A structured learning sprint taking you from zero to confident navigation, sequencing, sampling, and live performance — one focused week at a time.
Each week builds directly on the last. Complete the checklist at the end of each week before moving forward.
Get physically comfortable with the Deluge. Learn every button, knob, and I/O port. Understand how songs, clips, synths, and kits relate to each other — then save your first project.
Program your first drum patterns and basslines using step-sequencing. Shape sounds with the built-in synth engine — filter, envelope, oscillator — and build your first custom patch.
Load samples into kits, tune and edit start/end points, and record live notes into clips in real time. Understand quantization and clean up a live recording.
Build a complete 60–90 second song using Arranger View. Mute, solo, and launch clips live. Finish with a hands-on performance demo showing everything you have learned.
Each week is self-contained with curated resources, objectives, and a progress checklist.
Think of this as a personal tutor in website form. Each week is designed to fit into 3–4 hours of study time and follows the same structure.
Every sub-topic has 1–2 measurable goals. Know what "done" looks like before you start.
Curated videos and articles, each with estimated time. Always have your Deluge on and follow along.
Each week ends with a hands-on challenge. Do it on your Deluge — not just in your head.
Your progress is saved in your browser automatically. Come back anytime and pick up where you left off.
By the end of Week 4 you will be able to:
Week 1 takes about 3.5 hours. Pick up your Deluge, open the page, and follow along.
