Deluge

Pros

• The Deluge is perfect for this.
• ngl that deluge is a game changer for real man makin music is way more fun now
• Agreed on the Deluge, it’s everything I want in a format that really makes sense
• Deluge. I write everything on it, use it as my main brain for a eurorack setup, sample other gear with it, and love how it has grown with community firmware.
• Deluge ticks all the boxes. As usual. It has everything and the kitchen sink.

Cons

• I had wanted to merge the Deluge and offboard synth gear into my looping rig, but it just became too much
• Spending a grand or more on a Deluge or Op-1 to solve the defined problem, to the extent to which you seem to have thought about it, seems like overkill.
• Okay, this looks interesting, and substantially cheaper than the Deluge, for example.
• Didn't like deluge, just a mess. Nothing makes any sense.
