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.
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.
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?
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.
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!
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
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
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.
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 ? 🧐
Coming here from mr bill podcast. Interested in checking out the channel! Would def be interested in genre history deep dive kinda stuff. Electronic music history fan (John Cage, Musique concrète, etc), myself.
Just got my Tempera today. Trying to follow along, but when i go to System, there is no empty canvas option 😢 Nevermind, found it with the up and down scroll buttons on the right of the screens
@@RedMeansRecording wait, what? i was going to ask this, but i didn't think it had it. is it for recording samples only? i'm assuming it can't process live audio?
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 👍🏻
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.👍
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 😻
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'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)
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!
@@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.
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. ;-)
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.
Jeremy, did you credit all the manufacturers of those objects around you? You have two options 1) remove them 2) credit the manufacturers with a link to their sites Bye.
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?
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...
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”.
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)
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
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!
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.

I WILL NOT
I think it even has some randomization for you Mister Sink.
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.
This seems like the logical progression for granular Synthesis. It lends itself to the experimentation that granular is already perfectly for.
Absolutely brilliant. The best way to maximize granular synthesis’s parameters. This feels/sounds more like an instrument and less like a sampler. ❤️
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 😎

I just wanna say that the sound editing around the 7 minute mark was so perfect and made my day, lol

Pre-ordered this as soon as they went up for PO, can’t wait! Thanks for the in-depth review/tutorial.

I just ordered one and I can't WAIIITTTT
Any word on MIDI implementation? Do you know if it has program change / recallable presets?
Absolutely amazing! magical box of wonders and inspiring sounds, awaiting shipment of mine, really looking forward to it!
Finally some complexity ❤🔥❤🔥
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.
That horror one sounded so much like the spoopy Zelda dungeons, very good.
In case anyone was wondering, it's 800 Euros,
and the first batch is sold out, with the next batch scheduled for February 2024.
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
Very cool. If I had more money than sense, I'd be all over this...
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 ✨
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.
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.

The interface reminds me of my old tenori on

I'm so excited to get my first batch unit I might throw up
I love the fact that you can actually... play this as an instrument. That tactile panel asks for it.

man I really wanna see you create stuff with Teenage Engineering OB-4 there are no great content on TH-cam about magical radio thing
what about audio input?
Yes

Okay, we need a song, practical application please?
Hmmm Shrimp Tempura
Just unsubscribed, due to the fiasco u made at Synthtopia, good luck.
This reminds me of a mini Korg Wavestate. Better material design would make this.
$700 one trick pony?😂
Okay i guess i must turn to crime now, since my job isn't gonna pay me any more than they do.
You sunk my battleship!

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.

here is a fine example of a 21st century instrument
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!
Thanks Jeremy. I’m just waiting for my order to show up. 😊
Are the samples loaded into the tempera independent from the keyboard? Or they always play from the keyboard through the tempera?
Thanks for the demo.

A beautiful interface.
love seeing you champion projects you believe in
This is so cool.

And wish it has self powered or i can use powerbank to juse it..)…its wants to be portable and autonomous..)

looks and sounds lovely - I'm curious/puzzled about the tempo being dependent on the pitch - is it possible to have time stretching?
Nice instrument and the creator made very good decision to involve you in design process. Great video too. Thanks!

@Jeremy - I found this video via your complaint on Synthtopia. Great vid! Thanks for complaining.
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?
Tempera and the M8 or Tracker Mini would be good friends
I absolutely love small gear like the Tempera
How about the sampling and resampling capabilities? How have you incorporated into eurorack?
It can do those things and I haven't
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?

That looks like a splendidly playable and innovative instrument I am very impressed!
My dude...what have I stumbled on here?? lol Thanks for the vid and keep up the good work
It was all beautiful but that "Brass/Strings" Patch @39:47 was pretty epic.
I feel like this has more of the immediate elements of the microcosm with more clear control than randomness.
I think “instant Steve Reich” is a phrase that could sell me any product lmao
This instrument reminds me of the beginning of the song Ghosts from deftones
Is this thing gonna be like Plinky and just never ever be in stock ever?
The granular vocal stuff is quite amazing.
Can you load your own samples from a zoom etc?
Been waiting for this 😈
Me like beep boop
