- How to Sample Synths Into the Deluge (Easy Tutorial)
Today I'm going to show you how to take an external synthesizer and sample it into the Deluge to use as a proper instrument in your music. For some reason, I couldn't really find a no frills basic tutorial for this anywhere on UA-cam, so I decided to make my own. If you have any extra info I missed, please let me know in a comment! Enjoy the video :)

Generally when setting up your loop points, you want to find what I think they refer to as a transient (don't know if it's the actual name). Basically a point in the wave form that hits zero. Probably would have to do a ton more zooming to find the best possible spots. Either way though, came out really well and thank you for making a tutorial that seemed somewhat simple to follow.
Pinneddddd
Deffinitly good advice, for music and SFX alike, thanks!
Note that the transient is the loudest bit at the very beginning of the note/sound. Ideally, you want to set the loop point to be the zero crossing (zero volume) spot just before the transient!
@@Cowboy-Ben-Alman hey, appreciate the correction here! I wasn’t sure of the exact terminology, so it’s good to get the accurate terms put in their right place.
unfortunately, a lot of times, I kinda need my hand held with these sorts of things. & fortunately, you have been thoughtful & thorough & patient enough to do exactly that. & it is greatly appreciated!! yaaay!! thank you!!
God, this channel is so under appreciated. I've had the deluge for about a year... I've made some fun tunes, but they've really only scratched the surface of the machines capabilities. This was a really useful video. Ive learned so much about the po Ko from here and can't wait to learn about this big boy via your videos!!!!
You really should put all the Deluge videos in a playlist I can binge on. These videos are a treasure trove of great tips!
Making and organizing playlists of my content is on my to do list, I promise haha. Thanks for watching!
@@FreeBeatwould sure be handy for deluge binge bud…one has landed in my lap….and you explains things the way I understand things. Thanks dude!😊☺️✌️➕❤️🎧
I concur with all the things said in this little sub-thread.
but still no deluge playlist. dangit!!
Great tutorial, love the deluge and how easy it makes these things
I found this video both helpful and entertaining. Thanks!
I'm so glad you did, thanks for watching!
Perfect compact instruction, so interesting that i never noticed it was over 9 minutes.....will check out more from you!
Thank you so much!
Perfectly done!
Nice! Had to e deluge for 2 years now along with a bunch of external synths. Never recorded in and always run them via midi. Super excited to make standalone synths on the deluge! Thanks for this!
Absolutely, it's a lot of fun!
@@FreeBeat just got one of my fav Take 5 patches in following along with your vid. Thank you!
Good stuff as always my dude! Really glad you're liking the Deluge so far :)
Thanks so much!
Thanks. Straight to the point and very understandable 🥳💫
Thanks so much for watching!
So good! Thank you for another super concise tutorial. One thing I discovered - instead of doing AUDITION + LOAD to get the RECORD pad to flash, you can directly do SHIFT + RECORD PAD, then SHIFT + RECORD PAD again to start recording. I find it easier than remembering AUDITION + LOAD, which is particularly unintuitive for me.
Very helpful, thanks!
Thank you so much, I appreciate it! Any and all support goes right back into the channel ❤️
Much much appreciated. Merci mon ami.
Thank you so much!
Fab. Cheers. Lee
Binging the Deluge videos I see hahaha
Great tutorial.
Thanks so much!
Very helpful!
Thanks so much!
Going to sample my volcas, modal skulpt, and Ultranova tomorrow. The Deluge is such a beast.
It certainly is!
Nice video 💪
Thanks!
FYI - I'm back relearning because I forgot already... great resource you've got here!
LOL I come back to this video so much too!
@@FreeBeat hahaha absolutely!
So what about recording synth sounds that have effects on them? Is it better to turn the effects off?
Do you ever download like stems or one shots? There’s tons of really great ones from Spitfire, Orange, Gosthack etc… to save time and moving around a bunch of equipment I’ll put a few into Koalla and play with them in that but withe Deluge I think just a usb flash drive would work fine.
Honestly not really, I haven't looked into that side of music creation at all haha.
Mine just came back with static & I tried various sources (Ipad software with a techno app, Akai Pro Force samples etc). Am running 4.0 update. Not sure how to get round it. Deluge works great otherwise.
I got all the way to the save point, but when I hold synth and press save nothing happens.
Just ran into this. He says press synth then save. It is reversed, press save then synth
Amazing tuto. Thx !!!!
So you can sample only one note and all the notes will be generated from that one. I've tried it with my Bass Station 2 and it worked perfectly.
The, I don't understand what is multisamples. I thought we would have to record each notes one by one, but it seems like we didn't have to. Why so? What is te difference with multisampling ?
Thanks! Multisampling is a completely other process, I'll probably cover it eventually :) Thanks!
damn why they made it so complicated to sample they could have just had one more mode button next to synth, kit, midi, cv, called sample and then it gets its own mode with the normal record button and functionality... actually now I am sampling I see why they did it so you can sample into the two engines either one hits for kits or pitched across keyboard like synth... hmm still kinda fiddly ! But expected considering this box does everything in a very small space! Amazing beast I tried them all mpc one, roland mc 707, novation circuit tracks, I felt they all lacked sorely in different areas. This is such an innovation they took all the best ideas from competing products that are working well and combined into the Deluge love it
Yeah it's definitely more complicated that it feels like it should be haha. But still an awesome piece of gear. Thanks for watching!
@@FreeBeat actually getting used to my deluge and it's all making more sense
Dude, when I try this all i get is a lot of loud humming, and I can barely hear the sample I've just recorded. Any idea what this might be?
Is there a way to load samples (stems etc) from computer via USB?
I believe it has to be via the SD card.
Great clip but all I get is a static noise after trying an iPad with a synth sound I wanted & something off the Akai Pro Force - both ended up in static. Tried two different cables. I have the latest firmware so any advice would be great.
Same here. Have you found a way to sample it yet?
No sadly but I've got enough sounds & presets I can easily install on the thing plus there is an editor free for it too which is great which I'll look at it later. Just annoyed my model doesn't work the way this demo does & I have the latest firmware!
This helped a lot? Thank you, FB
Glad to help, thanks for watching!
These synths couldn’t have less understandable interfaces if they were lifted straight out of an alien 👽 crash site.
There's just so many features! Definitely worth it though, there's a lifetime of exploration and inspiration in the Deluge. Thanks for watching :)
@@FreeBeat thank you, I have many of the devices you use and always follow your tutorials to figure out how to use them. I don’t have the Deluge but definitely want one :0 thanks for the great instructional videos. 🙌
Sampling is one of the Deluge's weak points, from a workflow perspective, in my opinion. As I think I've said before, it's a Jack of all trades but not necessarily a master of all of them.
I'm beginning to quite enjoy the sampling, it's the naming, storage, and searching process that I'm not super keen on lol.
@@FreeBeat Yes, not the best but it is still a beast of a machine and that is why I call myself David DeLuge - it's the device that I made my first releasable singles on and my real name (David Cooper) is an existing artist's name 🤣😂.
