1.1 How to Use This Manual
This book is a formal reference to the Deluge, bringing together a comprehensive guide along with
your own notes. Some pages are intentionally left blank and may contain wide margins enabling you
to make your own notes on the specic topics covered.
The conventions used in this guide are:-
(OUTPUT LEVEL)
Curved parentheses / brackets represent the context sensitive rotaries indicated on Deluge in black
or gold colour. These controls adjust parameters based on the specic context. The upper control
for the parameters is referred to as (UPPER) likewise for lower control. Commands such as rotate -
TURN or press - PRESS will accompany the command within the instructions.
[LEVEL / PAN] or [GRID]
Square parentheses and standard text contain functions that are selectable by the circular buttons
on the upper control area. Grid buttons are shown with italic font within square parenthesis.
[SHIFT] + [BROWSE]
Functions which require multiple button selections simultaneously are shown with a + symbol
between each button command. Some functions operate with a SHIFT button. These as labelled on
the Deluge faceplate within a ‘box’ and are located under the primary function label or when
representing a shortcut on the grid:-
Where multiple labels are attached to a control for the primary or the [SHIFT] + secondary function,
only the command name / label relevant to the context of the instruction will be used, for example
SAVE or DELETE.
