Besides the video at the top of the page, Synthstrom Audible has posted two more introductory videos but they apologise for the poor quality audio. They say that you can hear a cleaner output of the synth engine with the SoundCloud embed at the bottom of the page.

Video part 1 introduces you to "Track View", "Song View" and the Deluges scrolling and zooming, shows how you construct songs and introduces you to some of the sample playback features..

Video part 2 goes deep into the Sound Editor and patching matrix and explores the sampling capability of the Deluge.

Video part 3 brings a few other instruments into play and showcases the Deluges ability to play with others.
