NOTES 3.5 Note Characteristics
Several basic characteristics of notes can be changed in settings. These
include, velocity, note repeat, note length, quantization and note scales.
Some of these can be edited in the sequencer.
▌CHANGING A RECORDED SYNTH NOTE VELOCITY
1. After a pattern has been recorded, notes will be at a default velocity
level.
2. Press & hold one or more [PAD]’s for the note to change and turn
(SCROLL◄►).
3. The system default velocity is 64, however the velocity used on the last
note entry / edited will be applied to the next note entered.
4. Velocity will be displayed and its value.
▌SETTING A NOTE TO REPEAT
1. After a pattern has been recorded, notes will be trigger individually
2. Hold [PAD] + Press & turn (SCROLL▼▲). [PAD] is the note to repeat.
3. The value selected will determine the number of repeats to assign to
the selected note, positioned equally in the time interval of the pad.
Page 41
Velocity
Relates to how hard a key is pressed
and how this reects the volume of the
note. This captures organic and human
like recordings.
Deluge pads are not velocity sensitive. The default velocity is 64 but this
default level can be changed in the settings options under the defaults menu.
Velocity is also a
modulation source to apply
to other parameters as well
as volume parameter.

▌EDITING NOTES’ LENGTH
1. Note lengths can be set when entering clip notes by pressing the note
START [PAD] + END [PAD] on the same row. For kits, samples will
automatically map across the pads matching the sample length.
2. Reduce the note length by pressing one of the extension [PAD]’s to
shorten it.
3. To extend a note across grid views:-
• Press the [PAD] for the note start.
• Scroll to the next grid view ‘page’ using (SCROLL◄►). This would
be further in time from the original note.
• On the same row, press (SCROLL◄►) + [PAD] at the end position.
• The note will be extended across the ‘page’.
4. To create a note for the duration of the clip, for example as a pad or to
create a ‘drone’ note:-
• Press the [PAD] for the note start on the rst column (left position) of
the clip.
• On the same row, press (SCROLL◄►) + [PAD] at the last column
(right position).
• The note will be extended across the full clip.
• Deluge will ensure that these type of notes play continuously
through the clip and will loop. This is handled as a special case and
the note does not restart.

▌ADJUSTING A CLIPS HORIZONTAL NOTE EVENT POSITION
1. Press (SCROLL▼▲) + Turn (SCROLL◄►) control to adjust the clip
note events i.e. notes and automation horizontally across the grid.
• The note events will move 1 step incrementally across the horizontal
grid. The steps are based on the zoom level.
• Note events which scroll off the edge left or right will wrap back onto
the grid from the opposite side.
▌NUDGING INDIVIDUAL NOTES HORIZONTALLY
1. Hold [Pad] + Press and turn (SCROLL◄►) to nudge the selected [Pad]
note event forward or backwards, indicated by +/-values.
2. This will nudge at the songs minimum resolution, default is 384th notes.
▌COPYING / PASTING NOTE RANGE
1. Press [LEARN / INPUT] + press (SCROLL◄►) to copy the clips notes.
• This will copy the step range of notes in the current view on the grid
at the current scroll and zoom position.
• The time range of notes is what is copied including all notes out of
view above and below the pad range.
• Copy can be performed from one clip to another in the same or
different songs as well as within the same clip.
2. Select the new location for pasting the previously copied range. For
example extend the clip length or scroll to another part of the clip.
3. Press [SHIFT] + [LEARN / INPUT] + press (SCROLL◄►) to paste the
current clips notes:
• When pasting, the notes are pasted into the current view.
• If the destination view is transposed from the original copied location
the notes are pasted into the new transposed position.
• If only a part of the grid is selected as the destination, the notes for
the available columns are pasted and the rest discarded.
• Notes will be pasted into any new zoom levels where notes will be
stretched or reduced to meet the destination zoom view.

3.8 Navigating the Grid
Deluge has a 16 x 8 grid of pads which is used when sequencing notes and creating melodies and
patterns. The actual programming grid is not limited to the 16 x 8 pads in focus and on view.
Scrolling The Grid
Higher and lower notes (synth) or different samples (kit) can be scrolled up and down or longer time
sequences left / right are available. The focus area can be scrolled and zoomed across the pattern
real estate to suit your workow and area of interest.

Zooming The Grid
Zooming the grid also uses the scroll and zoom rotary control. Zooming is performed across the
horizontal timeline of the grid. The grid resolution will change to the zoom level selected and as
such may include more or less visible information. Zooming-in is possible from the 16th default to
128th notes.

Note / step detail is expanded or contracted. Moving from the default 16th view to 32nd view
will still be one bar but add more resolution detail effectively doubling the note / step detail
from the rst 8 columns of the 16th view across to the entire 16 columns in 32nd view.
Example: 32nd notes representing the zoomed grid.
