Tommy's First Look Tutorial on the Synthstrom Deluge

I've been wanting a Synthstrom Deluge synth for a while now, and the other day one popped up used at a low(er) price, so I grabbed it. I expected it to be fun, but it turned out to be a little more bad ass than I anticipated. In this video I do a quick overview of the basics of the unit as I know them so far. I'm learning the thing myself.

Hey man. I bought mine over a year ago. IT CHANGED everything for me. It's an astonishing machine - and it gets better with every update. Stick with it- there's SO much it can do. And very soon that small screen won't be a problem. Oh, and learn how to sample via the LINE IN or using the little mic - it's a BRILLIANT sampler! Trust me bro: you'll love it!

COOL buy and a musical asset ..I got mine a while back and it took me a while to understand it..., I am no expert in drum machines and synths ..this was my first jam box ...its a very unique powerful machine which evolves over time.

“Oh I made trap!” That shit was funny. Also man, you’re really good at these videos, especially if this is your first one. Please do more on the Deluge!

I will get into Song Arrangement mode and synth programming in another video.

Enjoy your deluge. Btw, you don't need to press audition+shift to access a shortcut, any1 of the two is enough.

Where do you get your drum samples from?
