To Export from one Tempest (master) to Another (slave) over MIDI:
1. Connect MIDI out on the master to MIDI in on the slave. (Tempest is
incapable of acting as a USB host, so transfers must be done using a MIDI
cable.)
• If exporting a Sound from RAM, put both Tempests into 16 SoundS mode,
tap a pad on the master to select the source Sound, and tap a pad on the
slave to choose the destination.
• If exporting a Beat from RAM, put both Tempests into 16 BeatS mode, tap
a pad on the master to select the source Beat, and tap a pad on the slave to
choose the destination.
• If exporting a Project from RAM, put both Tempests into 16 BeatS mode.
Since there is only one Project in RAM at a time, there is no source or desti-
nation to select.
2. On the master, press Save/load and choose Export Sound/Beat/Project in
RAM over MIDI or Export Saved File over MIDI (Sound/Beat/Project)
to transfer the data. The slave does not need to be enabled to receive the
transfer. Just press exPoRt now when ready. Exports from RAM load into
