Thanks for listening! 🙏

Thanks man! The Taiga is a pretty fun addition to the pack!

💯😂 def would NOT sell it. Like you said.. it’s too bloody FUN!

Yes exactly. It actually held whatever the last note was in the arpeggio previously when I canceled it. Since the dynamics mostly acts like a VCA, when I opened it up it just kept droning. Really anything past closed will do this on the dynamics controller. I didn’t intend to go into a drone when I was playing but it was too cool not to explore further! The Taiga is def pretty cool. It’s nice to see a manufacturer make something with its own unique character and quirks. I’m really enjoying it so far!

You actually don’t even need to hold a note if you open the dynamics controller up. Just a single press to set the pitch of the oscillator and it’ll keep droning.

It’s pretty crazy how well his performance holds up over 100 years later.

Thanks!

Glad you enjoyed it! I find it so calming. Thanks for listening. Cheers!

Admittedly, it is a bit pricey but I’d say compared to other gear it’s comparable, and with all it does-frankly blows the competition out of the water. And the company and community is so great and fully dedicated to adding features and prolonging its use. Highly recommend if you can swing it!

💯this is always my final argument on the matter as well. If the synth engine is just too challenging to get the sounds you want out of it or if for some reason you decide you just absolutely don’t like it.. the deluge is a sampler that supports multi-sampling so it can literally sound like Anything you want it to.

agreed. I've had my Deluge for about 6 years. Love it, and all the improvements they (and the Comm Firm) have been making but honestly, I truly wish they'd develop a software editor. It would be so much more efficient to see all the parameters displayed on a screen, be able to Copy & Paste groups of parameters, etc. All the involvement required to do synth programming is quite antiquated, especially now that there are so many different options. Otherwise, still blown away with the instrument's sound, layout, workflow and potential.......

Love the zoia! Most often use it as an AUX Fx for the moogs, but In this piece I’m using it as a synth playing a semi-generative sequence. It’s playing here and there but you can hear it pretty clearly dropping in around 2:45

Ooh also for the guitar parts that drop in. Haha. Forgot I use it for that too!

@@oaklandghosts0510 Seems like a pretty good companion for the delly. Both aesthetically and utility wise haha

Thank you!🙏

Thank you! 🙏 👻

Thanks amigo! This one had such a weird downer yet upbeat vibe. Fun to make!

Thank you kindly! 🙏

You're jams are sublime, cmon the deluge 😉

Thanks for listening! 👻🙏

Thank you! 🙏

My understanding is they will continue to build and sell individual modules (if you can find em) but the sound studio bundles have been discontinued. So you’d have to build your own sound studios from here on out. Too bad! They play so well together and the extras (like the tiered rack and power supply/summing mixer are really nice additions.

Started with just the sound studio. DFAM is playing the main beat (I flip between high and low pass filtering in certain parts to add interest/buildups) I supplemented the beat with more kick snare on the Deluge (to the right with all the LEDs) the deluge acts as the brain of the setup as well as drum machine/sequencer (for mother 32 via midi) and additional synth/samples. It’s controlling master tempo with a gate out to DFAM - which is clocked to Subharmonicon. SubH is on bass duty as well as main melody with the second oscillator. Mother is midi synced to the deluge and I’ve sequenced an arpeggio on that. Most of the patching on the mother is for that sound, but I have the LFO tempo synced from the SubH and then multi’d so I can use it to also modulate cutoff on the SubH.

@@oaklandghosts0510 brilliant, thanks for the reply. It sounds really lush. What mixer does all the audio route to? I'm eyeing a Tascam model 12 (for Microfreak and Waldorf Blofeld, controlled with Deluge as well, and planning to add maybe a Novation Peak and some effects soon), but first checking what everyone else is finding success with. Do I also see Akai S900 and a 1010 nanobox? Nice setup, btw. Maybe I should look at Moog instead of Novation 😅

@@JuanUys​​⁠I’m using tascam model 12! Highly recommend! It’s a lil more ins than I need right now (but that’s good for future proofing) but I love that it’s also a DAW controller. The only knock I’d give it is that I wish it had AUX returns. I use the empress zoia as my main fx unit but it sucks I have to send it back to a stereo track and use up 2 tracks.. all in all I’m fine with it. I sometimes use the Zoia as a synth too anyway. The other thing is since I track out to my DAW for for final mix most times I wish I could easlily track in the built in fx. I actually really like the ping pong delay on the tascam. Not a problem if you’re recording directly onto the unit tho. Def a good buy. Suggested and bought by a couple of my band mates too.

@@oaklandghosts0510 lol, 😎 I guess I'll order a Tascam right now, then 😅

🤘👻

Thanks 🙏 for listening! Glad you dig it. The sound studio is so cool!

Thanks man! Ya the SubH is really something else. So unique! For this track my original plan was to stick to just the sound studio (i failed. Haha. ) so I was using the suBH to do both a bassline and melody. It’s such a lil inspiration machine.

Thanks for listening! Glad it inspired you to get back on the horse! 🙏

👻👻👻

Thank you!🙏 Yea the Deluge is the brains of my setup as well as a great drum machine and synth engine. I use it to sequence most of my other gear too (including I believe the M32 on this song, it’s a much better sequencer than the M32) it’s also where I’m arranging the song. For this one I’m using midi with the mother and then sending a gate to the Subharmonicon and then clock from subH to DFAM.

@@oaklandghosts0510 Would you still recommend the Deluge? I have the KeyStep Pro I use a lot for CV and Midi. I've always wanted a dedicated drum machine though, I just never knew which to get or what flavor the Deluge is. For instance, is it more of an 808, 909, or Linndrum soundscape or entirely different?

