Tempest

[James R. Coplin]

I'm still a big fan of Maschine but I tend to use Battery more.  I wish they would integrate the two somehow.  I'm finding more and more I prefer to work with my sample libraries than drum synth/machines.  That might be because I have insanely large libraries I've built up over the years from literally hundreds of machines.  They sound great and I pretty much always get what I want.  I find I use the Machinedrum more as a perc/glitch supporting rhythmic part with my samples pulling main duties.

Hey James

"I sat down with one at a friends and I was really underwhelmed, especially given the price tag.  It just really left me flat.  That being said, I really haven’t liked the sound of any of the new Dave Smith stuff so maybe it’s just me."

Im with you on this one..  I also have a PEK (used to own a MED) and there is something about it which just does not quite grab me.  Like you, Im big time into programming synths so its not a preset thing..

Btw, I also agree with you about the Voyager which I owned for a few years..  I found it very uninspiring; too refined and tame..

Im really tempted by the Tempest despite my apathetic view of DSI..  I think I really want to fall in love with the idea but Im concerned the reality will be disappointing..  Saying this, if I ever saw one for a good price Im sure I would jump at the chance to run it side by side my 999/Machine/Spark and then make a decision on which one(s) I sell..
