Tascam SX-1 How to use

Welcome to the TASCAM SX-1LE
Welcome to the TASCAM SX-1LE 1
The following features of the SX-1 have been
omitted from the SX-1LE. See below for informa-
tion on adding these features to your SX-1LE.
Fast/Wide SCSI Port:
The SX-1LE uses IDE for its internal hard drive
and CD-RW drive. Unlike the SX-1, there is
no SCSI port available for adding external
drives.
512MB of memory:
The SX-1LE’s memory is 256MB, allowing
waveform display of projects up to 720 track
minutes (that’s 45 minutes of 16 tracks.) Less
tracks equals longer recording time with
waveform display (90 minutes at 8 tracks,
etc.)
RS-422 Control:
The SX-1is capable of interfacing with other
equipment using the RS-422 (Sony P2) pro-
tocol.
Video Sync Input:
The video sync input of the SX-1allows it to
lock with frame resolve to a video reference
such as a house video blackburst generator.
LTC Output:
The SX-1has an LTC output port to send SMPTE
timecode to devices for synchronization. The
SX-1LE still has an LTC input port, so it can
chase SMPTE, but no output port.
Antares Mic and Speaker Modeling plug-ins:
These flexible modeling plug-ins are not in-
cluded in the SX-1LE.
TC Works SX-1Reverb:
This plug-in has been replaced by the ver-
satile new TASCAM Reverb plug-in, with 26
all-new presets.
Optional Features
The TASCAM SX-1LE is a special edition of the renowned SX-1Digital Production Environment.
This document is designed to explain the differences between the two models and how you can
upgrade your SX-1LE to get the SX-1features you might need later on.

Welcome to the TASCAM SX-1LE 2
The SX-1LE comes with the same documenta-
tion as the SX-1, including the updates for the
version 1.50 operating system update. Disregard
any of the instructions that mention the op-
tional features listed on page one if they have
not been installed.
The user interface of the SX-1LE is identical to
the SX-1, with the exception of the Video Clock
indicator on the front panel.
Documentation
Compatibility
Projects created on an SX-1with any OS (ver-
sion 1.00, 1.10 or 1.50) can be used on the SX-1LE
and vice-versa. Projects can be shared between
one SX-1 and another using the “Project Backup
to CD” function.
Projects saved using SX-1version 1.50 cannot
be opened by devices running SX-1version 1.00
or 1.10. Contact TASCAM for a software update
to version 1.50.
If a project is loaded that calls for an effect
not loaded on that machine, the plug-in effects
will show up as empty effects slots. When the
session is saved and reopened on the original
machine, the effects slots will still appear as
empty slots.
