New #Faircamp Release: "Melody 1: Sunstorm Rainshine"

This is the new track off of my upcoming 'Well-Tempered Deluge' album. It arose from my efforts to learn Song Mode on the #Deluge.

This one has a nice 70s vibe without sounding too BoC-y. I kept the warbling to a minimum. LOL

@jonny Very cool. A couple months back, I resurrected an 8T NAS I'd slated for donation when I came across #sciop

So far I've been creating WARCs using zimit and #deluge for the torrent because the client/server is convenient for a headless unit.

Anyway, I'm giving this a try and it's grabbed 10G very quickly, which seems much faster than zimit. I'm not exactly sure how to turn this around into a torrent and get it up to Sci-Op, but I'll keep an eye on it and am happy to provide feedback.

@Lydie aaannndd.. we're back in business! I found an old NUC that wasn't in use, installed a fresh version of Linux, configured a new #deluge servier, and connected it to the store via NFS.

Now it's downloading a new one from #sciop and checking the integrity of some of the previous downloads. 2TB being hosted, 6 more to go before it's full.

New Advance Release: "Mathematical Arguments That Lead To Shouting"

A new addition to my album-in-progress: "The Well-Tempered Deluge".

Gear: Synthstrom Deluge.

This track is available now on #Faircamp, and exclusively on #Mastodon, in advance of its general release.

Composed completely on the #Deluge. That's no voice!

@Lydie Any thoughts/hints on the HW reqs to run multi-TB torrents?

backstory:
When I learned about #sciop in March, I resurrected an old 6TB array* I'd wiped and prepped for donation. I attached a spare RasPi3 to it, mounted via NFS and got to seeding. Fast forward to having ~2TB of active torrents, the #deluge server doesn't really respond, though i can SSH in just fine. I'm guessing the 1GB of memory isn't enough, but hadn't dealt with this before.

[*] A Buffalo terrastation that I didn't realize kept the OS on the drives, so by wiping them, I bricked it and had to find firmware in the Wayback Machine to get it going again, using a version meant for a different model, but eventually got it working! #ordeal.

The Synthstrom #Deluge has landed at Casa Nazgul!

This thing is *sleek* - even more portable than expected!

And it's *immediately* engrossing. Within minutes of firing it up I was dialing in some sequences and playing with the synth engines.

Latest community firmware installed, along with the 'Boards of Deluge' soundpack #1.

This is going to be a great buddy for the #Hydrasynth.

Let the games begin! 😁

#microtonal #ambient #music

SurgeXT synthesizer with a microtonal tuning "dakota-sun-24" applied and performed with the #deluge grid as a keyboard.

i made this last april, and listened to it today and it felt magical, like the powers of spring vibrating through the world.

please take 10 minutes and listen in a calm space if you have time. some passages feel dark and dissonant, but others are harmonies you won't often get from conventional equal tempered music

The #Squarp #Hapax has the concept of "Instrument Definitions", which allows you to drop a text file on the SD card that tells the Hapax how to talk to a specific external device: Which MIDI channel, define and label CCs/PCs, etc. And thus get rid of the hassle of having to set up everything from scratch for every external device in every project.

Does anyone who has a #Syntstrom #Deluge know whether there's a similar concept for that?

One of the absolutely coolest open source project I have come across recently was #synthstrom open-sourcing the OS of their music making machine, the Deluge. The #deluge / #synthstromdeluge is in my opinion still the best electronic music making machine there is.

Now there is a community firmware at github.com/SynthstromAudible/D, next to the official one and the ways they've built on the hardware platform is just incredible.

It's one of the best cases for #opensource I've yet to see and I feel like there are a lot of lessons to be learned from it. I'm not that qualified to comment on them, but I think it is interesting that the switch from closed to open source for this hardware platform happened quite late, after the Deluge had built a dedicated fanbase over years and was already a very solid machine. Also the company has stuck to the same hardware platform now forever, which is rare, but super cool.

I do not know how many Deluge/ #synth fans there are in the fedi, but I finally got to play around more in-depth with the new community firmware over the last couple of days and the new Grid view (Ableton inspired) is amazing.
