Changing the Synthstrom Deluge 3.0 Panel

I'm glad I already took my Deluge apart before, because I knew what I was getting into when I ordered the new 3.0 layout as a panel instead of the overlay. But as long as you're careful and follow the instructions, changing the panel is pretty easy. Also, I made a quick overview of the label changes on the new panel. Enjoy, and don't ask if it's worth it.

This is truly a DIY synth. If they are offering changes like this to keep the device functional as they continue to develop. This is unheard of in the synth/groove box community.

Thank you!
This helped me get my Deluge cleaned out when the play & rec pad stopped functioning.

Good video, but 2:30 - encoders on a bare solid surface... makes baby Jebus cry :P Fure future reference try using a towel or something soft under it to even out the pressure points. ;)

Hi!
Do you or anyone knows if it is easy to change an encoder? I broked my Deluges Tempo encoder when I replaced my top panel to 3.0. Ordered a couple of encoders from Synthstrom. What do I need?

Thanks!

Hello,
off topic . sorry but...

do you still have Deluge ? And, do you stilla have Pyramid ?
They got the 4.0 firmware and now Deluge is a 90% complete daw in a box., thanks to his new features.

But still, control over grooveboxes and daws was always an issue. Expecially for hardwares, adfor who like me has many problem to feel performing his music.

I would love to ask you about Squarp Pyramid beaing used as a controller for deluge. I recently got there are few controllers that does a good job, but wjat about a sequencer controller?

YOu said, and I remember that Pyramid can run circles around Deluge. I got it, but it's not for me. I had pyramid and making a complete track ready to record is a nightmare.

I bought deluge as a SoundSource+Sequencer ( orthe oppisite order) , mainly for its capability to express SONG MODE in a real and unique way: Orizzontal .

So I am ok, and I bought even a keryboard to enjoy the chords from deluge, and truly going to buy a Novation Launchpad PROmk3 to have fun with launcing clips. BUT ...!! Pyramid

Can I use pyramid as slave to mainly :
1-SEQ ? Can I launch color groups with it ? I mean can you assign a color secontion per SEQ ?
2-TRACk - Can I on off tracks from TRACK mode and enjoy midi effects rom there ?
3 - STEP mode - Can create midi tracks on SEQ and record automations in to Deluge? Can we match the lenght of the patterns and record them togheter?
4 Live MOde .. Is it recording good from pyramid on Deluge ?


I feel like having both I can get deeper in details with pyramid and record all midi in to Deluge.
Also Pyramid can export midi files, so basically If I record midi patterns form deluge to pyramid, then I can export all the work on pc ?

Thanks for reading Oliver.

have a great time
