Tempera Granular Synth Gets Major Firmware v2.0 Update
Beetlecrab has released a major firmware update for Tempera, its 16-voice polyphonic granular synthesizer.
The update introduces new synthesis capabilities, an updated reverb, workflow improvements and more.
New in Tempera firmware v2.0:
- Per-emitter FX send level: Adjust the amount of effects applied to each emitter for eg. better separation of percussive and tonal sounds. Layering complex sounds has become much easier.
- Double the amount of modulators: From 5 per voice to 10 per voice.
- Relative X and Y scrubbing: Easily grain-scrub in two dimensions across the touch grid surface. Perfect pairing for the Tempera concept.
- Adjustable LED and emitter colors: Personalize the look of your Tempera, including having better color separation for those of us with a different color perception.
- Improved onboard keyboard: The new chromatic piano-like keyboard layout has better usability and clear visual feedback for standalone operation.
- Quantized random grain detune: Grains’ random detune can now be quantized to fifths, octaves, or both, providing a natural shimmer or extra harmony.
- Reverb upgrade: The new reverb algorithm provides richer and smoother reflections, and faster diffuse properties. Perfect for lush and wide soundscapes.
- Modulator visualization: Modulators now provide improved visual feedback so it’s easier to get a clear picture of their behavior.
- Stable and reliable MIDI clock sync: Improved clock BPM detection, MIDI clock sync is now durable and reliable.
- Canvas quicksave: Save your project (“canvas” in Tempera lore) immediately with a quick and handy shortcut.
- New shortcut for emitter editing: Newly added shortcut makes it easier to edit, cycle and organize emitter configurations.
- New global MIDI channel parameter: Integrate Tempera easily into a bigger setup, while allowing for per-emitter MIDI channels.
- Delay upgrade: A dot mode is added, along with smoother filter coloring
- Bug fixes & polishing: The amount of bugs fixed, streamlining and polishing is too long to list. ????
Tempera is available now for $720. The firmware update is a free download for existing owners.
