The TASCAM 644 MIDIStudio is an innovative cassette-based multitrack recording system that flawlessly integrates analog and MIDI sources into a single production environment. As the nucleus of a sophisticated studio setup, the 644 MIDIStudio incorporates a high-performance internal MIDI tape synchroniser, allowing you to plug your MIDI sequencer, computer or rhythm machine directly into the unit for seamless, SMPTE-lock synchronization.
The TASCAM 644’s dual-mix architecture effectively doubles your input capacity, offering 16 inputs across eight channels routed into four group busses, and a unique Scene Display system with recall memory and full MIDI control. Two inputs per channel (MIC/LINE A with TRIM control and LINE B) feed a three-band EQ stage with sweepable mid frequency on each main channel, while two AUX sends, an INSERT patch point on every channel and four fully assignable effect returns provide extensive routing and processing flexibility.
Real-time MIDI-controlled channel mute automation, a 99-scene memory and precise editing controls enhance creative workflow and productivity, making the TASCAM 644 MIDIStudio ideal for hybrid analogue-MIDI production.
