Save/Load

Pressing Save/load presents a menu of functions related to saving or loading

les.Likeapersonalcomputer,Tempesthasbothrandomaccessmemory(RAM)

and permanent non-volatile storage for saved Sounds, Beats, and Projects. The

current Sound, Beat, or Project is always loaded into RAM for playback and edit-

ing.Tempestusesashmemoryfornon-volatilestorage.

ItisimportanttounderstandthedistinctionbetweenRAMandash.Aswith

mostPC-basedsoftwareapplications,editstolesinRAMmustbesavedto

ashtoberecalledlater.But,likemostsynthesizers,Tempestwillnotprompt

youtosavechangeswhenpoweringdownorloadinganotherle.Itwouldbe

pretty annoying if—in the middle of a frenetic, knob-twisting, performance—a

prompt came up asking you to save changes every time you switched Beats or

loadedale!But,whileyouaremakingbeatsandsounds,it’sgoodtogetin

the habit of saving your work often and, occasionally, backing your work up via

MIDI.

Note: Beats include all Sounds used in them and Projects include Beats, which,

in turn, include all Sounds in each of the Beats. See “Sounds, Beats, and Proj-

ects” on page 3 for a general explanation of the relationship between Sounds,

Beats, and Projects.

Saving Sounds, Beats, and Projects

SoundsaresavedtooneofseveralfoldersinTempest’sashmemory.They

can also be exported and saved as system exclusive MIDI data. (See “Exporting

Sounds, Beats, and Projects” on page 42.)
