This clip could've ended at the 10 second mark and it still would've been epic

this is the hit of the NAMM 2011 beside the popular 2005 recycled kr-OnASYS :)

Nick, one information is still missing about the Tempest, does the unit loads user samples? if so how many Mb, what kind of memory it has and what sample quality khz/bit? Thanks

@costi, its synthesis based so no samples, when roger linn brings his version out it'll be samples

Fantastic! Especially interesting since it's apparently also a 6 voice synth as well. Good interview!

@Quiggers

They said in some youtube videos they have samples in it cause there are 2 analog oscilators and two digital for each voice, and the digital ones have samples

Wow I was about to order an Electribe ESX but know I have serious doubts about it. Even though this is way more expensive I think it covers my "needs" plentifully.
