Tascam TA-1VP - Vocal Processor
The TA-1VP from Tascam is a vocal processor utilizing Antares' technologies (AutoTune and Mic Modeler) to deliver everything needed for a polished, modern vocal sound. The rack-mount unit includes a microphone preamp, compressor, de-esser, microphone and tube modeling, and pitch correction processing.
An XLR microphone input with switchable phantom power is available on the front panel, suitable for use with condenser microphones. Processing is laid out in simple-to-use blocks on the front panel, each with dedicated buttons and meters that display exactly what's being done to the signal at any point in the signal chain.
Antares' microphone and tube modeling can impart the character of another microphone if required, with a library of classic microphone models to choose from. A de-esser module removes sibilance from the signal before being sent on to a variable-knee compressor and gate. Digital EQ is last process in the chain before output.
The Auto-Tune module can be set for any level of pitch correction, in a variety of user-selectable scales. All settings can be recalled through presets on the front panel or through MIDI. Balanced TRS input and outputs are located on the rear panel, including a "Double Track" output for simulating doubled vocals. S/PDIF digital output is also available.

Comments about Tascam TA-1VP - Vocal Processor:
I haven't found anything wrong with this processor yet. We bought it primarily for an inexpensive way to get some autotune effects, but there is much more that this unit does for us. We decided not to rack mount the unit as we use it in three venues at our church and wanted the versatility of moving it around.

Comments about Tascam TA-1VP - Vocal Processor:
I recieved this just a week or two ago, and to be honest with ya, there is not to many reviews out there. I have been doing live sound for 4 years. I am very impressed with the functionality and features that this unit offers. Even without the autotune, it has the meat and potatoes inside to make your audio shine, if it be a drum or a Lead singer....this baby delivers! I am so impressed with the clarity and pressence that this one unit gives you. The foot pedal input is awesome for onstage performances. Like I said......WELL WORTH MORE THAN WHAT YOU PAY! Its like one of those things that you spend months discovering the little ways to tweak things, that just keep providing awesome audio! If you are on the fence, there is no reason to hold yourself back! Just get it and pat yourself on the back. Everyone else will!
