Deluge 3.0 Firmware Feature Tease: QWERTY Keyboard

A tease of one of the features coming in Deluge Firmware Update 3.0, due 2019. You can read more about the upcoming update at the link below:

Brilliant! This is one of the primary reasons I bought a Deluge - continuous improvements!

[modularmountain]

Awesome! Looking forward to this. Best wishes to all of you in NZ. I was really touched by your statement too.

I am speechless. Synthstrom is the f%$#ing Nostradamus of feature requests. My intention was also to translate midi to keystrokes for an external box, but adding the layout and internal functionality is just absurd. 8x16 grid, sd streaming, full synth/sampling, and wood grain side panels running on a f%$#ing vape battery?! Shut up. Anyone with a clue should be pissing themselves for this box. Okay, I've calmed down. Prayers for New Zealand at this difficult time. I support their work.

Now we just need a graphic way to show where we are in the folders, something simple, like you go into a folder it shows to 2 lit leds, you go further in three, and back 2 and so on, maybe also in a vertical way, where you see the number of folders an you visually scroll through them and the names are shown in the LCD, but there’s also a graphical representation, this would help me alot! The rest is so dope! Loving my Deluge!

Terrific workflow improvement, thank you!

[jones]

Nice upgrade. It would be great if the grid could double up as a library for favourite presets/sounds. Like holding a certain key would load a custom library of sounds on each button to quickly audition and select.

[AndyTanguay]

Brilliant! I get to find out how well I actually know my typing. 😛

Much love to NZ

[LawrenHelder]

Yes! This will improve things drastically... It's like file management but better.

[mmartin]

Very cool. Please add an option for Dvorak keyboard layout.

[flomarin]

Aaah mind blown. again... wait what....WT ?! <3<3<3

[PiperBlush]

Excellent, just need a real screen to go with it :D if Deluge can have the OP-1 it would be the Syth to run them all

[girlinagale]

So anticipating being able to name my kit samples, bass, synth, vox, etc. I get a bit overwhelmed in Song mode trying to work out which track is which instrument.

[facelessmule]

You are a frigging genius, mate. I love the way the keyboard is highlighted and the definition of the SPACE/DELETE/ENTER keys. Can you also name MIDI and CV/GATE tracks like this (and GATE rows in kits) and will the name show up in the arranger?

[jones]

Please implement a proper pitch bend mode

[LarsDanielTerkelsen]

Seriously guys: If you could make a future version of Deluge with a pad surface like LinnStrument (MPE, velocity, per-pad-aftertouch) you would have THE powerhouse. Your pad layout is already basicly a LinnStrument (8 rows, multi-color backlit) but only lacking the enormous musical expressivity of MPE. Perhaps talk to Roger about it? I would buy it in an instant. 😁

This is so crazy it's like an April Fool's joke but it works!

[kieronmccarthy]

Fabulous work once again synthstrom.

I am interested in replacing the Deluge print on my hardware with the new querty print.

Have you got written instructions on how much work I will have to do to replace it?

I want to know whether it is within my skill capabilities to do it without too much problems.

[FrozenLonesome]

Terrific functionality improvement. Question about the magnetic overlay. How thick is it? Does it affect the smoothness of the pads?

[kardum_o]

An Amazing update... and - my prayers to the people of New Zeland :(

[bernhardbecker]

How will I get these Keys printed on my deluge, so that I can see which pad is which key? And will there be a qwertz-Design?
