Welcome to, what is for now, the FINAL installment in The (unofficial) Deluge Video Manual, the series where I show you all I know about using the Synthstrom Deluge.
This one is structured a little differently to the others, and focuses on midi mapping external devices to the Deluge. Feel free to skip around to the part that suits your workflow the most.
Hopefully I'll get some modular gear one day and demonstrate the CV settings of the Deluge too, but for now, this is it folks. Thank you to everyone for tuning into this series, and stay tuned for my Deluge Workflow Guide series that will be coming out in the near future!
