Tempest Operation Manual

Save/Load

Save/Load

Pressing

ave

oad

presents a menu of functions related to saving or loading

files. Like a personal computer, Tempest has both random access memory (RAM)

and permanent non-volatile storage for saved Sounds, Beats, and Projects. The

current Sound, Beat, or Project is always loaded into RAM for playback and edit-

ing. Tempest uses flash memory for non-volatile storage.
It is important to understand the distinction between RAM and flash. As with

most PC-based software applications, edits to files in RAM must be saved to

flash to be recalled later. But, like most synthesizers, Tempest will not prompt

you to save changes when powering down or loading another file. It would be

pretty annoying if in the middle of a frenetic, knob-twisting, performance, a

prompt came up asking you to save changes every time you switched Beats or

loaded a file! But, while you are making beats and sounds, it’s good to get in

the habit of saving your work often and, occasionally, backing your work up via

MIDI.

Beats include all Sounds used in them and Projects include Beats, which, in turn,

include all Sounds in each of the Beats. See “Sounds, Beats, and Projects” on page 3

for a general explanation of the relationship between Sounds, Beats, and Projects

Project and Beat Compatibility with Older OS Versions

Tempest’s internal file format changed with OS version 1.4. This affects project

and beat compatibility with older versions of the OS.

Please be aware of the following:

• Projects and Beats made on a previous OS versions will load and play

correctly on OS 1.4.

• If Projects and Beats made on a pre-1.4 OS are modified and saved, or

exported from a Tempest with OS 1.4, they will not be compatible with a

Tempest with a pre-1.4 OS.

• If Projects and Beats made on a pre-1.4 OS are NOT modified and saved,

or exported from Tempest with OS 1.4, they will still be compatible with a

Tempest with a pre-1.4 OS (if you downgrade your Tempest OS to an older

version, for example).
