Need help with DSI Tempest

Need help with DSI Tempest
« on: March 02, 2026, 02:24:20 AM »
Hello,
I realize this hardware can be quite challenging for someone with limited experience in drum machines and synthesis.

I have several questions that I just don't understand, so I hope there's a patient person out there who can help me:

I bought it second-hand—does it come with multiple pre-loaded kits? It feels like there are only one or two preset kits, and I wanted to dive in and play right away before developing my own sounds, but I keep hitting a wall.

Is it possible to download other people's patches into my Tempest for easy “plug-and-play”?

When I’m in the 16 sounds -> Pads mode, the Sound folder knob cycles through folders, but they all seem to have the same sounds. The Load Sound knob doesn’t seem to work at all.
