LUKE'S ANGER - LIVE DSI Tempest & Octatrak

LUKE'S ANGER - LIVE IN DA COUNTRYSIDE 25.8.12 by Luke's Anger
"Rawkus live techno muzak!

Laptop not included!"

"I’m using a sampler (Elektron Octatrack) and analogue drum machine/synth (DSI Tempest). I tend to write tracks separately on each machine, over 4 patterns. The Octatrack (OT) sends MIDI clock and transport to to the Tempest. Tempest audio out goes to OT inputs, this enable me to record, loop, add f.x and mangle the Tempest on-the-fly. Finally the mixed signal goes out of the OT to the mixer and that’s it, well simple. The best thing of all it fits into a Pelican 1510 (airline carry-on approved, apart from Ryan Air - wankers!)."

0 Coast, Moog Mother 32 and DSI Tempest Groovin

Published on Aug 18, 2016 martinjazz78

"Make Noise 0 Coast, Moog Mother 32 and DSI Tempest in upbeat tempo and positive vibe (aka E flat major). Cirklon sequences 0 Coast and Mother 32, Tempest is enslaved/synced to Cirklon too, but the beat is from Tempest's internal sequencer.

There is not much of other processing. 0 Coast goes through vintage tape Roland Space Echo for little bit of delay and reverb. Moog Mother 32 as well but only a very tiny bit.There is also little bit of compression from my Motu interface on all three gears.

It was recorded live, only stereo output from the Motu interface into Ableton. If you want to hear kick from the Tempest too, you may need better speakers or headphones."

New OS Update Coming to the DSI/Roger Linn Design Tempest

Good news for Tempest owners. You might remember the owners petition posted back in March. It looks like there will be an OS update to address some of the requests. The following came in from Roger Linn in response to Sonic State:

"To be honest, a big part of the problem is that I've been so busy with LinnStrument for the past couple of years that I haven't been giving Tempest the attention I should have as designer, and I think that is reflected in problems in the last Tempest update. So I owe Tempest owners an apology. Dave and his guys were already working on a new update, but with the kind assistance of one of the writers of the petition, I've stepped back in to help insure that the next update does what it needs to. I'd love to give you a release date for this update but there are still too many unanswered questions. So the best I can say now is that we're working hard on it and this is very important to me personally.

- Roger"

I confirmed with DSI, and an update will be coming.

Tempest Demo 1, rough

YouTube Uploaded by d4nnyp on Dec 19, 2011

"Quick Tempest Demo, its a kit I put together with a mix of tweaked factory and made from scratch sounds. Its all tempest with reverb from an EHX Cathedral pedal. It was a pretty rough take as I wanted to do a demo more than a tune, so its a bit like "new toy" time!
There is a bit of noise on it too, I forgot to unplug the PC out from the mixer and the PC noise gets sent down the wire!. The Tempest itself is noise free and sounds lovely.
Hopefully the video shows some of the fun to be had when its Tempest time.
If I get round to recording it as a tune then I may add it later."

DSI Tempest 1983

Published on May 3, 2013 dreamprobe·16 videos

"Here is a new video featuring the DSI Tempest. This is the first of two videos were I recorded the Tempest 6 individual outputs live in one take into Logic and then afterwards mixed it.

I recorded the DSI Tempest 6 individual outputs straight into the UAD Apollo sound card in one take. Then I played 2 overdubs on the Tempest pads with polyphonic synth sounds.
The reverb, EQ and compressor are from the UAD Apollo and recorded live at the same time. Then some mixing/mastring in Logic. All synth sounds made by DreamProbe.

Check out my website: www.dreamprobemusic.com
There you can listen to my music, download sounds/samples etc."

Acid Jam with Avalon, Tempest and Jomox Mbase 11

Published on May 29, 2017 martinjazz78

"Some moments from my weekend dawless synth jam. This time pretty straightforward acid/acid techno - you name it.

Gear used:
Avalon by Abstract Instruments (clocked by Tempest, otherwise internal sequencer)
Tempest by DSI (master clock, internal sequencer)
Jomox Mbase 11 (triggered by Tempest)

The kick sound is from Jomox only, no kick from Tempest.

The effects you hear are from the Behringer mixpult and I have to say in this context I really like how they suck :)

If you really want to hear how low can Avalon as well as Jomox go, you need good headphones, good speakers and ideally subwoofer.

It was recorded and tweaked live on the fly, stereo output from the Behringer into Ableton Live. Camera is GoPro Hero, edited in Final Cut."

