Tascam Pocketstudio 5
4-Track Recorder/MIDI Arranger/MP3 Encoder

Pocketstudio 5 is an ultra-compact multitrack digital recorder which uses innovative CompactFlash cards for storing music. In addition to its four audio tracks for vocals, guitars and other instruments, Pocketstudio 5 also features a high-quality internal synthesizer module, allowing the user to play back sequences along with audio tracks.

Tascam's Pocketstudio 5 also includes 100 standard MIDI files that allow users to be able to quickly audition the capabilities of the recorder by playing an instrument over the built-in background music. Plus, users can create new compositions with the Pocketstudio 5 using these files, since each comprises six standard song components (Intro, Verse 1, Verse 2, Fill 1, Fill 2 and End) which can be rearranged. Its high-quality internal synthesizer module allows playback of any sequence in the Standard MIDI file format.

The Pocketstudio 5 also allows people to create a final stereo mix in MP3 format which can be sent to personal computers via its USB port and subsequently posted on web sites and emailed to friends and collaborators. Also, this capability allows the Pocketstudio 5 to also be used as a portable MP3 player.

As a digital recorder, editing capabilities like auto punch in/out, copy/paste editing of audio and MIDI tracks using bars-and-beats and track bouncing are easily accomplished.

The Pocketstudio 5 is truly a portable digital recording solution, with its compact design and its ability to run for two hours using six standard AA-sized alkaline batteries. It also includes an AC power supply, a 32MB Compact Flash card, and a headset microphone to supplement its built-in condenser mic.
