41 Tempest Operation Manual Mixer and Effects
Mixer and Effects
A 32-input mixer permits unique
mix (volume, mute, solo, pan, delay
send, and delay on/off for each
sound) and effects settings (delay
time, delay feedback, distortion,
compression) for each Beat.
The Delay feature acts like a digital
audio delay but instead creates
additional delayed notes in order to
keep Tempest’s entire signal in the
analog domain.
You can change the mixer settings by adjusting the
controls in the Mixer section of the panel, or by
selecting M
iXeR
in the Screens section (pressing P
adS
and S
oundS
together), which causes the Mixer screen
to appear.
