TASCAM TA-1VP Overview

Learn from B&H Experts

From Manufacturer

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.

TASCAM TA-1VP Reviews

Surpassing Expectations

The Tascam TA-1VP was far more than I what I expected. With a surprising number of features, it not only surpassed my expectations, but startling so! There's plenty of room to grow here - and for a very affordable price.

question

can I run the ta-1vp vocal processor in conjunction with my live 3 vocal processor. I don't want to lost the harmony capabilities. is your unit at 218.00 used, everyone else is at 399.00?thank you, Greg
Asked by: greg v.
The Tascam TA-1VP is a new factory sealed unit. Used items are only available from our Used Department, and will be clearly labeled as such. This unit can be used in conjunction with another vocal processor, but might be best inserted into the chain before any harmony processor as best results are achieved on a single voice and not on polyphonic sources.

If using this unit in a live setting, can I just use the chromatic scale on a single vocal and play songs in different keys?
Asked by: Steve
Yes, the TASCAM TA-1VP can be used to tune a vocal to the chromatic scale, which would allow flexible pitch correction within western musical styles.

question

Can each of these features: microphone preamp, compressor, de-esser, microphone and tube modeling, and pitch correction processing) be saved and recalled as 1 ballpark setting per performer, or only recallable settings in each of the modules?
Asked by: Bryan W.
Yes all the settings can be stored/ each of the modules
