Save/Load

Pressing Save/Load presents a menu of functions related to saving or loading files. Like a personal computer, Tempest has both random access memory (RAM) and permanent non-volatile storage for saved Sounds, Beats, and Projects. The current Sound, Beat, or Project is always loaded into RAM for playback and edit­ing. Tempest uses flash memory for non-volatile storage.

It is important to understand the distinction between RAM and flash. As with most PC-based software applications, edits to files in RAM must be saved to flash to be recalled later. But, like most synthesizers, Tempest will not prompt you to save changes when powering down or loading another file. It would be pretty annoying if — in the middle of a frenetic, knob-twisting, performance — a prompt came up asking you to save changes every time you switched Beats or loaded a file! But, while you are making beats and sounds, it’s good to get in the habit of saving your work often and, occasionally, backing your work up via MIDI.

Note: Beats include all Sounds used in them and Projects include Beats, which, in turn, include all Sounds in each of the Beats. See “Sounds, Beats, and Proj­ects” on page 3 for a general explanation of the relationship between Sounds, Beats, and Projects.
