    Thanks for watching! Apparently the section I had meant to include about older bootloaders didn't make this edit for some reason. If you're worried, I had the oldest possible bootloader (no number at all) and never had an issue, even while testing experimental firmware. The potential issue only applies to .bin files that are either 0 bytes (which shouldn't happen if the file downloaded correctly) or over 3.5MB (which also shouldn't happen). For what it's worth, my understanding is this bootloader issue is also present with official firmware and is more a concern for devs who will be installing a lot of different test firmwares. You can read more about it here: github.com/SynthstromAudible/DelugeFirmware/wiki/B… I used the info on that page to update mine and it was very easy.

    Related to the delay golden knobs, the upper knob when clicked cycles through Even notes, Triplets and Dotted. I use it all the time to change delay to dotted 😊
  • @krazywabbit
    thank you for the explanations. A great community to be a part of.
  • @TheLordcasio
    First off...thank you so much for showing the New Community Firmware WITH the old screen...a lot of us (who couldn't get in line for the screen-upgrade in time) have been worried. Consider being our "champion" and use a zoomed in camera (with settings that show the old screen in detail/contrast) for us to learn.
  • @bigbadrobbo
    Great video. I hope you do more when more releases of the Community firmware come out.
  • @postsolarpunk
    WOOOOOOOOOOOOOO I'll have to investigate different combinations of sync rates to my exploration list
  • @mike_qbik
    Excellent overview. Really dig your style how you presnt those changes. Thanks.
  • @adamoliver82
    I'll share one of my favourite smaller improvements. The y axis outputting mod wheel over midi means I can now automate the filter on my neutron, very cool.
  • @FrozenLonesome
    Excellent overview and very clear explanations. The sounds you chose and methodical way you went through the demos really helped me understand these new features. Subscribed and I look forward to seeing more!
  • @willswitchcraft
    such a great upload...........very well presented.........I think you'd be amazed and thrilled if you upgraded to the OLED - such a significant and powerful mod.................................
  • Fantastic overview! Ive installed the new firmware but haven’t had a chance to dive in yet. Super cool to see even these quality of life improvements. Cheers!
  • @jlamores
    Very nice overview of the new features! You explain everything very clearly and at a good pace, in my opinion. I liked this video a lot.
  • @seniorbeatbox
    nice run down, thank you.. i have yet to load the new firmware. i watched Ron C. demo the grid mode and it made my head hurt lol
  • @willswitchcraft
    really great upload.......masterful tutorial skills.........suggestion: If you lowered your ambient lighting in the room, it would be much easier for us to read the Deluge display
  • @girlinagale
    My Deluge is under the bed but I need to dust it off. It's og screen and has a dry joint on the mic so hisses and rumbles. I really want to sort it because it's now a super interesting device again.
  • @GKRGY_music
    Amazing video! Loved you focusing on QoL aspects. These could be easily integrated into the Official Firmware easy peasy. One note though, about installing the Community Firmware: I wish you had made it clear that having an old bootloader bricks the Deluge when attempting to install the Community Firmware. Perhaps a link in the descritpion? Or a note on video? Cheers! Keep up the good work!
  • @ShaighJosephson
    IT NEEDS A NEW HARDWARE INTERFACE !!! Three button function combinations is ridiculous...💥
  • Would be cool if random walk worked within a chosen chord. This would only allow musically sensible notes to be auto-played.