@@alexandermontagnet3361​​⁠it can sound like all of the above! It’s a sample based drums machine and comes pre-loaded with 808, 909, LINN, and many other kits (plus you can build your own how ever you like if you have a large sample library like I do) on top of that it is an excellent sequencer and arranger and the brains of my entire setup as well as an excellent synth! The advantage of sequencing multiple pieces of gear and arranging it into a song (and supplementing it with more synths and drums) is a huge one in my book. I have a one year review video I did a couple months ago that goes into more detail if you wanna dive in. Cheers!

Another big advantage of deluge is it is self contained and full portable. You can write a song on the train or an airplane or sitting by the lake.. and then come home and finish it off by adding your analog and hardware synths.

@@oaklandghosts0510 I will definitely check it out! Thanks.

Hey thank you! No patreon page.. we have considered starting one tho. Maybe we’ll get around to it. I didn’t write the patches down, but I probably could by looking at the videos again and maybe add it to the description if that’d be helpful! Lastly yes, that’s exactly what I mean by an octave and a half of g pentatonic scale. 5 notes (maybe first g in octave 3, I don’t recall) in octave 4 and next 3 going up the scale in octave 5. Hope that helps!

@@oaklandghosts0510 That would be helpful for sure, if you have time. Thank you so much for sharing! I can't wait to hear the final product, especially after how great this is by itself. I noticed nothing is clock sync, which is very interesting. What do you have connected to the clock input on the Subharmonicon? I see something is connected. Thank you for clarifying the octave scale for me. Please keep posting videos! I love my Moogs! I added a 104HP Moog eurorack case to my setup filled with utility modules for the Mother-32, DFAM, and Subharmonicon. I also added an additional oscillator, but mainly it is filled with utilities like Maths, Pamela's Pro Workout, a couple filters, two VCAs, an attenuverter, an additional LFO source, a mixer, and ALA Cumulus which is granular audio processor module that also has reverb. I've always been interested in ZOIA, I need to check it out.

@@alexandermontagnet3361​​⁠ final version is coming along nicely! The rest of the band is playing with it now. As for clocks - no clock on the DFAM cuz I need it to run super high tempo before it’ll start to drone. The mother is also not clocked cuz I have the tempo being controlled by random voltage from the assign. The Subharmonicon is being clocked by the Deluge to the right where I currently have a couple pads playing (not in this video) and the beginnings of some drums. Sound like you’ve got a good start on some modular gear! I haven’t fully jumped in that pool yet!

Simple delay and verb from my mixer on the sub H/DFAM. the mother 32 is running through a glitchy chaser delay patch on the empress zoia.

@@oaklandghosts0510 Nice, sounds great!

It’s really awesome! Thanks for watching!

🙏👻

Highly recommend it. That's exactly how I use it. As the brains of the dawless half of my studio. I more often than not use it as my main sequencer, but it's an excellent drum machine and synth on its own too. More often than not, I'm using my external gear to just compliment what I compose on the deluge. Amazing Little box that only keeps getting better!

Similar vein for sure but yes to both. Much more powerful (and keeps getting improved and updated via open source firmware) and WAY WAY WAY more intuitive. There’s a bit of a learning curve for the mod matrix, but as far as the sequencer, piano roll, etc. it just works exactly like you’d expect it to.

@@oaklandghosts0510 thank you! and is the new display on the Deluge making a difference? or the old one is good enough?

@@Thejjone​​⁠when I bought mine it shipped with the OLED screen. I think the old school 7 seg one looks super cool but I’d HIGHlY recommend getting the OLED screen. It’s way more useful and practical in a production setting having clear info displayed to you.

You won’t be disappointed! It’s fricking awesome! Plus… lots of blinky lights! 😂

🙏👻

Oh man. Sorry not sorry. 😂 I can label em for ya if you want! Hahah. Start with the deluge- it’s the one with all the blinky lights on the right. That’ll get you 90% of the way there 😉

Oh hell ya! I haven’t been up there in years! Last time we went we wanted to take a dip but there was hella poison algae 😞

Thank you 🙏 thanks for listening!

I guess I’m not too concerned about headroom and crispy highs when I’m still exploring- those are final mix concerns. That said, having used the deluge for over a year myself- i think it’s more than capable. The ‘final’ version of this example sounds pretty good to me but you can be the judge: ua-cam.com/video/vw95ULxRdPM/v-deo.htmlsi=XdSM2g9t1PgaV2vf

You should! It’s an awesome awesome inspiration machine!

Thank you! Stick with it, it’s such a great instrument. Check out RSKT’s video manual series if you haven’t yet. It’s really well produced and helped me wrap my brain around the deluge when I was learning it. I still refer back sometimes. And feel free to hit me up anytime in the comments if you have questions! Happy to help! 🙏

@@oaklandghosts0510 Thank you Oak! I will do that someday.

Was a little tricky getting em to play together at first, but they really compliment each other nicely now that they’re up and running! Thanks for listening! 🙏👻

@@oaklandghosts0510 yes agreed it's a bit tricky I tried both ways I know of CV to trigger clock and midi to the mother. I like the CV way a bit more but I might not yet have fully understood the midi options available.

@@0xFFFFFFFE​​⁠what I noticed with midi to the mother is that (obviously) you have to turn off its sequencer playback so you can hear what you’re playing in midi- but when you do that you can’t send clock from the mother anymore, so you still have to send CV to one of the other units anyway. I’ve found the DFAM is occasionally a little slippy, but a stop and restart gets it back in line. SubH seems to play nice CV/gate wise.

@@0xFFFFFFFEeven if i use the mothers sequencer, I’ll usually still Send clock to it via midi and wire up the other two via cv.

@@oaklandghosts0510 interesting approach I'll try this.

Thanks a ton! Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for listening! 🙏👻
