PSA for US customers

Nobody is really quite sure what is going to happen on April 2nd when Trump's “reciprocal tariffs” are implemented. There is a fair bit of confusion around his viewing of domestic taxes applied to imports. In NZ we have a blanket 15% tax on all products and services locally, this tax is then also applied at the border (like VAT). Some speculate that his administration will be matching these taxes and adding the same tax to NZ goods imported into the US.

Raised costs or not, the only thing you can expect is that from April 2nd there will likely be shipping delays into the US as local customs agencies try to grapple with the, no doubt, daily changing landscape on taxes. It is very likely that the confusion will lead to delays all across the board.

If you’re in the US and have been considering purchasing a Deluge, I’d suggest seriously considering purchasing on or before March 27th - that way you can avoid the potential mess that may, or may not happen.

So much pride in what the contributors to the open source have done.

At Superbooth 2024 we caught up with *Reza* from *Synthstrom Audible* who showed us some of the developments to the *Deluge* in the past 10 months since the ...

This year the Synthstrom booth at is being hosted by a handful of the amazing developers who have been working on the open-source firmware for the past ten months! Catch Katherine , Mark (.m.a) and Paul among others. It's beautiful how all these amazing people have come together. Not getting to meet with and thank these amazing developers in person is making this the first time I've (Ian) actually been sad to miss a tradeshow.

ONE YEAR OF OPEN SOURCE!
It's been a year since we announced the Deluge going open source and the development has blown away all possible expectations. An amazing array of incredibly talented developers have been volunteering their time and energy and turning the Deluge into an entirely new machine - the features and enhancements added in the just 10 months since we released the code is beyond belief. We couldn't be prouder watching how this community have shown how successful this avenue can be and we're sure other hardware manufacturers in the industry are taking note!

BEETHOVEN 1.1
The second big open source update (Beethoven) is currently in beta and very close to release, though already very stable - if you'd like to try out the beta or read the full changelog, head to https://synthstromaudible.github.io/DelugeFirmware/ and scroll down to 'Release 1.1 (Beethoven) Beta'.

RSKT takes a look through both the 1.0 (Amadeus) and 1.1 (Beethoven) updates in the video below

SUPERBOOTH 2024
To celebrate one year since we announced going open source, we are really proud to announce that Synthstrom Audible will NOT be at Superbooth this year, or will we?

Instead of a jetlagged, kebab-filled Ian losing his voice and being out of his depth as soon as talk turns to coding, there will be half a dozen of the developers who have been making the Deluge open-source software the talk of the industry, taking turns hosting a booth on our behalf! You’ll be able to see and hear the new features, hear what’s in development and perhaps what features might be coming in the future!

You’ll find the "Synthstrom Audible Deluge Community" at Z235 https://www.superbooth.com/en/floorplan.html?location=Z235

SUPERBOOTH 2024 WORKSHOP
If you’re heading to Superbooth you’ll also be able to head along to a workshop from some of the open source devs and find out more about the development, how the project has progressed and how to get involved! (if you wish)
