Save/Load

Pressing Save/Load 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 edit­ing. 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.

Note: 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.

Saving Sounds, Beats, and Projects

Sounds are saved to one of several folders in Tempest’s flash memory. They can also be exported and saved as system exclusive MIDI data. (See “Exporting Sounds, Beats, and Projects” on page 42.)

To Save a Sound to Flash:

1) In 16 Sounds mode, tap a pad to choose the Sound to save.

2) Press Save/Load, choose Save Sound, and press the Next Soft Key.

3) The current source Beat and Sound are displayed and can be changed, if desired.

4) Select the destination Sound folder.

5) Enter the name using the Edit Filename Soft Knob to choose characters and the ◄ and ► keys to move the cursor.

6) Press the Save Now Soft Key.

7) Press the Exit Soft Key or Save/Load to exit.
