A live performance of my track "Mint" on the Dave Smith Instruments Tempest.

For those of you thinking about buying a Tempest too, there are some things to consider: Dave Smith and Roger Linn did a great job, creating the most complex drum machine we have ever seen and I absolutely love it.

But since it's still not completely finished, there are some bugs and there are some important features not yet implemented. Also, the sound is great for musical styles like mine, but might not be suitable for many other genres.

As it's a huge investment for most of us, I would recommend you try it out in a local music store first, or watch all videos you can get you hands on, to figure out if it's the best choice for you!

If you have any questions regarding Tempest or anything else, please post them in the comment section or contact me in any other way, I'll be glad to help!

Thanks for listening to my music,
all the best!

still not sure why they couldn't just add a sampling feature to it

[TheVincentWagner]

@arkyve31 as far as I know it's because they wanted to make it fully analog. then again, there are two digital/samplebased oscs already. maybe there'll be a way to sacrifice some of the factory samples and load some of your own instead sometime in the future. but I'm not sure if there may be some technical difficulties involved!

@mechanicalchris3 haha, made my day! thank you sir!

@gododinou The beauty of this instrument is in its simplicity, subtlety, and sonic nuances. The music in the vid showcases exactly how it should be used. Obviously you're not a producer or you would have understood the stylization the creator of the video was going for. You're probably a kid with pirated copy of Fruity loops and half your head shaved. Why don't you go check out "Platinum Loops Presents: Yo Playaz Are You Ready For Club Step Vol. 2"

@gododinou you're a lovely person, we're all grateful to have you. just don't waste your time ranting too much, it's not worth it. and you're right, "frustrated" is not an argument, it may be a reason though!

[gododinou]

@TheVincentWagner The sound is bad, the sequence is very poor and the only 'music' we can hear is ridiculous for this massive instrument. Sorry but it's my point of view and the right to write it. The word 'frustated' is not an argument.

[TheVincentWagner]

@gododinou so....frustrated?

[TheVincentWagner]

@iantoau yes, the odd time signatures are available in the latest beta update!

[gododinou]

So...... boring

can you do a groove in 7/8?
