WNAMM 2011 Dave Smith Instruments Tempest


YouTube via HarmonyCentral | January 17, 2011 |

"Dave Smith prefers to call this a musical instrument, not a drum machine - and you'll likely agree after seeing the video of this buzz-worthy new product."

I think the six voice Polyevolver has arrived. I need to A/B the specs on each. Via the DSI Tempest page:

"Each of the 6 analog voices has 2 analog oscillators plus 2 digital oscillators (with a large bank of included samples), Dave's classic analog low-pass filter with audio-rate modulation, an additional high-pass filter, analog VCA with feedback, 5 envelopes, 2 LFOs, an extraordinary variety of analog modulation routings, and stunning sonic quality, warmth and punch. Although optimized for drum sounds, it excels at tuned sounds as well, and even doubles as a 6-voice analog synth. In addition to the 6 direct voice outputs, there are stereo mix outputs and phones outputs, plus 2 inputs for foot switches or expression pedals, MIDI in/out and USB."
