Tascam SX-1 Release Notes

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-1 is capable of interfacing with other 

equipment using the RS-422 (Sony P2) pro-

tocol.  

Video Sync Input:

The video sync input of the SX-1 allows it to 

lock with frame resolve to a video reference 

such as a house video blackburst generator.

LTC Output:

The SX-1 has 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-1 Reverb:

This plug-in has been replaced by the ver-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-1 Digital Production Environment.
