DaveSmith Instruments description:
Tempest is a professional drum machine that generates its sounds using sixpowerful analog synthesis voices. It runs an innovative, performance-orientedoperating system that permits an extraordinary level of control to create, edit,arrange, and manipulate beats and sounds in real time without ever stopping play.We like to think of Tempest not just as a drum machine but rather as a new musical instrument for the real-time performance of beat-oriented music.
Here is a summary of some of Tempests innovative features:
Complex and rich analog voice structure: two analog oscillators withsub-oscillator, plus two digital oscillators (with a large bank of includedsamples), lowpass filter with audio-rate modulation, highpass filter, VCAwith feedback, five envelopes, two LFOs, and eight flexible modulationpaths. Though optimized for drum sounds, it excels at tuned sounds as well,and even doubles as a 6-voice analog keyboard synth. In addition to the sixdirect voice outputs, there are stereo mix outputs and phones outputs, plustwo inputs for foot switches or expression pedals, MIDI in/out, and USB.
The performance-oriented operating system, ninety panel controls, andgraphic OLED display work together to provide a tightly integrated, fast,non-stop workflow in which nearly all creation, editing, arrangement, andmanipulation operations occur in real-time without stopping play. A highpriority was given to producing the highest quality human feel, includingthe ability to adjust swing timing in real time on playback.
Sixteen pressure- and velocity-sensitive lit pads are arranged in a 2x8configuration, providing easy access to all fingers and providing the idealcompromise between the popular 4×4 and 1×16 arrangements for both realtime and step programming. The pads can be used to play sixteen drumbeats, sixteen sounds (for each of two banks), sixteen sound mutes, sixteenvelocity levels, or sixteen time steps (for step programming). The Rollbutton permits creating drum rolls or repeated groove patterns by varyingpad pressure during record, and doubles as a momentary stutter effectwhen the pads are assigned to play beats.
Two pressure- and position-sensitive Real Time FX slide controllers permitreal-time recording of note or beat-wide sound parameter changes into thedrumbeat as you play. Real-time effects include stereo analog distortionand compression, plus audio delay and beat stutter, both produced in thesequencer in order to maintain the pure analog signal path.
