[More]DAVE SMITH TEMPEST
some things for the Dave Smith + Roger Linn TEMPEST analog / hybride drum synth
Ableton Live
I like to use the TEMPEST in Ableton Live in his different modi:
- BEAT (switching between beats by MIDI notes)
- PAD (using pads / sounds by MIDI)
- Poly-SYNTH (using the TEMEPST as a nice 6 voice poly synth)
for these cases i have built different drum and synth racks.
you have to add or remove blue lines depending of your i/o connections / usage of the Tempest - means: if you use more or less / or other) configurations of his multi io.
Install
- load the TEMPEST hardware instruments into Live (i.e. by dragging each onto a new MIDI track).
- check and - if rerquired - select the proper MIDI device and channel for your TEMPEST in the external instrument
- save the hardware instrument by the floppy disc symbol on the hardware instrument (swap to the instrument / fx pane of the track if rerquired to see the instrument)
- load the TEMPEST drum /instrument rack into Live (i.e. by dragging it onto a new MIDI track)
- if you do not see the chain list of the rack, open the chain view
- go trough each chain list element by click and check the proper audio input settings at the hardware instrument at right (be aware that only the blue lines have audio inputs - all other have to be leaved with "no input")
