Hey, new user here from the Netherlands, I go under the name of “Dolleman” :hugs:

I had some troubles to get the E1 working with my Deluge, to be specific it’s the preset
“Deluge MIDI Follow” made by Sean Ditny.

The description was quite unclear for me, so I tried to reach out to Sean, somehow he isn’t a user/member of the E1 forum (underneath a screenshot of me trying to find Sean)

and there is my first problem/solution:

Each public preset, should be a thread on it’s own
In this way, other members can respond/react and most importantly ask questions, so that preset owner can clearify some things in order to make it run, users of the public preset can also let the uploader know if also works. (I would love to see a superlike button, I mean so gratefull Sean made it, and helped me out!)

Because Sean wasn’t a member ( I had to google Sean Ditny, and was lucky enough he was also active in a syntstrom Deluge Facebook group. By chatting back and forth he explained and helped me to get the E1 running with the Deluge (I had to peform many updates and steps, with weren’t mentioned in the E1 preset description.

I think we all would benefit, if there is a way I (or Sean) could react on the preset. So other people won’t have to struggle like I did. An open two-way communcation is the way to go imo.

extra wishes for the preset library

It would also be nice to see how many time’s a preset is donwloaded, for example just like Thingyverse (3D printing files)

And maybe also some credits/hearts that E1 users can give to the uploaders.
I think it’s strange that no one else mentioned this before? Can’t belief i’m the only one wishing for this basic forum option. Would love to read a reaction on this.

Cheers

I’m aware of the dedicated preset topic,

but there are currently two presset out there for the Deluge, and there isn’t a topic dedicated for the Deluge. I think it would make much more sense if this isnt’t seperated.

Ho @Dolleman ,

It’s a public forum so hard to enforce such thing. Moreover, once you copy someone’s preset to your own E1 , it becomes yours . The link to the original maker isn’t always there.

I’ve made a couple of presets myself, but wasn’t able to attend to the forum or work with the E1 this first half year. If you would have had to rely on me, it could have taken 6 months…

But don’t worry, thats where to beauty of such open source forum kicks in.

You’ll always find people on this forum willing to help even if they’re not the original makers

I understand, still, I think it makes much more sense, that you can a dialog, underneath the preset itself (possible or not, just an idea)

I started a Deluge thread myself, so that other people at least have a place to have some dedicated Deluge questions.

I hope it will never become the policy here to “rate” the shared E1 template. This community truly deserves better. Each preset represents someone’s effort to share their work regarding a piece of gear, a DAW, or something else.

Fair enough, it just that I wanted to express my gratitude to the guy who made it public that’s all, not sure what the best way is, but at least giving it an :heart: would make sense right?

Just here sharing my ideas

Well, I tend to mention in the description if I have modified an existing preset and who the creator is.
