Tempest 4: beat me

[@schmittwilli]

If Roger Linn will implement the classic sounds of his early Linn drummachines it will rise up like a rocket.

[@limeyamos]

thank you, been looking for a tempest video with "boring, simple beats" that showcase the straight up rhythm potential.

[@polishbroadcast]

One of the best demos of the Tempest. Thanks for showing all the variety of sounds. Do want!

[@clubdeejay]

Thanks for making this "less crowded" demo. This puppy is shipping tomorrow and I can hardly wait any longer!

[@_fig.8]

damn, that is one delicious machine! thanks for taking the time to demo and post.

[@carsonday303]

great job demonstrating the unit!

[@qwikfikz]

yet ANOTHER shining example of why Dave Smith is A GOD AMONGST MERE MORTALS in the hardware synth/programming biz. as much fun as i had playing with Arturia's Spark, when i got my hands on Tempest, it just reinforced my confidence in the Poly Evolver that i traded my original Virus in for. Dave Smith has the most bland, common, boring name in music and yet EVERY SINGLE ONE OF HIS INSTRUMENTS is the EXACT OPPOSITE: delicious, unique, stimulating sounds that you simply CANNOT find anywhere else.

my xmas gift....

[@YariBeatsMedia]

Feelin the compressor quite good.

[@waxorganix]

and i would say the same about Roger Linn for drum synth/programmers... can't wait to get mine...

[@soundsubs]

@clubdeejay Well, some of the highs and some of the lows are missing, but its 90% there i'd say. i dont think people will complain about bass with the tempest, thats for sure. i think it REALLY helps that each drum sound is run thru a lopass and hipass filter.

[@fuckableteam]

holly shit what a rythm

[@d-v-f]

Awesome piece of kit if you don't need a kick drum, pair it with an Electribe 2, kick from that, awesome.

[@TundrahSounds]

My favourite synth

[@Zemael]

HI. Thanks for your video. I would like to know how it plays with your mopho keyboard, does it polychain? Thanks

[@dreamprobe]

Thanks :)

[@doctorbower1989]

Hey mate, can u get solid 909 style kicks of this bad boy? I.e. Stuff solid enough for geniune techno and house? Agree with the comment below about 80's sounds, but the last few minutes of this vid were a bit more in the department I'm looking for. Cheers, and great vid thanks.

[@shayeasy]

@M3sslah agreed, i haven't seen any demos of this thing doing big, analog sounding kicks. you'd think a $2000 machine could do that, considering what you can do with a $350 mbase 11.

[@phfrixion]

Nice demo! Cwejman S1 in the back?

[@M3sslah]

@shayeasy Yeah I mean you get an awesome Xbase 999 from jomox for 1100 euros then you can afford a DSI Tetra 4 on the side for the same price as the tempest, I would find that setup more appealing for now but maybe someone can show something better later.

[@clubdeejay]

How would you compare the uploaded audio vs what you heard from your monitors? (:

[@jamessanger]

....so what do you think... is this a fancy drum machine or is it something more than that... something special ?... can you do things on it that you can't do on anything else ?

[@M3sslah]

Hmm but really, how does the Tempest really sound because it's very unimpressing to use old 808 and 909 sounds I can hear them a mile away. Would be nice to hear a pure kickdrum from the tempest itself because I am yet to hear a really banging kickdrum but instead all this 80's inspired stuff, so can it actually do banging slamming thumpy kicks or what? Otherwise nice blips and blops but that wont get you the whole way.

[@CW2SCOGG]

give the guy a break, he will learn to kick something nice soon....

[@locutz]

with todays music this machine wouldn't be worth anything to me , maybe if i was a producer back in the day , yeah but nah

[@mihajlosinka8443]

well, some of us dont care about "todays" music

[@heinzstick8105]

your clueless locutz.

[@inf0tr8r]

thanks for the comedy relief Locutz M.. this is one of the most modern machines on the market still lol funny guy

[@locutz]

to each his own I guess

[@locutz]

***** I guess the other guys didnt understand when I said TO ME....... it wouldn't be worth anything but for vintage collectors it would be a steel of a deal to have one

[@BDukich]

what are you gay for dave smith?

[@SPAZZOID100]

Not impressed with this machine b
