I got mine last week. I ordered it in early March. I like it a lot.

[rodzeroher]

could you make a video using the tempest as a polyphonic synth (pads, chords)? thx :D

[dep1001]

Great to finally see/hear a new Tempest demo! Please keep 'em comin'! Thanks

Great demo, thank you.

How do you find the classic linn samples (lm-1 or linndrum) ?! I've identified the lm-1 clap -;) does it have a super tight midi timing and groove ? Thank you ! Isham

Thanks for the demo, I love Linn & Smith's demonstrations but you can never get a proper idea for a machine until you see it demonstrated by a separate party entirely. I dont get why people want it to sample so much though, an MPC can do all the sampling you could ever want for a fraction of the price, whats good about this is that it's a drum synth and you will be able to synthesize sounds from scratch. I can imagine synth nerds will be the people who really go for this rather than Hip Hop guys

@snolan1990 sampling would be rad because it would made the machine pretty much the ultimate all-in-one for a lot of people. plus when i think linn i think MPC.

Thanks for taking the time to post this! I pre-ordered mine in June, and have been anxious for more demo videos. What is your opinion of it so far?

[soundsubs]

@Puzzlegob Love it! Its easy to use, inspiring, and most of all it sounds great right out of the box!

[dadruben]

I'm VERY curious about the sound samples aspect. Will it be possible to load in your own samples?

[soundsubs]

@dadruben It doesnt look like it--- but there are so many internal sounds and synthesis parameters that it will definitely keep you happy for a long time (and i hate the idea of being 'stuck' with preset sounds, but im not bored with them).. and like i said there is a synthesis engine to run the samples through. the fact that every "oscillator" has 5 envelopes allows you to crossfade two or more into each other. Really really great stuff here.
