helpful. Hopefully more to come
Definitely one of the strong points of the Blofeld. I had a desktop version (before it died on me 😢) - incredible sounds and flexibility, but damn, what a nightmare to program! Access Virus TI is the sweet spot though for VA synths IMHO - its got the 16 part multi-timbrality, and is capable of similar complex sounds to the Blofeld, but the UX is really good... But that price tag really hurts 🥹
@mrclaytron sorry to hear yours died! I've been eyeing an Access Virus for a while, but haven't had the chance to try one yet. Maybe someday!
This is such an amazing video, would love to see how you would use the Circuit Tracks. I found the Circuit Rhythm somewhat limited, but you totally mastered it.
Hey thanks! I would love to try a Tracks at some point
No mention of the lovely Alpha Juno 2 - which is a great synth!
Sorry! I could only compare what i owned at the time, otherwise the list of Juno-like synths would be verrrrry long
Congratulations! 🎉 Gotta love the ability to play a track at 1000 BPM to celebrate, and I can't wait for the 2000 BPM celebration 😂
Thanks! See you in 10 years for the 2000 subs celebration. Ha
Got some clicking on the performance mode whenever I use E.g. the stutter. Do you got that, too?
I just played around with a bit and didn't notice any clicking. I imagine with stutter it would depend on timing too, but I couldn't get it to overtly click
Thank you for this beautiful demonstration! One question: why use the nymphes when the deluge has a powerful internal synth engine? That is a genuine question as i have the Deluge as well and would like to understand your reason for using an external synth instead. Thank you and have a nice day!
Hey thanks for taking the time. I love the Deluge internal synth engine (and it's only getting better with the community firmware) and almost always use it on its own, but sometimes I want more hands-on control and maybe a different flavour, so I like having little boxes I can use with the Deluge here and there. The Nymphes is ideal for this (to me), as it's small, sounds great and has faders to easily control parameters right away
mine is completely crumbling as well lmao
Sorry to hear that! In my case I was able to email support and they sent a few extra for me. Worth a shot
Novation usually have excellent quality, and when they don't they have excellent support
Yeah, I've been fortunate with then a few times now. Definitely appreciate the support, especially as some of it has been for second hand gear
Even worse is when companies decide to coat the entire body of the device with a rubber coating - especially fun if you live in a humid environment like me - My Push 2 became so horribly sticky, I had to spend a few hours scrubbing it off. Thankfully I upgraded to a Push 3 last year, and Ableton thoughtfully decided not to use this rubber crap. That was good of Novation to supply you with replacement caps though! They've always had pretty good customer service I think.
@@mrclaytron oof! That sounds horrible. I've heard stories of things like the QuNexus having similar issues. Yeah, I've had good luck with Novation pretty much whenever I've needed something. Arturia has been pretty good too, if I recall
Love it!
So useful!
"Trusty 7segment display" <3 <3
I'm a holdout. Ha
Right. I need to find a way to have my deluge back. It was so stupid to sell it.
It's hard to tell what's around the corner. I can sympathize with unloading gear you're not inspired by at the time. Hopefully you can find you're way back if it suits you!
@@BayMud I actually had it alongside push3 standalone and chose that instead. It's a hugely fun bit of kit but i have live on my mac and should just leave it there really.
Oh that's interesting. I've heard good things, but don't do much on the computer, so I've avoided the Push line
@@BayMud I have been thru a lot of GAS and I honestly wish I'd just stayed with the mac for the heavy lifting and my deluge for the fun portable jamming. It'll happen again I'm sure!
I know the feeling! GAS is always lurking
Brilliant walk thru. I never knew release and analogue reverb were cpu intense. Great to know. I'm in the habit now, off any older song's, I set the master level at 20, then setup the compressor. It's fantastic 👏 😀 👌 cheers 🍻
Glad it was helpful! CPU stuff is definitely tricky and a combination of things, but things like voice count and extended release can definitely make a quick difference (especially with multisampled instruments). The new CPU indicator is a great help
