System Settings
Tempest
Distortion Source: Project, Beat, Pot Position—Each Beat has its own unique 
distortion setting but there is also a single distortion setting for the Project. If 
you wish to use the Beat’s setting (and have the distortion amount change when 
a different Beat is selected), set this to Beat (factory default). If you wish to 
use the Project’s distortion setting (so that the distortion amount stays the same 
regardless of which Beat is playing), choose Project. If you wish the distortion 
settingtoalwaysreectthepositionoftheDistortionknob,choosePotPosition.
Saving a Beat with Distortion Source set to Beat saves the Beat with the current 
distortion setting. Saving a Project with Distortion Source set to Project saves the 
Project with the current distortion setting.
