The Dave Smith Instruments Tempest is a powerful drum machine – but it’s also a capable analog synth in disguise.
This video, via Steven Morris, demonstrates his original synth patches – and some of the range of the Tempest as an analog synth.
Patches:
1. ST Tenshi
2. ST Snapshot
3. ST Rhodes II
4. ST S&H Shower
5. ST Piano
6. ST BowString II
7. ST Dream
8. ST Velo-Harp
9. ST Mallet Pad
I would have said the opposite. That the Tempest is in fact an analogue polysynth cleverly disguised as a drum machine
Having owned one I’d definitely agree.
Hey, love the patches. Steven, would you be interested in sharing them? Here is a track I recently made for my band with the Tempest. Really fun, inspirering and deep machine.http://damnrightmusic.bandcamp.com/track/stars
Synthiosaurous,
I’m happy to share my sounds :). I put attachments of them on Gearslutz as well as the Tempest Forum.
