Oh, this is premium beepboop.
Jeremy stop saying "shaft".
Oh, this is premium comment.
@@OscillatorSinkthis is premium crossover
I WILL NOT
I think it even has some randomization for you Mister Sink.
Thank you! I just got mine and was trying to bumble my way through the interface with just the quick start guide in hand. I couldn't understand the emitter concept. Your breakdown just made everything make sense!!!! It is amazing. I feel like it will definitely make a huge difference using samples edited specifically to be used with the the interface and 8 stages in mind.
This is the instrument no one ever needs, but must have lol… this looks like HOURS of fun!!! Like just plug in headphones, enjoy your favorite adult beverage or herb product and get lost in audio immersion for days 👍🏻
Plus one bro. Plus one.
What a happy madness 🎉
At 19:50 Magic happens, I find the combination of classical instruments in a digital granular sumbiosis so appealing
23:15 1-wavetabel transforme into a synth... love this example
Hot damn you weren't kidding, that little jam was awesome.
You sunk my battleship!
Extremely well thought out. The workflow and synth engine open up some interesting territory. I love the small footprint as well. Wonderful video, impressive product.
Hi jeremy, excellent video that finally clarified many things for me about Tempera. It will be welcome in my setup.
I would have liked to see something about MIDI implementation and real time sampling using the built-in microphone.
Thank you for your clarity and have a great life.👍
This seems like the logical progression for granular Synthesis. It lends itself to the experimentation that granular is already perfectly for.
love seeing you champion projects you believe in
Absolutely brilliant. The best way to maximize granular synthesis’s parameters. This feels/sounds more like an instrument and less like a sampler. ❤️
I just wanna say that the sound editing around the 7 minute mark was so perfect and made my day, lol
Thanks Jeremy. I’m just waiting for my order to show up. 😊
That's so beautiful. I like the intuitive design. Such a great video. Thank you for sharing.
Nice one, really nice! Love the versatility of the instrument! ❤🔥Top notch presentation as always. Thanks!
Perfect instrument for someone that operates a space ship 😎
That is some interesting Kit. Congrats on your participation.
Nice instrument and the creator made very good decision to involve you in design process. Great video too. Thanks!
Thanks for the demo.
If I get this right,
There are 8 samples of up to 11 seconds each, that you can place 4 kinds of color coded grain emitters on.
When you press a key on the keyboard (int/ext), it makes the colored emitters on the same midi channel, fire grains, with the pitch controlled by the selected keyboard note.
Seems like this would go great with my Expressive E Osmose MPE keyboard.
Maybe Tempera will add poly aftertouch and MPE capability some day 😉
There are four separate color coded emitters, each of which can have its own granular settings.
There are eight lanes containing 11 second samples, on which you place copies of the colored emitters, to make sound (grains) come from that lane, using that colors grain settings.
Each lane sample is divided into 8 pieces, arranged from beginning to end, starting at the top of the row.
Placing an emitter on a spot on a row, causes sound (grains) to emit from that location in the 11 second sample.
You can put the same color emitter on as many lanes as you like.
Each colored emitter can have its own midi channel, and when a note is played on that channel, all the placed emitters of that color, make a sound, at the pitch of the note pressed.
What I'm not clear on is, can you put more than one emitter, and/or one color, per lane?
Can you have two emitters of different colors, on the same spot, in the same lane?
Love Granular.
After watching your video, and reading the online Quick Start Guide at the website, I'm starting to think I want this 😻
To me this is what hardware is about - clever people designing a workflow that gives you results almost instantly that would otherwise involve so much fiddling about in a DAW. Your 'instant steve reich' comment is so spot on!
quick question actually btw! With timed emitters - does not quantising all the way give subtlety looser humanised rhythms? Or does it get kinda messy very fast?
Good to see more goodies from the Czech Republic!
I would not complain if Bastl brought out another sampler...... just something to think about! ;-)
@@Metamerist625 maybe one day!
That looks like a splendidly playable and innovative instrument I am very impressed!
I mean...19:50 Are you kidding me? So so beautiful.
After your first vid on this, I printed out a screengrab of the demo and pinned it to my wall to remind me this was a future must have. Here we are. In the future.
Now to find the cash.
I'm sorry...last edit: 37:40 oh my GOD.
the device itself looks super satisfying to touch and interact with. thanks for the overview!
Thanks for the fantastic insights
Hell yeah. It looks better than I remembered
A beautiful interface.
It was all beautiful but that "Brass/Strings" Patch @39:47 was pretty epic.
The timing of this video as we await the final stages of production is awesome! I'm so excited now
Been waiting for this 😈
Pre-ordered this as soon as they went up for PO, can’t wait! Thanks for the in-depth review/tutorial.
Absolutely amazing! magical box of wonders and inspiring sounds, awaiting shipment of mine, really looking forward to it!
