I hope this isn't an overstatement, but Jeremy might be one of the coolest, most consistently good producers in electronic music today. The things he whips up for tech demos and tutorials consistently outdo big label EDM artists with millions of streams. Thank you for making such compelling art and for sharing it with us.
Love this video. Such a great use of these machines, and really nice to see the Deluge back on your channel. Can't wait for the new open source update!
I got the retrofit done. It really makes it feel like a completely new device. Also, good on synthstrom for offering this as a retrofit and not a deluge 1.5 version that would be a completely new purchase. I don’t know if there is another company right now that is doing as much to maximize the life of an existing product.
I would love to have mine retrofit, but I haven't really seen any evidence that it's groundbreaking except for the fact that sample browsing becomes easier. The rest appears to be as easy or hard as before.
Know that synthstrom announced they are open sourcing the code. Im sure that for the near future the community program mods will largely revolve around the OLED version, BUT id imagine it is only a matter of time before users start releasing mobile and PC companion interfaces altogether.
@@jaysire You are not wrong. If I am completely honest my main reason for doing the retrofit was not necessarily about the display itself. I wanted to support the idea behind it and that offering an upgrade path for hardware is something that consumers are interested in. That being said, it does make a lot of the operations much easier to quickly read on the display (the X still got me every time on the LED). Even just switching OSC types, or the current note. Song/Sample management does become soo much easier. The one advantage of the LED screen is that I became so used to just using the shortcuts. Which makes exploring ideas and sound design pretty quick. I also love that they are maintaining feature parity with the old screen. So that it remains an optional update. I could see some companies implementing features that would require the updated version.
@@joshc9201 I agree with everything you said. I would probably do the retrofit at some point if they are still offering EU slots. I don't have a receipt for my device, so I don't want to send it somewhere where I might incur taxes upon return.
Still waiting to get the invite to get mine retrofitted, this looks very promising! Wish the process was a bit more transparent, like some way to check position in the queue. But I also understand that its an insane task to manage. Even the possibility to be able to upgrade hardware like this is amazing. I always kinda struggled with the lack of a proper display, especially if you don't use it that often (and your brain is potato like me) you can start learning the thing all over again.
The programed riser to keep the energy moving is some good advise. I need to go figure out how to implement that in my rack... Nicely done and thanks for sharing!
@@Wichenroder I most often use a clock that gives me 16th note resolution, so 16 clock pulses per bar in 4/4 time. If I want the riser to auto trigger every 16 bars, I would use a clock division of 256. That is 16 pulses per bar x 16 bars = 256 pulses. So that clock divider would put out one pulse every 256 pulses of the main clock.
Masterful, Jeremiah ❤️ I love gow quickly you get to such a polished track...Put in the order for my retrofit a few weeks ago, and am looking forward to it!
Oh gotta admit that came together better than I thought during the making of part. Not that it sounded bad then, but the performance was really great. Very inspiring. After having been really good with finishing stuff for years, I’ve been back to loop land recently. I’ll try out the riser and falls trick to do some more performance based stuff.
Jeremy, I really like my screen on the force, but love the flexibility and portability of the deluge especially with this new oled. Do you prefer one over the other? Sidebar: a video on pointing out the dangers of fomo with the push 3 and the disingenuous marketing that ableton is pulling not clearly stating it doesn’t include ableton suite would be a banger for sure
Got one of the first oled deluges released such a great device the way can sequence longer sequences is the best I have used looking forward to seeing what the tech nerds come up with when the open source code is on the go btw great video peace
Love this, and love the Deluge, it keeps getting better. Can't wait to see what people come up with now they have open sourced the firmware. Thank you!
The scenes in Octatrack let you lock parameters so I can lock a filter up or down or a reverb up or something like that to create a transitional mood and then use the fader to transition there and back.
I want a sample groovebox that can send sample auditioning only to the headphone output, and not the master line out. So you can have a headset monitoring the whole mix, but no one else would hear when you're flipping through samples to find the right one. Only when performed/sequenced
Long time first time here, always love your stuff man. I'm curious, what headphones are you using here? I noticed the mic and I was wondering if these headphones are actually good for streaming while creating a jam, or if you added a mic attachment to an already good set of cans. Cheers!
Hey, great stuff, thanks for all your work and your videos ❤ one question : if I understand well, you have everything coming from the Deluge except the bass. Is it an issue when it comes to get a good mix/balance between all the elements because everything (from kick to vocals and pads) is goin through the OT? Same question for the OT FX (through and neighbour tracks) : how to play with these fx if everything is going through the same channel except the bass? Or maybe fx on your OT are just saturation and comp and not fx such as delay or reverb?
I was just thinking, damn I'd love to see some long form video of stuff being made on the deluge to inspire me. And bam, here's RedMeansRecording. Just providing like some psychic creator
Love my Deluge. It’s au absolute monster machine. Not sure I would have bothered to use another device for the bass tbh. Easier just to slam them down on the Deluge.
@Red Means Recording - you said you got the Deluge "back"? Did you send it somewhere to get the OLED installed? I picked up a Deluge after the first video you put out on it... VERY interested in this upgrade but not something I'd want to chance myself!
Putting the raisers on a long track to help fill and mark transitions is one of the best advice for live preforming I got in years - thanks Jeremy
This. Such a great tip!
i love seeing Jeremiah McRecording use the octatrack

