For the last few years Rohan Hill, an engineer of the company, has been developing and constructing his new serious creation – Deluge. Hill is really excited with his own device and can’t wait till everyone gets a chance to play it. 10 copies of the instrument were given to the musicians from New Zealand who personally tested it and after shared with their thoughts on it – as a result Rohan Hill had to introduce some alterations to his design and the final version featured a couple of changes.
The interface of the instrument included 128 RGB pads; Deluge plays samples from SD card (up to 32GB SDHC) and works with up to 12 minutes (if mono) of CD-quality samples at once.
Among other specs there are:
- Subtractive and FM sound synthesis
- Sequencing is limited only by available RAM
- Polyphony is limited only by CPU; around 48 synth voices are available
- Advanced syncing capabilities; weird time signatures supported
- LFOs and envelopes on each sample
- Synthesizer engine features LPF / HPF, arpeggiator, portamento, oscillator sync, ring modulation, unison detune, and more; four basic waveforms
- FX: delay, reverb, chorus, flanger, phaser, sidechain effect, bitcrushing, live stutter, and more
- Keyboard mode where the pads become a live instrument
- Internal speaker, rechargeable Li-ion battery, and microphone
Dimensions: 305mm x 208mm x 46mm (12 x 8.2 x 1.8 inches)
