with the 4.0, a very nice no frills wavetable synthesis engine (I was lucky to end up getting the instrument at this point - the WT side really opens up the sound sculpting possibilities for me),.sampler that kind of reminds me of something like S1000 or S2000 with some things taken out and then practically unlimited sample time + tempo-matched loops added,.2-op FM engine that could be from one of those desktop Yamaha boxes that looked like hi-tech answering machines,.
subtractive synth engine that reminds me of mid-late '80s lower end DCO polys (think Juno / Siel DK / Poly-61 etc.) in how it sounds and feels like,.The best explanation I’ve been able to think of about what the whole device feels like to me so far, is that it’s really like a lower end early '90s MIDI studio - first brought into modern age specs regarding memory / storage type things, and then magically shrunk into a small tightly integrated battery-powered box that weighs next to nothing and is fast and intuitive to use. Rather, I’m somewhat of a reverb freak and the one in Deluge is quite simple, but still manages to sound nice with right settings for everything I’ve thrown at it so far, so two thumbs up! After about two weeks of pretty intensive learning and listening, the verb feels sort of like everything else in Deluge so far: I wouldn’t buy it because of any specific single thing it does - but somehow it does all those single things, including reverb, well enough that there’s no need to replace anything with a “better” external device to get things sounding good.Īnd that isn’t meant to be a backhanded compliment.
