TASCAM TA-1VP
Peaking Filter ª
EQ1 Peaking
f: 884 Q:2.4 Gn:-10
This is the traditional fully parametric EQ. The filter boosts
or cuts the signal at frequency “f” by the Gain (“Gn”)
amount (in dB). Additionally, you can vary the bandwidth
of the peak or dip with the “Q” control (higher Q =
narrower bandwidth).
The default settings are:
f: 6977
Q: .71
Gn: +3
Notch Filter ª
EQ1 Notch
f: 3775 Q:5.8
The Notch Filter passes all frequencies except for a band
centered around frequency “f,” which is sharply attenuated.
The setting of the “Q” control determines the width of the
notch (higher Q = narrower notch). (The default frequency
setting is 6977 and the default Q setting is .71.)
Band Pass Filter ª
EQ1 Band Pass
f: 1277 Q:8.4
The Band Pass filter sharply attenuates all frequencies
except for a band centered around frequency “f.” The
setting of the “Q” control determines the width of the
pass band (higher Q = narrower pass band). (The default
frequeny setting is 6977 and the default Q setting is .71.)
Low Pass Filters ª
EQ1 Low Pass 6dB
f: 6087
EQ1 Low Pass 12dB
f: 6087 Q:2.8
These filters pass signal below the cutoff frequency “f” and
roll off signal above “f” at either 6 dB or 12 dB per octave.
The 12 dB filter’s “Q” control allows you to add a variable
height peak at the filter’s cut-off frequency. (The default
frequeny setting for 6 dB and 12 dB is 6977 and the
default Q setting for 12 dB is .71.)
As you would expect, the 12 dB/octave filter provides
greater attenuation of signals above “f” and is useful for
reducing hiss or other high frequency environmental
noise encountered in the recording process.
High Pass Filters ª
EQ1 High Pass 6dB
f: 3775
EQ1 High Pass 12dB
f: 3775 Q:2.8
These filters pass signal above the cutoff frequency “f” and
roll off signal below “f” at either 6 dB or 12 dB per octave.
The 12 dB filter’s “Q” control allows you to add a variable
height peak at the filter’s cut-off frequency. (The default
frequeny setting for 6 dB and 12 dB is 6977 and the
default Qsetting for 12 dB is .71.)
As you would expect, the 12 dB/octave filter provides
greater attenuation of signals below “f” and is useful for
reducing sub-sonic noise, rumble, mic stand noise or
other low frequency environmental noise encountered in
the recording process.
EQ #2 Page ª
Pressing the EQ BAND 2 button brings up this page:
EQ2 Peaking
f: 7725 Q:2.4 Gn:+12
This page allows you to select the type and set the
parameters of the second equalizer band. The available
options are identical to EQ Band #1 described above. (The
default EQ2 setting is OFF.)
EQ ON Button ª
When this button is lit, the EQ module is active. When
it is not lit, the module is bypassed. Pressing the button
toggles its state. The EQ On/Off function can also be
controlled by MIDI and/or by a footswitch.
Double Track Page ª
Pressing the DBL TRACK button brings up this page:
The TA-1VP’s Double Track function let’s you create the
effect of two not-quite-identical versions of the same
performance being played in unison. These tracks can
appear together at the main output or can be routed to
independent outputs for subsequent processing and
mixing.
