A question for the UK based owners, how much did you pay on top in import duties?
deja vuā¦
somewhere on another forum this same discussion is happening.
one persons response was Ā£815 inc shipping etc.
so something around that ,depending on exchange rate i guess.
i think deluge bumped up their prices recently as well. someone on gearslutz quoted Ā£810 all included but that was before the price bump.https://www.gearslutz.com/board/showpost.php?p=13303017&postcount=345

How is the sampling/resampling workflow and how easy it is handle this without a screen?
Just ordered one yesterday. Couldnāt resist and wait for a second hand unit.
Canāt wait to jam in the countryside/forest/seaside with a small battery-powered setup this summer. Still thinking about the best battery-powered speaker system. Maybe Teufel airā¦
For Germany itās 3.9% + 19% of the items value. Shipping costs are calculated into the value.

Iām about there myself. Iām planning on placing an order myself once I finish this program Iām working on! It looks exactly what I wanted it to be from the Electribe but fresher sounding and more direct sound design(not to mention arranging with that thing looks like a dream).
My hope is to be able to develop a workflow with that thing while laying in bed, sequencing all the music- and then probably switch the instrument tracks to midi tracks and opt to redo the song with VSTs.
Definitely keep the forum updated on your experience with it!
Itās very immediate. It doesnāt have audio threshold, but you can start and end the sampler either manually, or by sync where it then starts and stops on a perfect beat.
So to get perfect loops is no problem with the Deluge. Trimming is a bit of a chore, though, the display isnāt all that, for that purpose. Youāre gonna have to trust your ear, if you want perfect cuts and donāt sync your sampling for whatever reason.
But all in all, the Deluge has a bunch of short cuts and assumptions on the sampling workflow that really helps, including slicing. Itās rudimentary, but most of the time, thatās all you need. Sample a synced loop. Slice it. The Deluge assigns those slices to individual files, which you can then easily access and map to pads and tracks.

Is it intuitive to copy an instrument track to midi.
Like, say I was to compose on the Deluge, but I want the final product to be softsynths sequenced with the Deluge.
Would this be an easy process?

You can freely change track types between kit (drums/samples per row), synth and midi. So yes, you can use synth track with deluge and then change to midi track to sequence a vst later.

Brilliant! Thanks!
Does the Deluge export midi tracks via its SD card?
Thinking along @Ryanās point of view that itād be cool to work away on this then export midi tracks into a daw for vsts rather than sequencing them from the unit.

The manual doesnāt currently appear to have any export option, so I doubt midi can currently be exported into files
If you have Ableton, I think you should be able to sample each track individually- you can drag those samples into Ableton and convert them to midi tracks?
Perhaps it will get added later?

Abletons audio to midi convertor is a little ropey but you do get some surprising results at times. I guess you could sequence midi and live record that over up to 16 tracks after youāve built your sequence/song

Is there a crossfade option when looping sample ?
Oh! It looks like you CAN store your songs and information in the SD card! Not just samples/OS updates!
So, Iām also curious how the format of the song/music files is and how you can integrate that in your DAW.
That could be REALLY cool!
@andreasroman from the SD do you have access to the midi files from the SD and can you use that midi data in your DAW?

Most likely. The Deluge is based around an xml-structure, and all files I ever used were right there, even editable in a text editor.
But I never used midi files, so I canāt say for sure.

Tu be fair, they seem like the sort of guys that would implement something like this if it isnāt present and was requested!
Must. Resist. GAS.

I had a couple of impulse waves to say āto hell with itā and ordered one.
Need a better job first. Damn having credit- temptation is always applicable!
