In Pads view, strike a pad to select a Sound and then turn the load Sound soft
knob clockwise to load the rst available Sound for the current Sound direc
-
tory. Continue scrolling through the list to audition different Sounds or use the
Sound diReCtoRy soft knob to change to a different directory of Sounds. Press the
ReveRt soft key to revert to the saved Sound.
revert is available until another pad is struck in 16 sounds mode. Pads can
be struck in any other Pad Function mode, but once another Sound pad is struck,
revert is unavailable. To return to the saved settings, reload the le. revert sound
always resets the sound to the last loaded or saved setting of it’s Beat.
Exporting Sounds, Beats, and Projects
Sounds, Beats, and Projects can be exported over MIDI to a computer applica-
tion or hardware device capable of recording SysEx data. Most modern MIDI
sequencers are capable of recording SysEx and there are standalone applications
like SysEx Librarian for Mac OS and MIDI-OX for Windows that make it very
easy to record, name, and store SysEx les. SysEx data can also be dumped
directly from one Tempest to another using a single MIDI cable.
Exporting directly from RAM or from saved les in ash memory yields slightly
different results. Sounds, Beats, and Projects exported from RAM contain no
information about their source or destination. If Sounds/Beats/Projects exported
from RAM are later imported, they are loaded into RAM and must be saved to
ash or they will be lost when power is cycled. Sounds/Beats/Projects exported
from saved les will import into ash in the same folder location from which
they were exported and do not need to be saved. But, they do need to be loaded
into RAM if you want to play them.
