Hey! While you’re here, could you share why the Tempest doesn’t allow you to use your own samples?

Could you guys open source some parts of Tempest so people could keep working on it?

Asking as a Tempest owner and huge Sequential fan.

Chip/hardware complexity. We actually put some serious resources into trying to get this to work, wish we could have made it a reality

And no, open sourcing would be incredibly difficult to do with hardware that has multiple chips and requires people to have expensive programming tools. If it was an ARM you could just plug a USB cable into that'd be one thing, this just wouldn't work without a ton of support

And glad you liked it! I'm quite proud of it all in all

Interesting.

There are those pre-installed samples there already, they couldn't just be swapped out with an imported file – there's something special about those files?

Anyway I think it's hugely underrated, hopefully you guys can do a v2 sometime. I'm blown away whenever I use it, it feels like a huge technical achievement.

Technically they could and that as well was something we looked into. Honestly it was the most complicated thing I've ever done. Would love to give it another shot some day!
