11 Tempest Operation Manual Pad Options
Reverse Playback
Reverse causes Sounds—even completely analog, non-sample-based Sounds—to
play in reverse by reversing the envelopes. (Sample-based Sounds also play the
sample in reverse.) R
eveRSe
is a real-time, performance control in 16 S
oundS
and
16 B
eatS
modes and it can also be recorded into a Beat on a per note basis.
While playing a Beat in 16 S
oundS
mode, turning R
eveRSe
on and playing a pad
will cause the Sound to play in reverse. While recording a Beat in 16 S
oundS
mode, notes recorded with R
eveRSe
on will record and play in reverse.
Note: Reverse can also be programmed as a Note Event in the Beat Events
screen and can be turned on or off for individual notes. For details about the
Beat Events screen, see “Events key: the Beat Events screen” on page 13.
While playing a Beat in 16 B
eatS
mode, R
eveRSe
causes all of the Sounds in a
Beat—but not the Beat itself—to play in reverse.