Incredible
This is because of my own stupidity but the key step distracted from what device is doing what. I hope you see this is a fair comment. Loved the video and it’s definitely sent me down a rabbit hole.
This is so cool.
Love it!
Mind blown by all the possibilities how this can be used, the best granular device I have ever seen / heard, can't wait!
here is a fine example of a 21st century instrument
I just ordered one and I can't WAIIITTTT
Finally some complexity ❤🔥❤🔥
The granular vocal stuff is quite amazing.
Sounds rad
Back in April/May 2023, after watching all available vids about Tempera, I immediately decided to place my pre-order for the first batch. Honestly I don't necessarily see Tempera as a traditional granular synthesizer/sampler. I guess many people would running all those string and flute-like sounds in rapid sequences. For many people this is what Granular is for (this is fine and I‘m not blaming anyone for this 😉
I‘m personally interested in Tempera's incredible potential as a rhythm machine for designing interesting basslines, rhythmic loops, and/or creating entire landscapes with rhythmic vocals combined with on board and external FX possibilities. Indeed you scratched the surface when it came to usage of vocals samples. The results were magical, and that's just the tip of the iceberg.
I would have been delighted if the bassline and loop functions had also been discussed. Tempera is incredibly versatile and it seems the deep sky is the only limit. Thank you for the presentation 🤝✌️
well done
My dude...what have I stumbled on here?? lol Thanks for the vid and keep up the good work
Excited right off the bat to see yr take on an instrument outside the modular realm.
👽: “Yo pass me the aux!”
Me: “You better not play trash.”
👽:
Very cool. If I had more money than sense, I'd be all over this...
In case anyone was wondering, it's 800 Euros,
and the first batch is sold out, with the next batch scheduled for February 2024.
I'd like to hear a torture test - slowly evolving samples are pretty much the best case scenario for granular; things like beats or speech are harder (yes, there's a speech example here)
time to dig out the gameboy magnifier, like with so many other HW and tiny displayes 😅 sounds great though!
Hmm looks like a fun thing to pair with my deluge. It would be amazing to have such a granular ability to modify the synth engines.
I'm so happy about a follow up on the Tempera. Shortly after I watched your first vid on it, I got to play around on it at Superbooth and barely left the booth - I kept coming back to show it to people, it's an amazing piece of gear. And to see it only got more inspiring, that's just beautiful.
My only gripe with it is that I don't understand why they wouldn't make the keyboard horizontal instead of vertical (and therefore blocking out entire sample columns)
Yeah that's a legit mystery
Many thanks to Red Means Recording for helping me to better understand my Tempera. But I still have a major burning question after sitting with this thing for a week.
I went into the midi settings and set it to "receiving" in hopes that I could time-sync the loops and some of the more rhythmic grain effects to my Korg Drumlogue... and then to my Polyend Play.
But it does not seem to sync. No dice.
Now, it clearly has options to be able to do this in the menu. I tried changing the midi-type from A to B and back with no luck.
Am I missing something? Has this functionality not been released yet (firmware update maybe)?
Can anyone post a video that walks someone through the process of time-syncing the Tempera to another drum machine or groovebox?
I appreciate any insight that can be provided on this topic.
Thanks!
@Jeremy - I found this video via your complaint on Synthtopia. Great vid! Thanks for complaining.
I almost want to call this a ‘grain-table’ synth. I love how it sounds!! The singing bowls are just inspiring me to play around w/more ambient sounds.
Dude..... this box is NUTS. I love this, but I'm so stuck in software mode where all the controls are much easier and faster to find and dial in... but damn. This is so tempting.
Any word on MIDI implementation? Do you know if it has program change / recallable presets?
That horror one sounded so much like the spoopy Zelda dungeons, very good.
I wonder how this would pair with an Osmose
Great video! I just received mine and it is awesome! Do you know if there is a list of the pre-loaded samples? It would be handy to have them all on a single page (in the manual for example) to combine them in a new canva!
I was SO EXCITED when they emailed the update on our preorders that Jeremy was one of the 4 featured sound sample engineers for Tempera! Can’t wait for it to ship SOOOOOON 🙏🏻 😁🎄 They are so friendly replying to emails, hope they add Bit Crushing btw
This is amazing ❤
looks and sounds lovely - I'm curious/puzzled about the tempo being dependent on the pitch - is it possible to have time stretching?
Tempera and the M8 or Tracker Mini would be good friends
I absolutely love small gear like the Tempera
I played with one of these at Superbooth this last year. It seemed super cool.
Hey J-slice, any plans for more Tempera videos? It's a neat thing and not a lot of videos out there! Either way have a lovely day ✨
I have a sudden urge to play with my mutable instruments clouds again
A Question I ask about every granular sampler but somehow never seem to get a straight answer to: Can MIDI expression / poly AT be used to control the “playhead position” in real time per played note / triggered sound? When granular learns to do that one can use the timbral content within the sample itself as a filter equivalent, etc. That will turn granular into a more practical equivalent for full resynthesis.
