Common Tempera Questions
How do I sync the Tempera to my DAW using MIDI?
Connect Tempera to your computer via USB or MIDI DIN cables. In Tempera's Global Settings menu, set 'MIDI Clock Source' to 'External' and configure your DAW to send MIDI clock to the Tempera.
Where are the Pattern, Preset and Kit save locations in the Tempera file system, and what file types are used?
Patterns are saved as '.tmpat' files, Presets as '.tmprst' files, and Kits as '.tmpkit' on the internal storage. Use the dedicated Save/Load menu on the Tempera's display to manage these files.
What's the quickest way to create a new sequence from scratch?
Press the 'Clear Sequence' button (Shift + Pattern button) to erase the current sequence, then enter step recording mode by pressing the 'Record' button and begin adding notes/parameters using the encoders and touch strip.
Why is the Tempera not making any sound, even though the sequencer is running?
Check the 'Output Volume' knob is turned up and ensure the correct audio output (headphones or line out) is connected. Also, verify that a kit is loaded and that notes within the selected sequence correspond to sounds in that kit.
How does the 'Spectral Morph' feature on the Tempera work and what are its key parameters?
The Spectral Morph feature analyzes the incoming audio signal and applies a complex filter based on its spectral content, allowing the creation of wild and unique textures. Key parameters are 'Morph Amount,' 'Center Frequency,' and 'Bandwidth,' accessible through the 'FX' menu.
