THE MIDIUM® CURATOR'S NOTE: Tariff Update.

Cami: As seen since early 2025, import tariffs enacted by the current federal administration have affected the cost of doing business with companies based outside of the United States.  Unfortunately, those tariffs are assessed on the importer, resulting in a federal "tax" on the folks who buy products coming from international sources.  As of the writing of this curator's note (edited 5 November 2025), the tariff that the federal government added on top of pre-existing import duties on goods from New Zealand like the Synthstrom Deluge is 15%, and it has unfortunately affected the price we present to you.  To help mitigate some of that cost, we are absorbing some of the tariff to lessen the burden on you.  

Our previous price had to increase due to this tariff, all import duties, and associated logistical costs, but we are keeping it as low as we can.  It is part of our best effort to support Artists through these times while running The Midium®, as it is our small mom-and-pop synth boutique both owned and operated by the two of us: my wife Erin and me, with our 4-year-old daughter Wednesday at our side.  Please note that our price is still the lowest one listed as we keep our sale going for as long as possible.  

We hope that such wayward federal policies are sunsetted soon, as their effects are far-reaching and they impact every aspect of Americans' lives, as well as the lives of folks in other parts of the world who transact business with the United States.  If they are, we will readjust our price where possible.  Thank you for your patience and understanding, and please feel free to write or call us with any questions you might have.  We are here to help any way that we can.

  • Live adjustment of synth and effect parameters with two endless-turn encoders with LED level-meters
    • Easy buttons to select the functions these control
  • Parameter automation recording
  • Full MPE support for connected MIDI controllers. MPE expression can control most parameters
  • Arpeggiator
  • Dedicated volume and tempo knobs
  • LFOs and envelopes on each synth / sample. Highly customizable modulation matrix
  • Synthesizer engine features LPF / HPF, FM, portamento, oscillator sync, ring modulation, unison detune, and more
  • Four basic digital waveforms, two analog-modeled waveforms, or select any WAV file from SD card
  • 12dB/oct and 24dB/oct filters, with optional filter drive mode
  • FX including delay, reverb, chorus, flanger, phaser, bitcrusher, sidechain effect, live stutter, and more
  • Keyboard mode, where the pads become a live instrument on a 2D grid
  • Preset or custom scales, or chromatic mode
  • Live processing of the audio input including polyphonic pitch shifting (according to sequenced notes), filters, and all FX

SEQUENCER

  • Piano-roll-style sequencing on 128 full RGB pads (16×8) with scrolling and zooming
  • Launch, mute and interact with tracks live
  • Arranger view, to sequence your instrument parts into a longer composition, and work with audio clips similarly to a DAW
  • Euclidean sequencing available, per row / sound.
  • Sequencing limited only by device RAM (over 2 million notes)
  • Resolution can be set as high as 6144th-notes
  • Simultaneously output separate sequences to all 16 MIDI channels, 2 CV / gate channels and 2 additional gate outputs, in addition to internal synthesizers / samples (limited only by CPU)
  • CC control and sequencing on all 16 MIDI channels
  • MPE support – can record and play back MPE data from external sources, as well as internal synthesizer MPE features
  • Probability and iteration based step / note conditions
  • Undo / redo note and parameter automation editing and recording. Number of undo steps limited only by RAM
  • Advanced syncing capabilities. Non-standard time signatures supported, polymetric
  • Adjustable swing
  • Horizontal pattern shift and note nudge, and note repeat
  • MIDI program change and bank select messages may be output

AUDIO CLIPS AND LOOPING

  • Live looping of audio and instrument / MIDI clips, including easy overdubbing / layering, and automatic tempo setting

  • 3.5mm mic input, ¼” line input, and built-in microphone
  • 2x CV outputs. 0 – 10V, individually configurable to between 0.01 and 2.00 volts per octave, or to hertz-per-volt
  • 4x gate / trigger outputs individually configurable to v-trig or s-trig, with shared voltage switchable between 5V and 12V
    • Trigger clock output, configurable up to 192 PPQN
    • Trigger clock input, also with adjustable PPQN
  • MIDI input and output via hardware connectors or USB. Syncing via MIDI beat clock as leader or follower. Optimized for very low jitter
