The Synthstrom Deluge is an all-in-one, stand-alone, portable synthesiser, sequencer and sampler designed for the creation, performance and improvisation of electronic music.
Features
Synthesiser
- Full-featured internal synthesizer engine (subtractive, wavetable and FM)
- Polyphony limited only by CPU. Up to 64 synth voices may play simultaneously
- Live adjustment of synth and effect parameters with two endless-turn encoders with LED level-meters
- Easy buttons to select the functions these control Parameter automation recording
- Full MPE support for connected MIDI controllers. MPE expression can control most parameters
Arpeggiator
- Dedicated volume and tempo knobs
- LFOs and envelopes on each synth / sample. Highly customisable modulation matrix
- Synthesiser engine features LPF / HPF, FM, portamento, oscillator sync, ring modulation, unison detune, and more
- Four basic digital waveforms, two analog-modeled waveforms, or select any WAV file from SD card
- 12dB/oct and 24dB/oct filters, with optional filter drive mode
- FX including delay, reverb, chorus, flanger, phaser, bitcrusher, sidechain effect, live stutter, and more
- Keyboard mode, where the pads become a live instrument on a 2D grid
- Preset or custom scales, or chromatic mode
- Live processing of the audio input including polyphonic pitch shifting (according to sequenced notes), filters, and all FX
Sequencer
- Piano-roll-style sequencing on 128 full RGB pads (16×8) with scrolling and zooming
- Launch, mute and interact with tracks live
- Arranger view, to sequence your instrument parts into a longer composition, and work with audio clips similarly to a DAW
- Euclidean sequencing available, per row / sound.
- Sequencing limited only by device RAM (over 2 million notes)
- Resolution can be set as high as 6144th-notes
- Simultaneously output separate sequences to all 16 MIDI channels, 2 CV / gate channels and 2 additional gate outputs, in addition to internal synthesisers / samples (limited only by CPU) CC control and sequencing on all 16 MIDI channels
- MPE support – can record and play back MPE data from external sources, as well as internal synthesiser MPE features
- Probability and iteration based step / note conditions
- Undo / redo note and parameter automation editing and recording. Number of undo steps limited only by RAM
- Advanced syncing capabilities. Non-standard time signatures supported, polymetric
- Adjustable swing
- Horizontal pattern shift and note nudge, and note repeat
- MIDI program change and bank select messages may be output
Sampler
- Streams all samples directly from SD card, without limitations based on RAM size
- Up to 90 unaffected sample voices may play simultaneously
- Multisampling. Fast folder import with automatic pitch detection
- Time-stretching and pitch-shifting
- High quality sample interpolation and rate conversion via 16-point windowed sinc
- Waveform view on main pads, with scrolling, zooming, and loop point editing
- Same filters, modulation matrix and FX as synth engine
- Resampling
- Slicer feature for cutting a sample into evenly sized slices
Audio Clips And Looping
- Live looping of audio and instrument / MIDI clips, including easy overdubbing / layering, and automatic tempo setting
- Audio clip live looping includes option to record additional audio “margins” either side of loop (from before you even pressed record), to allow a brief crossfade to eliminate click at loop point
Connectivity
- Two ¼” line outputs, and 3.5mm headphone output
- 3.5mm mic input, ¼” line input, and built-in microphone
- 2x CV outputs. 0 – 10V, individually configurable to between 0.01 and 2.00 volts per octave, or to hertz-per-volt
- 4x gate / trigger outputs individually configurable to v-trig or s-trig, with shared voltage switchable between 5V and 12V
- Trigger clock output, configurable up to 192 PPQN
- Trigger clock input, also with adjustable PPQN
- MIDI input and output via hardware connectors or USB. Syncing via MIDI beat clock as leader or follower. Optimised for very low jitter
- Powered via USB B (cable included) or 9 – 12V centre-negative (pedal-style) power supply (500mA) (not included)
- Can host USB MIDI devices via B-to-B cable – up to 4 if using a USB hub. Only powers these devices when powered by 9 – 12V supply
- User-upgradeable firmware – development is ongoing at Synthstrom Audible
- Internal speaker
- Rechargeable Li-ion battery (6+ hours of operation)
- 1 x SD slot (1x 32GB V10-speed SD card supplied)
Includes custom case.