😳Oh that is really cool.
Uniquely brilliant 😺👍
the way the UI is split across the 4 screens and 8 buttons is really neat
Amazing! I would love to see the process of live sampling an instrument or recording with this. And is there a reverse grain playback function somewhere?
Sadly not yet
I feel like this has more of the immediate elements of the microcosm with more clear control than randomness.
PS: I would already be more then happy if it could do the aforementioned with one single sample assigned to all 8 emitters to provide an eight voice “version”.
with recent products like the Polyend tracker mini, and the chompi.. this would be awesome if this also had an internal battery. Would be a killer [truly] portable instrument. Oh well though, this is cool
How about the sampling and resampling capabilities? How have you incorporated into eurorack?
It can do those things and I haven't
This looks like the thing I'm looking for. As a Granulator 2 player I need a hardware version of the instrument. Can I map midi wise all the parameters on it as I do with Granulator? I can't find the manual, only a quick start guide...
FYI there is a MIDI chart in the start guide ;)
very interesting
So, we can’t buy one or get one till February via pre order? I assume they wanted a proper Xmas launch. This is a shame. Many people only buy big for holidays. Looks amazing and would buy one today if able
Wow. In some modes it's like a wave-sequencer synth (eg WaveState) in addition to being a great granular synth. Good job, Jer. I want one!
37:11 there we go. That's a track.
Already sold out until next batch in February… I’ll wait for the early adopters to dump them after Xmas wink 😉
Are the samples loaded into the tempera independent from the keyboard? Or they always play from the keyboard through the tempera?
I think “instant Steve Reich” is a phrase that could sell me any product lmao
whoa. that brass & strings ending is huge
Thanks for the vid. I don’t understand the tuning at 7:17 , you say it’s on the C but I listen a A note. In the keyboard if you are in C major scale your finger should play a G. I received my Tempera and when I play C note it sounds B flat. Am I missing something ? 🧐
I reserved mine a month ago, and can't wait to receive it 2/2024!!!
Question if you have a chance: is that a custom stand under the Tempera? Or what sort of stand is that? Is that the base of the Tempera itself?? Thanks!
It's a cheap Amazon tilting laptop stand
@@RedMeansRecording hah! Nice. I already have one such stand under a Microfreak, and I have a Cremacaffe stand for a few other things, but will need something for the Tempera. I am so incredibly stoked for this thing! Thank you for being part of it, and for showing it! I'm inspired and already have a folder set up on a library drive where I'm thinking of cool sounds that will mesh or clash well, and I can't wait. Peace.
Can you load your own samples from a zoom etc?
I cannot imagine a use case for this that cant be done with a load of other instruments. BUT this looks enormously satisfying to use.
what other instruments?
I'd love a dive into preparing and making samples for use with it! You demoed several ideas that require special sample prep, and the steps don't seem super obvious to me.
so... the 4 emitters are set to perform granular feats and then can be applied to any of the 8 samples, and when we see multiple emitter colors it's because you have latched them? but in order to touch-interact with the samples, you need to have one emitter active/highlighted? though latched spots will remain unless you touch them? and note/gate comes from the keyboard, but is only affective when there is an emitter... uh... situation?... setup for the note/gate to interact with? can emitters be addressed on different midi channels for keyboard splits/multi track sequencing? any future plans for mpe? did i ask enough questions?
No. Can u plz ask more
@@RedMeansRecording sure: cake or death?
Hi there, can it be powered with a power bank?
I'm so excited to get my first batch unit I might throw up
The interface reminds me of my old tenori on
Fr
First demo looked much more wild/fun...did something get lost/dumbed down from the initial prototype?
No
Thanks for your reply, thats re-affirming!
Weird…I had the same feeling. Cannot pinpoint it however.
Jeremy! No idea if you ever tried a norns shield? Think you might be into it :)
I have one and plan to investigate it in 2024
@@RedMeansRecording that really rustles my jimmies out of excitement
Now i know what to pair with my linnstrument..)
And wish it has self powered or i can use powerbank to juse it..)…its wants to be portable and autonomous..)
I recently found that it powered by powerbank..)…
This is very cool, and really in depth dive into the hardware. Granular synthesis is still a bit of a black box to me...but this makes it very tempting to use it more. The multitimbral examples are phenomenal.
Now that it's out... Looks and sounds even more amazing... and yet... PART of me wonders... How difficult would this be to make as an iOS app? (Sorry... I know... I know... horriblethoughtpatterns... LOL!)
Either way... I want one 'cause - you know... Dedicated knobs and blinky-lights. ;-)
man I really wanna see you create stuff with Teenage Engineering OB-4 there are no great content on RUclips about magical radio thing
Hm.. following your steps..new canvas, loaded a sample in slot 1, but when I touch the grid (1st emitter) I dont hear a sound.. what am I doing wrong?
Can we hear it play drums?
