I have been attempting to sync my Tempest to Ableton for some time now and still can't get it perfectly in sync. Always seems to be a a few milliseconds lag time that I notice with in playing in beats mode only.
-Ableton-
1. Open Preferences, select Tempest as Input and Output. Click ON & Sync on midi ports for Tempests Input & Output.
2. First open Ableton and open an external instrument.
3. Set MIDI to Tempest (Using usb).
4. Select correct midi channel and correct audio from channel.
-Tempest-
1. Open system preferences - Select Remote Pad In Channel
2. Pad to Note Mode - Beats (for beat sequence)
3. MIDI Clock Mode - Slave
4. MIDI Clock In & Out - USB
-Apple OSX-
1. Open Audio Midi setup
2. Verified Tempest is showing up as a Midi port and tested ok with click sound.
I can't figure out why I am experiencing lag and a few milli second delay when playing live in Ableton.
Any help will be appreciated !

Have you compensate Tempest's Midi Out sync in Ableton Live Midi preferences?You have to adjust it in order to achieve a good sync.Just enable both Tempest's and Live's metronome and in Live's Midi preferences under Tempest Sync Out adjust the delay.I have mine around -40/45ms with 256 buffer size.

Thank You so much Yorgos A ! I will give it a shoot soon and let you know my results!

Thanks again
I seem to have my Tempest beats all in sync with Ableton using -64 on the 'midi clock sync delay' on the 'Midi Port - Output tempest'.
I recorded Tempest Kicks in Ableton and zoomed into the wave to get as close as possible to start point of the kick wav.
Its a good thing to be in sync !

Glad you sorted out ;)
