Synthstrom Deluge (Synth, drums, amazing sequencer, sampler and soon to be live looper in v3) was the choice for me when considering TE products. I almost bought a bunch of Pocket Operators, then I looked at the cost and decided to just pull the trigger on what I really wanted and got a Deluge. I love it, so much.
- rwmj 7y agoThe USP of the Deluge seems to be the isomorphic(?) chord keyboard. How did you find that to be? Was it easy to learn? I admit I would love one but the price puts me off.
- monkeynotes 7y agoPersonally the major selling point of the Deluge, and the reason I love it so much, is the sequencer. It's the most intuitive sequencer I've used and allows you to flow and work quickly. The scale note keyboard is good, but not all that playable, a LaunchPad might be better for doing similar but with aftertouch and bigger pads. That said, it's a very welcome feature and easy to use for coming up with ideas and staying in key. I am not a musician though, at all. I am rubbish at music, but the Deluge has helped me make smiles and dive into hours of sounds and beats I thought I'd never be able to make. I've spent time in Ableton and never got anything much out of mouse clicking, mostly just frustration with all the options and tedious input methods. With the Deluge I can turn it on and quickly lay down a simple chord progression, a drum beat, and make a bass line that satisfies. Then I twist filter knobs and mute tracks, and just jam on it for hours. Oh, and its battery powered, so I take it everywhere. It's just such a wonderful piece of technology. Easily worth every penny I spent on it.
- rwmj 7y agoThanks - I looked at a video of the sequencer, and it seems a lot like the Tenori-On (which I have).