Sync-Shift MKIII with DSI Tempest & AkaiMPC3K

Sync-Shift MKIII Tempest MPC3K.mp4

YouTube Published on May 4, 2012 by innerclock2004

"Quick Vid/No Voiceover - MPC3K Master/DSI tempest Slave. Tempest Audio Hard Left. MPC3K Audio Hard Right. If you are listening through a mixer try setting pans to centre to hear the Flam/Phase. First play Sync-Shift MKIII is in bypass so it is like direct Midi Clock connection. Sounds respectable but the 8ms start lag is messing with the bass frequencies to my ears and the groove is a little rough. Second play - Sync-Shift MKIII set to 1 Bar Delay and then fine tune offset with the Rotary. Third Play - Change offset for slave syncopation. Fourth Play - different syncopation again. Regards - David"

Syndicate Synthetique on the DSI Tempest

Live Improv Sound Design and BeatFlipping Demo 01

YouTube Uploaded by SyndicateSynthetique on Feb 9, 2012

Rhythm starts at 1:20.

"My name is James Jaret Kojac / Syndicate Synthetique. I'm a Sound Designer and one of my latest projects has been working with DSI on the Tempest Drum Machine.

This video is primarily a showcase of what my friends and I have been calling "beat flipping" on the DSI "Tempest". Beat Flipping is essentially an exercise in live improvisation to see how far one can take the same 4bar pattern on one device.

All Patches/Sounds and patterns are all designed from zero'd out custom patch initializations and designed by myself for DSI and/or Myself.

This video is 100% Live Tempest. It was recorded into an MBox2 into Reaper at 48/24 .wav with no pre- or post-processing except normalization.

In this video I demonstrate use of polyphonic synthesis, reverse, beat roll, pad pressure modulation routing and obviously a bunch more. As time goes on and I add them, the timed comments should go over a few things as I do them.

Enjoy! More to come...

DSI TEMPEST_SHIT ROBOT TUFF ENUFF COVER | Metropolitan

Published on Feb 23, 2015 Mice Device

"This is a cover of Shit Robot´s Tuff Enuff song, done entirely in the Tempest. It is programmed using the Play List mode, and recorded into Ableton Live in just one shot.
It´s an interpretation done with this machine, so of course it has some diffrences with the original song, but I tried to be as close as it can get to the original record, except that "explosive variable oscillating siny wave" at the end of the lyrics, that it is very difficult to achive (so if any one can get it better, please send me a sysex!)

This is pure Tempest with just some side chain compression (new feature of this machine added in the new OS 1.4), except for a minimum amount of reverb in Ableton."

Notes @ 3am

Published on Apr 25, 2017 Dudadius

"Eurorack modular with Dave Smith Instruments Tempest and Elektron Analog Heat.

Tempest sends clock to Intellijel uMidi, which distributes cv around the system.

Bass voice is Atlantis played by Monome Ansible Kria.

Second voice is Dixie II+ and Polaris, from channel 2 of Kria.

Third voice is from B2 sequencer channel of the Tempest, playing Synth Tech E330 through a Cwejman MMF1s.

There are a couple of other melodic parts coming from the Tempest itself.

Orthogonal Devices ER-301 is playing some noise, ambient, and speech samples (from Synth Tech circuit bent module) that I created and recorded previously. Trigger from Malekko Varigate8/Voltage Block.

Tiptop One has some percussion loaded.

Audio Damage Neuron is doing the noisy hi-hat thing.

Intellijel Rainmaker and Audio Damage Eos are on the effects send of the WMD Performance Mixer. Eleketron Analog Heat is inserted into the master bus."

Bad Gear - Tempest

video upload by AudioPilz

"Welcome to Bad Gear, the show about the world's most hated audio tools. Today we are going to talk about the DSI Tempest Analog Drum Machine. Is this hybrid drum machine created by two of the most influential figures in music technology, Dave Smith (creator of the Prophet 5 and important contributor to the midi standard) and Roger Linn (father of the Akai MPC and all that fancy 80s drum machines), the gold standard for hardware-based music production or did the two legends aim too high?

Tempest 909 Acid Test

YouTube Uploaded by MusicGearNuts on Nov 19, 2011

"Can the DSI Tempest emulate a Roland TR909? You decide...

Here's a simple test, 6 drum sounds from the Tempest and a randomized acid bass line to fill out the mix.

The kick drum has been programmed with one triangle wave, bit of pitch and amp envelope and a light click from the digital oscillator.

Rest of the drums are all Tempest's digital (sample) oscillators, just like the real 909."
