The Tascam PT-7 is a unique tool enabling musicians to comfortably practice singing or playing variable-pitch instruments in order to improve their intonation. It combines a high-speed chromatic tuner with metronome and a digital audio recorder to capture a training session and review the results. The detected pitch is displayed on a large LC display during recording or playback. Or the unit can be used without the recording feature as a metronome or as a simple but fast tuner.
With the PT-7, you can instantly record about 20 minutes of your training session in high quality. Watch your intonation directly on the display while recording your performance or while playing back what you just recorded. You can even play back your performance with corrected pitch according to the selected scale! Use the internal loudspeaker for playback or use your own amplifier or headphones and activate the Loop and VSA functions to further examine your performance.
The tuner section offers nine musical scales with calibration while the metronome is able to play from 30 to 300 bpm in one of six time signatures. Tempo can also be set by a tap function and all the settings and readings are clearly visible on the large backlit diplay.
If you want to hone your musical skills to perfection – the PT-7 might be the right tool for you.
