Welcome to the TASCAM Model 12 Integrated Production Suite.
TASCAM’s Model 12 is a compact, all-in-one integrated mixer designed for music and multimedia creators.
Model 12 has a major firmware update called VAMP.
VAMP in musical terms means to repeat or loop a section of music
over and over in real time and then continue on.
VAMP is great for live performance, rehearsing, learning, final mastering, and more.
Let’s check it out.
Once you update your Model 12 firmware, you will see the new VAMP function in the menu.
The new VAMP function allows up to 10 pairs of start and end points to be saved to the file per song.
Each VAMP loop on a song is independent of each other.
And the coolest thing is VAMP even works on multitrack files as well as stereo files.
Here we have a commercial multitrack file on the SD card.
I’ll play back some of the song so you can hear and see that it’s a true multitrack.

To set the VAMP in and out points, we press the in point,
then the out point, real time, while the song plays.
Once I set the end point, the song jumps to the in point so we can hear the loop.
Model 12 automatically calculates the tempo
so it will find the correct in and out points automatically if I am close.
Let’s set VAMP 1.

Now let’s set a second VAMP loop.

I set up two independent VAMPS.
Remember you can have up to 10 VAMPS per song.
Let’s set the song to the beginning
and I’ll control the VAMPS with the optional RC-1F footswitch.
