Deluge Firmware 2.1 Out Now With Multisampling, Waveform View & More!

January 1, 2019 Synth Anatomy Hardware, News, Synthesizers 0

Synthstrom Audible has released today firmware update 2.1 for the Deluge groovebox. It features now multisampling, waveform view, support for 8-bit files, better CPU efficiency and much more! Again a big update for the Deluge in my opinion.

Deluge is our flagship product. Three years in the making, it is an all-in-one, stand-alone, portable synthesizer, sequencer and sampler designed for the creation, performance and improvisation of electronic music.

New In Synthstrom Audible 2.1

Sample Engine

multisampling
waveform view
AIFF file support, and wav file support extended to include 8-bit files
sample loop point support – UI, and import from tagged files
high quality 16-point windowed sinc interpolation now used for sample pitch adjustment / sample rate conversion
better quality pitch shifting and time stretching – also ~60% more efficient
automatic pitch detection and transposing of all samples loaded into “synth” instruments, including single-cycle waveforms

MIDI/Gate

greatly reduced jitter on MIDI, gate, and trigger-clock output, regardless of CPU load
when MIDI clock or trigger clock output is enabled, stopping all tracks and then starting one again no longer restarts the clock
can set to ignore MIDI clock input

Arranger

arrangement recording from live performance in song view
can now add / delete instruments, and learn MIDI input channels to them, directly in arranger
automation of “affect entire song” params, in arranger only

Media management

can import a whole folder of samples as a kit
collect media tool – copies all song’s samples to a folder for export
for certain sample params (POLYPHONY, MODE, REVERSE, SPEED, PITCH/SPEED), can now apply change to whole kit by holding affect-entire button

Plus

CPU efficiency improved another ~15% (on top of the 30 – 50% gained in V2.0)
horizontal scroll position numeric indication is now present in arranger, and has been changed everywhere to the more standard “bar.beat” format. The same numeric format is now shown when editing track length
settable defaults and randomness for tempo, swing, key and scale
multiplying a track now alters notes’ iteration dependence to keep the piece sounding the same where possible
sidechain and pitch are now adjustable at the “kit” level, using “affect-entire”