Well fuck ❤️🦀❤️🦀❤️🦀❤️🦀
Ditto that!
We are literally not worthy of Jeremiah McRecording.
Definitely agree with this. We're so blessed
❤ More Deluge please. This was great!
My Deluge is away having the OLED screen upgrade and this video has got me all enthused again. Great stuff 😊
Love this video. Such a great use of these machines, and really nice to see the Deluge back on your channel. Can't wait for the new open source update!
The open source stuff is going to be wild
Love the idea of having 32 bar risers and fallers set up and looping
Just got my notice to get my deluge upgraded. Can’t wait. Perfect timing for this vid.
Your "From Scratch" videos always inspire me
I saw one in the wild and it was very, very compelling. It made me want a Deluge.

Baking in risers is so clever. Coming from live modular, this is exactly the hard-to-trigger stuff that is missing in so many performances.
More of your music, less go! Love your art!
Love your videos Jeremy. They help to bring me back down to earth when I feel like the world is going to shit.

Something like the rample would be a good tool for that.
trigger them by a big clock division
@@fuzziemusic exactly
@fuzziemusic What does that mean? Genuine question from noob central.

This is gold, awesome video dude🤟🏻
Dude this was excellent! I very much appreciate that you'd share this very rational and effective process ❤
I am here, and this is my comment. Keep up the good work!
It was an instant buy for me when they announced the OLED. Love seeing the way you use it!
Aaaah, I should send mine in as well. I imagine for sound design it will make a huge difference.
Masterful, Jeremiah ❤️ I love gow quickly you get to such a polished track...Put in the order for my retrofit a few weeks ago, and am looking forward to it!
“.there’s something real magical about the closed hihat”.
This is so amazing and inspiring. I learn so much each time to do one of these videos showing how you build a track.
Same!
I really love getting to follow your thought process here, and the end result was awesome!
so awesome..................sadly, my Deluge has been away for repair for a couple of months............learned lots...thanks
I'm sending mine off to get upgraded tomorrow! So excited to breathe new life into my favorite sequencer/groovebox
Might have inspired me to finally ship my Deluge for the OLED retrofit.
Oh gotta admit that came together better than I thought during the making of part. Not that it sounded bad then, but the performance was really great.
Very inspiring.

You had me at Deluge.
😂
This is the guy you want to invite to your parties...
What a vibe!
Very informative and great vibe

Very enjoyable. Thanks for making this.
Would love to see a 32 bar effects loop with some more explanation! ❤️
Sooo cool! I'm a beginner, but the Deluge is a stretch goal for me some day.
Yeah ❤
I love you, man
holy banger video
Sick as bro 🙏
That was dope!
This had a nice vibe. You would absolutely love an album by Thomas Fehlman, called Gute Luft. Try it out if you haven't already!
Alles, Immer is such an amazing song
@@zsteinkamp Agreed!!!
He's a huge inspiration
Love this Jeremy! Can you elaborate a bit more how you’re using the octatrack to make scenes here? Thanks for all u do!
The scenes in Octatrack let you lock parameters so I can lock a filter up or down or a reverb up or something like that to create a transitional mood and then use the fader to transition there and back.
32 bar risers/fx track is a grade a pro tip! Thanks!

It's normal headphones with a sure headset slapped underneath
I wish the OLED screen was a thing when I had my deluge. My brain didn't work well with the 7-segment screen. :(
Perfekt 😊

Always be ok to say hi
A new video from Mr. McRecording!!!
Great content, Redmond MacGyver Recording (if that’s truly your real name)
Lollll
Love my Deluge. It’s au absolute monster machine. Not sure I would have bothered to use another device for the bass tbh. Easier just to slam them down on the Deluge.
I use an external device so I can manipulate it's controls live
This video makes me want to buy... a.... diet coke. Nice vibe dude!
Refreshing

Google "deluge retrofit"
@@RedMeansRecording thank you Jeremy!
What is that artwork??? (the painting, no the photo)
Search for 303 plaugebearer on Etsy?
What is the video playing on your iPad?
Some 10 hour synth wave visual thing from UA-cam
The Deluge is $1,400 now????? Holy crap.
+ tax + shipping :)
Still worth it
wait can you send them in for an upgrade? me confused ;)
Yes.
@@RedMeansRecording :O
Push 3 looking sketchy
*NED* Rush? Does he have a consistent collaborator named Noptical lol?
Haha
