Settings Settings

It is possible to adjust many system-wide parameters. These are saved automatically every time the Settings Settings menu is exited, such as going from Settings to Emitters Emitters or Tracks Tracks.

  • Rec source determines the audio input type and gain.

  • When a track is armed and input audio volume exceeds the Rec threshold, Tempera will begin recording.

  • Rec monitor adjusts how much of audio input is sent directly to audio output. This can be used to monitor while recording, or as audio pass-through.

  • There are several Recording modes:

    • Overdub to add audio input to the track

    • Replace existing audio in the track

    • Mix audio input and original. This is similar to Overdub except after each recording the oldest audio is gradually decreases in volume

  • Pitchbend size can be adjusted in semitones.

  • Midi thru enables direct passing of MIDI messages between MIDI TRS ports (IN to OUT).

  • Clock source determines if Tempera will Send or Receive midi clock at 24 PPQN (pulses per quarter note), or run on Internal clock.

  • Set global BPM. The value will change automatically when Clock source is set to Receive once MIDI clock is detected.

  • Wiring of the MIDI TRS jacks is switchable between Type A and Type B.

  • Velocity curve of incoming MIDI notes can be set to Linear, Exp (exponential), Rev exp (reverse exponential) or Fixed (velocity is ignored).

  • LED light adjusts the brightness of the touchgrid and encoder backlight.

  • Display light dims the OLED displays.

  • Audition volume sets the volume of listening to / previewing audio samples in the Tracks Tracks menu.

  • Max volume sets the volume of Tempera’s main audio output

  • SD Card Eject and Flashdrive Eject should be used before unplugging the external media to avoid data corruption.

  • When Micro SD card USB bridge is activated, the micro SD card inserted into Tempera will be bridged over the USB cable to a computer as a mass storage device. See the External storage section for more information.

  • All global settings can be Reset to default configuration.

  • The MIDI channel on which Tempera receives MIDI messages can be set to any of 1 to 16 or All.

  • Enable or disable the Grid idle splash animation after a timeout. The displays will still go blank.

  • Emitter x-scroll determines if cycling the pages of an emitter’s configuration will scroll through to the next emitter after reaching the final page.
