To Export a Sound/Beat/Project from Flash over MIDI:

1. Connect Tempest to the receiving device (computer running MIDI appli-

device’s MIDI in is sufficient for exporting.

To Export from one Tempest (master) to Another (slave) over MIDI:

1. Connect MIDI out on the master to MIDI in on the slave. (Tempest is

incapable of acting as a USB host, so transfers must be done using a MIDI

cable.)

• If exporting a Sound from RAM, put both Tempests into 16 S

oundS

mode,

tap a pad on the master to select the source Sound, and tap a pad on the

slave to choose the destination.

• If exporting a Beat from RAM, put both Tempests into 16 B

eatS

mode, tap

a pad on the master to select the source Beat, and tap a pad on the slave to

choose the destination.

• If exporting a Project from RAM, put both Tempests into 16 B

eatS

mode.

Since there is only one Project in RAM at a time, there is no source or

destination to select.

2. On the master, press S

ave

oad

and choose Export Sound/Beat/Project in

RAM over MIDI or Export Saved File over MIDI (Sound/Beat/Project)

to transfer the data. The slave does not need to be enabled to receive the

transfer. Just press e

the slave’s RAM; exports from flash load into the slave’s flash.
