DelugeHub

All-in-One SD Card Manager for the Synthstrom Deluge

DelugeHub is a desktop application for managing the SD card of the Synthstrom Deluge synthesizer. It lets you browse, edit, rename and export songs, kits, synths and samples — all from your computer, with a non-destructive staging system that only writes changes to disk when you say so.
