SYNTHSTROM DELUGE - FAT SYNTH TRICKS
Вставка
- Опубліковано 7 лют 2025
- The Synthstrom Deluge has synth capabilities far deeper than you might imagine. The ability to use samples over waveforms, and control virtually all parameters remotely pushes the unit way beyond the presets.
I put together this quick rundown on what makes a fat synth sound, starting with some analog basics with a Behringer Model D and then some tricks to make the Deluge synth sound even fatter than the Boog.
If you want to skip the intro to what makes a fat synth sound using the Behringer, jump forward to 6.50.
The brand new Deluge Software Version 2.0 update is coming: forums.synthstr... - contains sampled analog oscillators and a new filter!
May the funk be with you.

Love your presentation! Would love to see more deluge tutorials.
I agree!
Another great video!
Just a bit of nit-picking: when comparing the raw oscillator output of the Behringer to the Deluge, you had both of the Deluge oscillators set to exactly the same pitch whereas you can hear on the Behringher that the three oscillators were ever so slightly out of tune with each other. You could've dialed in a bit of pitch offset on the Deluge (set a fractional amount of difference in the Transpose value of oscillator 2) and the sound would be a little close to the Behringer. Also you can use the multiply feature (add up to 7 detuned versions of the oscillator). All good tricks to beef up the raw sound.
Mr Wiggly No worries :)
I really liked your idea of sampling like that as an oscillator source. I'm always thinking in terms of sampling much smaller fragments and looping them (which works and you touched on) but I'd never thought that it's so easy to take advantage of the almost limitless space you have for sampling. A bit similar to the Static samples on the Octatrack but way more flexible in terms of using that as a polyphonic sound source.
extremely valuable information. I really appreciate your investment in the community. thank you very much!
Thanks for this detailed tutorial. So well done.
Great educational video! 👍
Just subscribed too!
I found your channel on Nick Batt’s “Sonic Talk”.
Nice and informative video! Thank you!
In terms of fat sounding synths I think it is also possible to resample an octave or two of Osc stacks, make a kit with them and make each “instrument” in this kit to have its own modulations and variations. I’m not at kits level with my deluge yet, but I think this is possible.
Only thing is, this approach is prone to chaotic results, if done without some restrictions.
Thanks for this video. Im a complete noob when it comes to understand synths and how their sounds work. This is really helpful. Im loving the synthstrom, looking forward to more videos hopefully.
Great way to program the Deluge, and you've also now programmed my brain to forever refer to the Behringer as a Moog haha. Useful and entertaining stuff, cheers!
Great vids!
Hope to see more Deluge tutorials.
Good stuff. Still more on the Deluge please 😀
Another great Deluge vid! Keep them coming, cheers!
As a deluge user I'm surprised with the elements I didn't realise were there.
You've shown me some ways to improve my work flow. I guess we all have set ways of working and this lead me to be stuck in my own little corner of deluge. Excellent videos,thank you, more please.
Very clear and informative! Thank you!
This was incredibly informative. Thank you for making this video. I'm still quite new to synths and an considering the Deluge. Your video was clear and easy to follow. Not to mention, it is inspiring. :-)
Just found your channel. Awesome! It just so happens my new deluge arrives Thursday. Question - did you use the deluge to create that bass sound in your intro?
Thanks man, useful video and good explanation about using an external keyboard to control the deluge.
I sampled your video of your déluge sampling your beringer.
Ah AH!
Brilliant! Can I sample you're track when you're done?
Again a great lesson, comprehensive and effective!
One thing that does not seem to work is loading samples to both oscillators...(Ver.2.0) but I think not as a bug about it: Two samples realtime played on a scale....there must be a limit..
I guess two oscillators with feed from Line In L and Line In R will not work neither by same reasons, have not tried yet...
I've used a different sample in each OSC of a synth on the Deluge without issues (albeit they were both short samples).
Great videos! Thanks
Thanks!!
Great video! You just made me click "Add to basket". ;)
Great tips! I have some fat analog notes of raw oscillators as samples already. I’ll have to try using them more. I mostly use external synths with the Deluge right now, but appreciate ways I can use this as a solo piece of gear too. Now it’s time to try out the new tips....see ya on the next vid
These videos are really great. HERE - TAKE MY SUB.
... pronounce Moog as in "vogue"... :) but you probably know that now!! Nice vid thank you!!
Yep - I always get it wrong! Thanks for watching :-)
@@Mr.Wiggly sorry for being nerdy on ya mate :)
Haha!
Hey mate, Have you got any tips for nice punchy bass? I am really struggling to get something that doesn't fade off at the end and sound wishy washy?
"you do run out of phatness" haha.
Unfortunately the Deluge outputs 44.1K/24 bit. I'm sure at 96K/24 bit it would sound much richer.
