Tascam CD-BT1 mkII
Portable CD Bass Trainer
|
|
| From Rhonda Smith to Reggie Hamilton, it's hard to find
a professional bass player who doesn't travel with a CD-BT1.
Its successor now features Bass Enhancement including Bass
Cut and Bass Boost, more variable speeds, built-in metronome,
more controls accessible by footswitch and much more.
Easy to Learn and Use 
If you can operate a CD player, you can use the CD-BT1mkII.
Take any standard compact disc by your favorite
band and put it in the CD mechanism.
Then plug your bass directly into the CD-BT1mkII's 1/4" input.
Put on some headphones, set the volume, and start rocking! If you're
a vocalist, you can do the same, substituting your microphone for
the guitar.
Slow Down and Learn
with Slow Speed Audition feature.
In ancient times (like the
1970s), musicians would take a vinyl LP record and
manually spin the record on a turntable, slowing
it down to be able to better hear and understand the
performances,
like bass solos and complex chord changes. With the
CD-BT1mkII, you get a training method that's even
better. Not only can you slow down the speed of the
CD by up
to 50%, but you can do it without changing the pitch
of the original material! After you learn the lick
at a slow speed, you can increase the tempo in steps
until you can match the original performance note
for note. Also, you can change the pitch of the CD
without
changing the speed...use this feature to "tune
the CD" to your instrument.
Effect Yourself
The CD-BT1mkII has 16 great-sounding built-in customizable bass effects...you
don't need to turn to external boxes for chorus, EQ and more. The Bass
Boost and Enhance settings allow you to boost the bass part so that
you can hear it better, and Bass Cut lets you mute the original so
you can play along.
Performance Tools
You can set seamless in-out loop points with the CD-BT1mkII...it will
play the same section of music over and over again so you can focus
on your playing. Use the footswitch input to start and stop the CD,
or to scroll through effects. The CD-BT1mkII even provides a chromatic
tuner so you always sound great when you play, and can run on batteries
to take your show on the road. You can listen to the CD-BT1mkII via
headphones, or use its Line Output to plug in speakers.
There's never been a better or more affordable bass
training tool than the CD-BT1mkII. Get one at your
TASCAM retailer and start improving your playing today!
