[quote=“PlayRecord”]EDIT - imagine the A4 overdrive on the full kit?? Would probably sound poo.

Not so. I set up a thread because my mind was blown by how good the feedback and overdrive work together with the oscillators and filter on the A4. Have a listen.
It’s a nicely thought out, very useful architecture Elektron have implemented there. There’s the same number of parameters involved here as on the Tempest, chiefly Osc 1 feedback level and the drive level on the filter.
The Tempest distortion is literally tacked on the end of the mix post filter. Can’t be shaped and introduces lots of noise and has some kind of high pass filter that kills the low end. And it audibly clicks on and off when used[/quote]
Yeah seen that, nice, A much more versatile setup deffo!! but that’s only 1 sound at a time, probably wouldn’t sound useable on the whole kit at once using that technique. I do like the distortion the A4 can do tho I’m not sure its high end either…
The click from the circuit activating on the tempest is in the FAQs on DSIshomepage http://www.davesmithinstruments.com/support/tempest.php
They say its not too audible when playing? Is it worse than that?
Cheers mate thinking of giving one a go… No trying one first though here.
