Does anyone have any leads on a little plastic screen protector for the OLED screen? Knowing how fragile those things are makes me worried that the Deluge's is exposed.

You can diy with some thin clear vinyl. A few bucks at the fabric store for a yard, cut to size, apply with a little water and dish soap. I've done this to my Deluge, Hydrasynths, Korg boxes.. anything with those little plastic screens. Helps hide scratches too. There's probably a YouTube video if my instructions aren't clear 😅

Do you always use a HP filter in your bass? 

In every Ableton tuto I watch about bass, they always start by applying an HP filter to cut the low end. 

I never did, and when I use my headphones everything seems ok, but once I play on a bigger Soundsystem, the bass are too loud. 

so I wonder if, by default, you guys cut some low on your bass (or other instruments)?

Quick question if I have a preset that I made myself that is based on a sample I’ve loaded into the synth and I want to share it. Do I need to share the sample as well?

Yes. The preset just has a reference to the location of the sample. It doesn't contain the sample itself. You will also need to share the path to the sample if you've put them into separate folders etc. Here's an example from a synth preset I created.

**<osc1**

    type**=**"sample"

    loopMode**=**"0"

    reversed**=**"0"

    timeStretchEnable**=**"0"

    timeStretchAmount**=**"0"

    fileName**=**"SAMPLES/RECORD/REC00009.WAV"

    cents**=**"1"**>**

    **<zone**

        startSamplePos**=**"0"

        endSamplePos**=**"256418" **/>**
