Tempest


As I'm sure you've heard by now Dave Smith Instruments unveiled the Tempest Analog Drum Machine at NAMM 2011 with Roger Linn. The Tempest is one of the rightful heirs to the fabled Boom Chik, with Roger Linn expected to announce a more sample oriented similar drum machine in the near future.

Here's the low down:

- 6 voices each with 2 analog and digital oscillators.
- Dave Smith's classic analog low pass filter with audio rate modulation, and an additional high pass filter
- Analog VCA with feedback (just like in the Mopho and Tetra)
- 5 envelopes
- 2 LFOs
- Vast modulation routing
- Performance oriented operating system
- Two pressure and position sensitive Note FX slide controllers
- Beat synced delay and stutter effects
- Adjustable swing timing
- Tempest also doubles as a 6 voice analog synth!
