Ion deluge2/16/2024 I don’t think I’ll ever be going back to the Octa again. I’ve been an Octatrack user for years, but the Deluge has taken its place now. I had a go with the Octatrack MKII when it came out, and a few rounds with it at Elektron HQ as well. Rohan & Ian are lovely guys to deal with and the Deluge concept (in particular the sequencer) is next level, just flawed by hardware limitations IMO, YMMV. If/when Synthstrom make a Deluge MK2 with an OLED screen and multiple outputs, I would consider buying it. While it was away for repair, decided to sell it. It was fixed under warranty (at no cost), but this made learning/using it frustrating and annoying. my unit had a screen issue on arrival characters would flicker or elements would not work at all (randomly).the synth sound/fx just wasn’t for me a bit flat (as mentioned).stereo output meant everything has to be mixed on board (see point 1).tiny screen made everything a chore too cryptic, especially when selecting/editing samples.Ultimately, four things were the crux of why I decided to not keep it: Just my experience, I would still recommend others to consider it as it is a pretty unique instrument… Just didn’t gel with the Deluge as hoped. But samplemangling was awesome on that thing.īought one of the first batch (unseen/heard in the flesh), a gamble which I was happy taking. I’m gonna miss that crossfader so bad, maybe I will buy it back later (if I win the lottery) but I really didn’t like the effects on the OT. It was hard to let the OT go, I am a long time OT user and thought I never get rid of it. I had the OT MK2, but there was too much overlap and decided to keep the deluge and the DT, because of its footprint and better effects. What I dislike about the Deluge is its CPU power. What I dislike about the DT is that you can not apply send effects to the audio in. What I really like of the deluge is the synth engine and the visibility of your sequence. What I really like on the DT is of course Trig conditions, probability, but also the visability on the sound you sample. I think different about that then Allright they are both samplers but you can never have enough sample tracks right I often think to buy a midi to cv unit to sequence my modular with the digitakt because the DT has got Trig conditions. So to free up cpu on the Deluge I use the DT for drums and lush pads. I sequence my modular with the deluge and do some heavily audio in (from my modular) effects and some synths But I hit the CPU wall on the deluge pretty fast. Otherwise it’s just fooling around with parameter locks and CTRL-AL for days! But I generally use it to build loops which I then sample into the MPC when I want to get something serious done with them. I do own a Digitakt as well, and I love it. So yeah, I think the MPC Live and Deluge go well together. It’s utter madness! And the filter section seems lifted from the Ion/Micron/MiniAK series and sounds quite good. Basically if you load up single cycle waves you can have up to 512 sample-based oscillators. With keygroup programs on the Live it’s also a killer synth. ![]() ![]() (I also use the MPC to create sample chains for the OT which it can communicate with via USB) (more detailed sample editing, preparation, etc.) Saves me a trip to the computer quite a lot. I like the MPC for it’s pads, workflow, touch screen, and the fact that I can use it to manage the contents of Deluge’s SD card to some extent. The MPC and Deluge complement each other very well. But it's definitely not Gen 4 list, considering Donphan has Bulldoze, which is a move introduced in Gen 5.įlabebe (#669) already has access to Moonblast.I’m using my Deluge along with a MPC Live with the pair going into an Octatrack for looping/slicing/etc. Crobat (#169) already has OR/AS level-up move list.ĭonphan (#232) already has X/Y level-up move list, although why it's X/Y and not OR/AS, I don't know. Azumarill (#184) has Play Rough, while Lanturn (#171) has Eerie Impulse. Not all of the first 200, otherwise Ampharos (#181) would already have access to Cotton Guard via level-up and Ion Deluge and Magnetic Flux via move relearner, while Sunflora (#192) would already have access to Flower Shield via move relearner.īut yes, you're right that a few Johto pokes are already updated. 170072 Not entirely true The first 200 Pokemon in the Dex have been built upon Gen6 Movepool.
