75 Tempest Operation Manual System Settings
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. If you wish to use the
Project’s distortion setting (so that the distortion amount stays the same regard-
less of which Beat is playing), choose Project (factory default). If you wish the
distortion setting to always reflect the position of the Distortion knob, choose Pot
Position. 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.
System: UI Preferences
1 . Solo/Mute behavior: Seq+Live, Seq Only—
In
Seq
+
live
mode, Solo and
Mute functions always affect a pad that is physically pressed (as well as any
sequenced data for its associated sound). In
Seq only
mode, Solo and Mute func-
tions affect only sequenced data, allowing you to trigger a sound when a pad is
physically pressed.
2 . Sounds slider mode: Step, Realtime—
In
SteP
mode, note FX data input
from Tempest’s Sound Sliders is recorded per step. This does not allow for auto-
mating effects such as smooth filter sweeps. In
Realtime
mode, the two sound
sliders affect Note FX for a sound in realtime during performance. While note
FX data is still recorded in step format when sequencing, this allows you to add
non-stepped, fluid, realtime control during live performance.
3 . Touch Slider Latch Mode: Active Only, All—
When set to Active Only
(the default) and l
atCh
o
n
is active, the latched slider value is reset to 0 when
switching between FX1 and FX3, playing another pad, or switching between 16
S
oundS
and 16 B
eatS
modes. FX2 and FX4 behave similarly.
When set to All and l
atCh
o
n
is active, the slider values stay latched for a given
Sound, even when switching among FX1, FX2, FX3, and FX4, playing other
pads/Sounds, or switching between 16 S
oundS
and 16 B
eatS
. Turning latch off
resets all latched values to 0.
For details about the touch sliders, see “Real Time FX” on page 35.
4 . Latch Button behavior: Normal, Shift Switched, Disabled—
In Normal
mode, the touch slider remains at the last value when l
atCh
o
n
is active.
In Shift S witched mode, the un-shifted and shifted behaviors are swapped. That
is, the l
atCh
o
n
buttons now switch between FX1 and FX3 or FX2 and FX4.
S
hift
+ l
atCh
o
n
turns latch on and off.
