  • Page 11: What's A Tempest

    What’s a Tempest? Tempest is a professional drum machine that generates its sounds using six powerful analog synthesis voices. It runs an innovative, performance-oriented operating 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 musi- cal instrument for the real-time performance of beat-oriented music.

    Sounds, Beats, and Projects There are three terms that are important to know: A Sound is a collection of all settings required to produce a drum or other type of sound when you play a pad, including settings for samples, oscillators, filters, VCA, envelopes, LFOs, and more.

  • Page 36 Oscillators Dave Smith Instruments...

  • Page 37: Oscillators

    Oscillators Tempest has four oscillators for each of its six voices. Oscillators 1 and 2 are digitally controlled analog oscillators or DCOs. “Digitally controlled” does not mean the audio is digitally generated, just that the oscillators’ frequencies are under digital—rather than voltage—control. The audio signal path is still completely analog.

  • Page 44: Amp

    Volume level can be set, or affected by modulation, at several points in the signal path, so clipping distortion may occur if the levels and/or modulation amounts are set high. If clipping is undesirable, simply turn the level and/or mod amount down until it stops clipping. Dave Smith Instruments...

  • Page 45: Envelopes

    Envelopes Tempest has five six- stage DAPDSR (delay/ attack/peak hold/decay/ sustain/release) envelope generators for each of its six voices. Two of the envelopes are “hard wired” to specific destinations: low-pass filter and amplifier (VCA). The P envelope uses All Oscillators as a default destination, but it itCh can be changed.
  • Page 46 Envelopes Destination: Off, mod destination 1, mod destination 2, …— 1, and a 2 are assignable to any of Tempest’s modulation destina- itCh tions. For a complete list, see “Modulation Destinations” on page 79. Envelopes Dave Smith Instruments...

  • Page 47: A Note About Envelope Shape

    A Note About Envelope Shape Like most synthesizers, Tempest’s envelopes are not linear, but curved. Without going into too much detail (or math), the curve is based on a logarithmic func- tion. But that curve—and, therefore, the envelope’s shape—can be altered with modulation.
  • Page 48 For example, for a beat in 4/4, an LFO set to a triangle wave and a rate of 16 Qrtr can modulate the filter frequency for a sweep that repeats every 4 bars, precisely. Envelopes Dave Smith Instruments...

  • Page 49: Lfo 1&2

    Free-Running LFOs By default, the wave cycles of Tempest’s two low frequency oscillators are restarted by a note on, beat, or play command. However, you can set the LFOs to be free running so that once triggered, the wave cycle continues without being restarted.

  • Page 50: Modulation Paths

    The modulation amount can be positive or negative, allowing for inverted control.

    Choke and Voice Assign Each of a Beat’s thirty-two Sounds can be choked by one of two other Sounds in the Beat. The most obvious use is to enable a pedaled or closed high-hat to choke off an open high-hat. To Set Choke for a Sound: 1.

    Beat-wide Parameters Normally the panel sound controls operate on a single sound. However, if Pad Function is set to 16 B , only eight of these controls are enabled and they eatS affect the playback of all sounds playing in the beat. These eight parameters are called Beat-wide parameters: The eight parameters are Oscillator Pitch, Lowpass Frequency, Lowpass Reso- nance, Audio Mod, Highpass Frequency, VCA Feedback, Envelope Attack and...
