Deluge - Precise Looping & Sampling (Metronome)

There are 2 ways the Deluge can record:
1. Freeform - see previous post on sampling.
2. Precise

This post covers the Precise method.
We need to engage the metronome. This will lock the BPM of the clip/track to the song tempo.
(Note: I'm using a older model Deluge where Track = Clip)

1. Setup your audio track as in the freeform method
    a. Press Song View button
    b. Set the track to Audio ( press any button of the active row + select knob)
    c. Adjust the clip length in Clip/Track View before recording a loop into that clip.
        Press & hold SHIFT + turn the LEFT/RIGHT KNOB.
    d. select input source (press LEARN + any button of the active row)
    e. press the select knob to confirm the input source.
    f. Arm the track (hold the record button to check arming state
         - flashing purple/red/etc launch button)

2. Press SHIFT + TAP TEMPO.
    This engages the metronome.  Adjust your tempo.

3. Start Recording.
    Press RECORD
    Press PLAY

4. The metronome will count 4 bars,  then recording will start.

5. Press MUTE/LAUNCH to stop recording.

6. Press PLAY

You can continue over dubbing loop upon loop.

Audio clips/tracks within the looper can have different lengths.
You can even have polyrhythms.
You can see & adjust the clip length in Clip/Track View before recording a loop into that clip.
Press & hold SHIFT + turn the LEFT/RIGHT KNOB.
Once we set the track/clip length, all other tracks will follow this.

If the loop sample doesn't fit the track then we can use time stretching.
Eg: What if the track/clip length is two bars, but the sample is less that two bars.
The Deluge can time stretch the sample to fit the clip length and the BPM of the song.

In Track/clip view we can see a representation of the waveform across the deluge's buttons.
We can zoom in and out to get a better look at the waveform by pressing down on the left-right knob
and rotating it.
We can use the same knob to move to the end point of the sample or to the end of the clip.
Press the last step in the sample to illluminate its endpoint.... look for the vertical red buttons.
Pressing a button to the left will move the end point. (It trims the waveform).

Note, the view in clip view is not the same as waveform view (though they look the same)
You can tell them apart by the colour.
Waveform view is always white.
Clip view takes the colour of the track/clip

I'm still new with the version 3 firmware so do let me know if there are any mistakes, omissions or errors.
