just a heads up to let you know that all the patches are now sampled and available also for those not owning a Tempest in 24bit/96KHZ WAV format.Also right as we speak i'm working on the 808 analog kit and i'm surprised how good T can sound on it.Will soon post some teasers for y'all... 8)

i own a tempest.
how does one go about obtaining your pack of sounds to load into the tempest? i don't want the "sampled" versions....
i was waiting for a trilogy pack from you so cool to see it...

I got these today, and loaded each pack as a beat via Midi. Basically, I used the same process as what one would do when updating the OS. I've had my Tempest for almost a week, and thought it could use more presets to start tweaking - while I got myself familiar with the ins and outs of the machine. Yorgos has put together a great starting point for that.
-
You're grabbing it's patch separately from the shop and you load it normally as a beat.After that you can choose which sounds you like the most and save them as sounds to the appropriate categories.

Yorgos,
I am still a bit unclear on this, so please pardon my ignorance.
in your shop you have the three separate sound kits and then you have one that has all three and it states "this is the wav pak". I take this to mean these are sampled versions for people who dont own a tempest, so since i have a tempest, i should not get that pack, correct?
so if I want to grab all three for use with the tempest, i will need to purchase each pack separately? I basically want the sysex file of these packs not the wav/sampled files.
again please pardon my ignorance here, and thank you for your patience.
-
Yes exactly you have to buy each sysex pack separately and not the WAV pack.

Testing the new 808 kit for the Tempest in extreme Beat FX conditions and the proof that the beast can be tamed ;)
You can hear the mains going out raw to Ableton Live and passing through a rack of mine for a little bit of glueing...That's all..If you watch closely the metering on Waves Paz analyzer the drift between normal use vs extreme manipulation is 1.7dB and the good thing is that this drift is controllable!...Not bad at all... :D

are these your own sounds or are you using the on-board 808 samples as a base?
-
I'm goin for the fully sound designed 808 and sounds have created from scratch.So far kick,snare,claves,maracas,cowbell,Lo/Mid/Hi Conga are purely analog using the anal OSC's and ready for extreme manipulation!...Lo/Mid/Hi Toms are almost there and the final touches comes with Hats,cymbals & rim..

-
for maracas are you using noise as mod source?
-
As you already know Tempest hasn't got any analog noise source so you have to use either noise in the mod matrix or OSC's 3-4.I've used the second method..

WHENNNNNNNNNNN :)

Only claps and cymbal left to finish it...The 808 kit is the 1st of the fully sound designed drum machines series i'm planning to release and will remain an ongoing open project with updates and user requests!

Will defo pick this up when I get back home next week.
I also missed the bass presets, will get that too. That theremin bass is superb!
-
Thanks Simon :)
The 808 kit has been designed after listening many users (myself included) complaining about using the beat wide or Sounds FX and not been able to control the dynamics making it unusable in a mix or in a live situation (speakers blow up effect!).That's why the mod matrix has been used heavily.

Picked up the 808 kit today, love it. Really nice to jam with. Made a quick 1 bar loop straight away in around 1 minute and then jammed with it through some FX

Wicked kit Yorgos, must've taken ages to program :o
Kind of sounds like a 'processed' tr-808 to my ears, which is no bad thing! Already made some great patterns with it.
My only minor criticism is mayyyybe the cymbal could do with some work..
So.. 606 next? ;)
-
Yes indeed it took me some time and mostly the settings in Mod matrix so i can control the dynamics..As for the cymbal you're right i'm not satisfied either and i'm constantly working on it in order to put it on the next patch update.By far the most difficult one to nail..As for the next project the natural order says 909..What do you think?

909 would be TOTALLY amazing.. Getting those hats would be tricky though!

Hey Yorgos! To revisit the idea of a training video... An idea could be based on how you went about to create the 808 Kit. It might be about each sound or various principals and measurements to achieve specific sounds in the kit. You can give the 808 pack out as factored into the cost of the course (Discount for those who already purchased the pack). Although one could technically learn from deconstructing the patches, I think the real meat here is how a person plans out a patch by referencing another sound and actually nailing it versus ...look at my cool accidental patch.
-
Some very nice suggestions there man!I'm thinking about it already ;)

I bought it just now. Woot!

Thank you all for your support!Really means a lot!

Alright...this kit is wicked. Hands up totally worth buying!! No BS. I am putting a track together and will post. Yorgos...seriously dude. Great job brother. At first I was like...ok this is good. Then I started fiddling with the patches the RTFX. Brought the beat to life. Lots of control so far and any mods don't drastically kill the beat.
I am not sure how many people bought this beat but it is very inspiring - and I don't buy presets...go figure. I was just messing around for about 1/2 hour laying down patterns and it felt old school super intuitive. I actually figured out a tip which may not be new... while in 16 steps mode lay down a variation to a sound once then revert to pattern of that sound only by pressing SHIFT UNDO SND.
...tomorrow I am breaking out Metaxa in your name. *grin*

Haha thanks bro :D As i suggested you should try tsipouro!Can make you write great beats :P

tsipouro is deadly:) LOL Sure thing...if I bust that open I'll probably spend more time dancing to a kick drum loop....

Yorgos, I recorded a 1 hour set using your kit. I originally was going to post the set as a raw 2nd attempt of Tempest only. However I managed some crazy stuff throughout the session. So to keep everything interesting I chopped up the bits I liked and sketched-out a track. I am still working on it and will no doubt add sounds from the virus and samples to make it a polished track with the goal of breaking it down into a useable Octatrack performance. I still can't believe how inspiring and easy it was to bust out ideas for a techno track using just the kit you designed.
-
Your comments and creations gives me that extra boost to keep creating inspiring sounds & kits for y'all!I'm very interesting in what you come up with...My goal with these kits was exactly what you've described..Something familiar and easy to manipulate without the need to adjust the mix & dynamics all the time.Just play & record!That's where the true magic happens...;)
