I'm curious if anyone knows of a easy way to export a sound from a beat, and import it into the list of sounds. I examined the sysex file for a sound saved as a sound file, and a sound that's part of a beat. They look entirely different, so I'm guessing it can't be done.
From the manual page 63
“To Export a Sound from RAM over MIDI:
1. Connect Tempest to the receiving device (computer running MIDI appli- cation, dedicated hardware sequencer, etc.) using either USB or a MIDI interface. If using a MIDI interface, connecting Tempest’s MIDI out to the device’s MIDI in is sufficient for exporting.
2. In 16 SoundS mode, tap a pad to choose the Sound to export.
3. Press Save/load, choose Export Sound in RAM over MIDI, and press the
neXt Soft Key.
4. The current source Beat and Sound are displayed and can be changed, if
desired.
5. Choose the destination (MIDI and/or USB).
6. Enable the receiving device to receive and record SysEx.
7. Press the eXPoRt now Soft Key.
8. The device records the SysEx data, which can then be named and saved for backup and importing into Tempest.
9. Press the again Soft Key to export another file or Save/load to exit.”
Also I'm curious if there's a way to export ALL the sounds, then rename them individually on the computer and re-import them. I'm pretty sure it can't be done, but I have been wrong before.
And page 65
“To Export Tempest’s entire file contents for backup (Beats, Projects, Sounds):
1. Connect Tempest to the receiving device (computer running MIDI applica- tion, etc.) using either USB or a MIDI interface. If using a MIDI interface, connecting Tempest’s MIDI out to the device’s MIDI in is sufficient for exporting.
2. Press the Save/load button.
3. Use Soft Knob 1 to select item 8, “eXPoRt file oveR midi.”
4. Press the neXt Soft Key.
5. Use Soft Knob 4 to select “all.”
6. Press the neXt Soft Key again.
7. Use Soft Knob 3 to select the appropriate MIDI port (midi or uSB).
8. Press the eXPoRt now Soft Key.”
