IMPORTANT INFO: If you want a more controlled & detailed Mutli-Sample solution, there are some software programs you can purchase that will automate the whole process, like Sample Robot...............it allows you to determine all these details, and does looping (for sustain) as well........

Thanks formthe deluge content, great filming and explanation
thanks
Excellent. Always great to see more Deluge tutorials.
I have only done a few Deluge tutorials, as there seem to be quite a few really experienced people out there, doing them......but thanks for your support Bay Mud!, always happy to get the word out there.....such a powerful little black box.......
Amazing content.. 👏🏿 l use mainstage for my multisamples. And now that I have a MPC one I'll try it with that. But this procedure right here seems very thorough. Love my deluge swear. 🙏🏿
There are actually bits of software out there that do the Automated Multisample thing, (Sample Robot for instance). I just figured I post something that was free and quite easy to create and reuse.......thanks for watching and commenting!
great content.
Thanks for checking it out!
Oh you wonderful rascal you. Thanks a bunch. Wish I had a Mac now lol but luckily looks like they have an online tool, so that's cool. Cheers.
Hope you can make use of this idea......as I've been told, there are quite a few other software editors which will help with this. There are also things like Sample Robot that you can purchase, that allow for custom loops of samples, etc., but I wanted to showcase the cheap, quick solution here.....
This is such a great tutorial! Made myself a multi piano from this, looking forward to composing with it, thanks my friend
Hey T 1 D3 S, so glad you found this......I've been listening to your tracks since Distance, about a year ago. Great to be connected here......
@@willswitchcraft Thanks a bunch! It is indeed!
Good to know there's some GOOD stuff that happens here on the internet too (sad, but true)
@@willswitchcraft 100%!
Hey will nice vid, thinking outside the box 🖐❤️
Hey Reg, thanks for watching. I spend quite a bit of time creating sounds in my Virus and other gear, then needing to get a version of them into my Deluge, for my 'ambient' improv project, so I had to come up with a quick solution. (I know there is already software out there that does this sort of thing, but I wanted to offer people a quick, free option).....
@@willswitchcraft I used to have an Akai S950 back in the day with 1MB or ram lol
One sample per sound in those days LOL
Or one sampler with 5 multi samples lol
I owned a bunch of older samplers, from an Emulator EII, to many others......back when everything was stored on floppy disc, and the sounds were only mono........Had a massive sample library that I used to sell (by the disc) when I was touring with rock bands.....yup, things have really changed......
@@willswitchcraft Sounds like we have had a similar journey my friend
Looking forward to your next video 🖐
I started recording back in '79, and started buying assorted synths and audio gear as well....I also spent a couple of decades touring around the world and working in recording studios. Now, I'm retired, so I thought some YT videos would be fun......
Great vid. Why not use the Auto Sampler in Logic? What's the advantage of this approach?
To be honest, when I came up with the idea of how to do this, I had no idea there was such an option in LPX......but thanks for commenting/mentioning it......
@@willswitchcraft Anytime. :)
I was wondering the same thing. I love Logic for the autosample feature to sample hardware synth sounds.
This was super helpful, thank you. You’ve got me wondering what you did with the wood cheeks on your Deluge. I kinda like the look of it without them. Curious about how you closed up the sides without them on.
I just created new ones that are slightly inset. You can see them in this video......start watching about 2:30:

Also, if you look on the Synthstrom website forum, a lot of people have done really interesting things replacing them:

@@willswitchcraft Thanks for the reply! Going through some of your videos, I just realized that I’ve seen your workstation in pictures on the forums. What a wild thing, was really inspirational reading about it. You’ve got my sub.
Thanks for the kind words Thomas - yes, the Deluge is constantly getting better - no complaints from my end. I'm still really loving it
Hey dude. First off, love the hair. Second, I love the vids. Third - Im looking all over the manual and across several search engines for how to turn on a "latch" or "hold" mode to latch a note while the arp is on, for example. Any idea?
Thanks for stopping by Heli RIdes....glad you're enjoying things here.......No idea about that latch issue. I generally don't use the Deluge for that, however if you record a track, the notes will sustain and be operated by the Arpeggiator. Try reaching out to the good folks at Synthstrom, they've been pretty helpful with me...... Glad you like the hair......the colour was my wife's idea, just so I don't get mistaken for an old granny in the grocery store (no, ......seriously).....all the best,........
@@willswitchcraft hahaha I'll have to try that and reach out to them. Hope you keep making content!
There are a couple of email addresses on their site - depending on what you need. There's also a User Forum which seems quite active....I'll keep trying to find things to talk about.....thanks for watching!
Well it's nice but the point of the Deluge for me is to NOT have to use a DAW. Will give this a shot if the onboard multisampling is too laborious though 👍
Yes, I'm with you....when I use the Deluge, I'm happy to work without any computer - however (as you may see from my dozens of 'ambient' music video uploads, sometimes you have to do some homework/prep to get all the sounds you'll need onboard, before you start to record or program on the Deluge....
So the velocity of your keyboard tells the Deluge how loud it plays the one sample laid down to that key?
An even better technology on getting an expressive instrument is Round Robin. I guess it is Multisampling in velocity in Multisampling itself. Can you do that in the Deluge as well?
Hey, there's a fly on my.........Yes, the velocity of the incoming MIDI determines the volume. (there are actually some issues with the default MIDI velocity commands, but Synthstrom has fixed that in the upcoming firmware version I'm told). Round Robin is more about variation and nuance, not velocity, but it's a valid point. The Deluge does NOT support Velocity Xfades, or Velocity switching, or even sample looping (at this time).......The best way to do multisampling, is to using Automated Software, like Sample Robot, but I'm doing this demo, just to provide a free option......
You can do velocity crossfades with a bit of work. A synth voice has two oscs, each of which can be a sample, and each can have its volume dependent on velocity. Set one to have a positive dependence (shift-OSC 1 level, then shift-Velocity, then scroll to a high number), and the other to negative dependency (same procedure, but with OSC 2 and scrolling left into negative numbers. You could also do this to velocity crossfade between basic oscillator types, or wavetables (with firmware 4.0), or even the internal input.
But no sustain pedal message recognition :,(
Right!?!?!?!
