2488 24-track, 24-bit, 36-channel Digital PortaStudio with built-in CD-RW drive
T
wenty-four. Finally everyone can have access to the magic number of tracks that’s the professional industry standard! Twenty-five years after the first 4-track cassette tape Portastudio comes the incredible 2488. It’s by far the most affordable 24track recording and mixing workstation ever made for home studios — and the only model within three times its price range that can truly do 24 tracks of 24-bit 44.1kHz recording. Eight inputs can be simultaneously recorded into the XLR and W" inputs. Twenty physical faders control the mixdown channels; each channel has 3-band EQ and access to three built-in effects processors. A large internal hard disk gives the user ample space for multiple 24-track songs and virtual tracks for comping. Plus the 2488 has a USB 2.0 port for back-up via home computer. The 2488’s Standard MIDI player and General MIDI sound module provide an additional stereo sound source for fuller arrangements. Complete waveform editing including cut/copy/paste/loop gives the user DAW-like flexibility for building that next hit recording. And for the final mix, the built-in CD-RW drive can turn your 2-track master mixdown into a Red Book CD, or use it to back up the hard drive or import and export WAV files.

US-2400 DAW Controller with 25 100mm motorized faders

he worlds most powerful sampler has just gotten better! The new GS3 comes in three paradigms Orchestra, Ensemble and Solo each perfectly fitted to compose for their performance product name. All of the GS3 versions have undergone a complete overhaul with a new GUI and the added functionality of ReWire, VST FX, and a new GigaPiano 2. The GS3.gig sample format has also experienced a ground up redesign with 24 bit/96kHz support, 128 dimension controllers, ability to embed surround convolution reverb and the addition of Intelligent MIDI rules. GigaStudio 3.0 is the world’s most advanced disk streaming, real time surround convolution, ReWired sampling solution this planet has ever experienced. ˘ Unlimited Polyphony – Instead of a maximum
160 voices, polyphony limits are limited only by the number of drives, drive speed, and processor speed your system has (Giga 3.o Orchestra)
˘ ReWire – GigaStudio 3.0 supports ReWire routing
of audio streams into applications such as DAW software like Cubase™, Nuendo® and Sonar™. MIDI from the DAW is routed to GigaStudio. ReWire allows audio generated from GigaStudio to be sent into the DAW application where it automatically shows up on faders within the DAW’s mixer section.
˘ New DSP Station – The GigaStudio mixer section
has expanded to 128 channels and an additional 32 channels of group faders and features an expanded processing section including a 4-band EQ and compressor on each channel
GigaStudio 3.0
˘ Quick Edit control – Parameters like tuning,
envelopes, filters, attenuation, and sample offset are at your fingertips in real-time without having to go into the instrument editor
˘ GSIF 2.0 with Kernel Level
MIDI and support for 8 channels of audio input amd 32 channels of output. Any of the DSP Station’s 128 channels can be made active to support input from an outside source; our revolutionary kernel-level audio engine is now available for incoming MIDI streams
˘ Sample developers now
have the ability to encode their instruments with acoustic space/reverb convolution and mic modeling using GigaPulse™ Pro included with GigaStudio Orchestra. That encoded
N
ow you can use your mouse for what it’s good at and use a control surface for what it’s good at: hands-on mixing with lots of real faders, knobs & buttons. The TASCAM US-2400 is the first DAW fader controller with enough faders to handle a typical recording session — and feel like a real mixing console — without lots of bank switching. The US-2400 features 24 touch-sensitive moving channel faders and a touch-sensitive motorized master fader, each with 10-bit resolution for precise level control. Each channel has dedicated select, solo and mute controls. Twenty-four rotary encoders are provided, selectable to control pan or up to 8 aux sends. Plus all 24 encoders can also be employed as one large channel strip for four-band EQ, aux and pan control. Each encoder has a ring of LEDs that can display the current setting or double as channel meters during recording and playback. A set of solid-feeling transport buttons are also provided, as well as a shuttle wheel and a joystick for surround panning. Compare it to any other controller on the market today (and the extra expanders you’d have to buy to get 24 motorized faders) and you’ll discover that the US-2400 gives you more for control for the money.
˘ VST plug-in hosting ˘ Intelligent MIDI – New controller rules including

TT-M1 CD Scratch Controller for DJ Turntables
N
o wonder TT-M1 stands for “turntable Magic.” It retrofits onto the edge of just about any standard DJ turntable to control the CD-X1500 and CD-X1700 CD players. The compact, durable TT-M1 requires no additional special audio hook-ups, no computer, and no special vinyl records — you may even scratch with your turntable’s slipmat if you like! Once fitted to your turntable (you can still use your tone arm), the new TT-M1 lets you use turntable
controls such as start/stop, tempo slider, power on/off for winding down and winding up, and of course the turntable platter for scratching, pitch bending and back-spinning all to control CD audio. ˘ Retrofits to a wide variety of popular
DJ turntables with no additional audio hook-ups, computer or coded vinyl
˘ Use DJ turntable platter and controls
such as start/stop, tempo slider, power on/off to control CD audio
˘ Can also work without a turntable

CD-X1700 & CD-X1500 Dual-CD Players
˘ Real Time Surround Convolution
content can be played back in any level of GigaStudio via GigaPulse™ SP. Up to seven channels of convolution is supported for surround applications. Resonant body modeling, added to mic modeling and reverb convolution takes sampled instruments to new heights of realism and represents the next major step in sampled instruments like GigaPiano 2.

DJ with a spreadsheet? Strange but true. We created a chart of every competitive dual-CD player and then set out to beat ‘em with more features at lower prices. The result are the CD-X1500 and CD-X1700. All the necessary features a pro DJ expects such as seampless looping, key original (master temp) 3 hot start/cue points, relay play and anti-shock buffer. Plus a whole lot more. In addition to all CD-X1500 features, the top-of-the-line CD-X1700 also has a larger jogwheel, reverse playback, onboard multi-effects, Key Original (master tempo) in all tempo ranges up to 100%, and a dedicated 10 second sampler on each side of the controller. The CD-X1700 can also play back MP3 encoded CDs with pitch bending and tempo change. Both the CD-X1700 and CDX-1500 support our new TT-M1 scratch controller that allows you to control the CD audio with many popular DJ turntables.

ven the most “realistic” conventional reverb generators are just a series of synthetic, digital delays looped together. Convolution offers a better way to produce reverb by using an actual recording of a room, much like samplers use a guitar or a drum set recording to create realistic instrument sounds.
TASCAM’s new GigaPulse™ VST is a real-time convolution reverb plug-in for Windows®. It generates the most lifelike room impulses ever by using recordings made in real acoustic spaces. Plus it includes the tools to convert your own sampled rooms to GigaPulse format.
