"The DSI Tempest is known for its incredible analog drum machine capabilities, but did you know it’s also a powerful six-voice synthesizer? In this video, I explore the Tempest’s synth side, showcasing its ability to produce lush pads, gritty basslines, and evolving textures that rival standalone analog synthesizers. With dual analog oscillators, a sub-oscillator, and two digital oscillators per voice, the Tempest offers a vast palette of sonic possibilities. I'll be exploring some amazing sounds crafted by Tim Mantle (Psalm37), highlighting just how versatile this hybrid machine truly is.

Whether you’re a Tempest owner or just curious about its lesser-known capabilities, this demo reveals how it can be so much more than a drum machine. Stick around to hear rich analog tones, expressive modulation, and the inspiring range this instrument has to offer. Don’t forget to like, comment, and subscribe for more deep dives into iconic music gear and synth demos. Let’s explore the analog soul of the Tempest together!

Note, you may hear crackling sounds in some of the patches. This is coming from my Tempest itself. I don't know if this is normal or my tempest needs repair. I'll check with Sequential to see if they still repair these and post an update in the comments once I learn more.

"Sorry bout the aspect ratio, I get confused between Instagram and YouTube.
Nothing was planned in this improv, just messing around with this amazing piece of kit. I've had so many synths over the years, old and new. This one is a keeper, it can be brutal and it can be smooth."

"If you are looking for a video of the raw Oberheim Matrix 12 sound, this isn't for you. Likewise, if you are looking for a polished, well edited collection of sound and visuals, this isn't for you. This is just 20mins of me getting to know my Matrix 12 a little better with a ton of reverb and delay."
