Factory reset

[jconway3]

Hi all
I am just about to buy a used Tempest. Is there a procedure to put it back to factory default condition ?

Format (Hold both shift buttons + System button to enter root menu) and after that load the factory content..

Thank you for the information regarding formatting the Tempest. You say load the factory content afterwards, how do I find the factory content ?
Thank you

I just went through this process, and while I ended up with a bunch of "sounds" and "projects" in the factory folders, i didn't end up with any "beats". Is this to be expected when loading only the content provided on the sequential website?

By pressing the key combination, I access the system menu. I have tried several times but I don't access the menu to format
