Mixer and Effects
A 32-input mixer permits unique
mix (volume, mute, solo, pan, delay
send, and delay on/off for each
sound) and effects settings (delay
time, delay feedback, distortion,
compression) for each Beat.
The Delay feature acts like a digital
audio delay but instead creates
additional delayed notes in order to
keep Tempest’s entire signal in the
analog domain.
You can change the mixer settings by adjusting the
controls in the Mixer section of the panel, or by
selecting
miXeR in the Screens section (pressing PadS
and SoundS together), which causes the Mixer screen
to appear.
Use the
Page uP and Page down keys to switch
between the four mixer screens below:
This screen adjusts
volume, Pan,
mute, and Solo for each sound pad.
This screen adjusts
delay amount
and delay on/off for each sound
pad. Note that sounds must be veloc-
ity-sensitive for the delayed notes to
have volumes other than full.
This screen adjusts
delay RePeatS
and delay time for the delay send
mix.
This screen shows the Beat’s settings
for the panel’s
diStoRtion and
ComPReSSion controls.
