Plugging In a Mic or Line Source If you are plugging in a microphone, use one of the XLR to TRS adapters that came with the 788 in the box. The 788 can accept a mic or line level input, so the adapter does not need to be an impedance converter. -

TRACK CUE section. (This gives you access to the EQ and effect sends of the 788.) To assign the tracks to the main mixer, hold down TRACK (just to the right of the input buttons) and press SELECT for channels 1 and 2. -
Page 5: Basic Editing
The three most commonly used edit functions have P 17 buttons accessible right on the front panel of the 788. We'll do a basic COPY function here, so you get the idea. The editing functions on the 788 use the IN, OUT and TO locate points. -
Page 6: Final Thoughts
Remember too that you can "punch in" on a bounce, since it is recording to a track on the 788 itself. So, if you were almost to the end before you made a bad fader move, try backing up a little bit and punch in on the recording, just as you would a vocal or guitar part. -
Page 7: Ii) Mixer Functions
ROUTING LIBRARY is global to all songs. ROUTING INPUTS & TRACKS On the surface of the 788, there are a row of buttons under the "SOURCE" grouping representing the various inputs of the 788. Directly below that is a list of buttons grouped as "ASSIGN". -
Page 8: Mixer Functions
INPUT D. The routing is verified by LEDs when you make the selection. Whenever you route an input to a channel, the 788 will automatically disengage both the input and the channel from any previous assignment so that you don't have to worry about double routings. -
Page 9: Effects & Aux Sends
The low shelf does the same thing, but the shape is inverted. On the 788, the high and low bands are shelf bands, with a sweepable center frequency. Effect & Aux Sends The EFFECT SEND and AUX SEND operate similarly to each other, although they are not identical. -

The fader level can only be changed with the physical fader on the 788; this fader level display is only for your information or session notes. The screen at the left shows what the screen will look like if the channels are linked. -
Page 11: Routing & Scene Libraries
ROUTING & SCENE LIBRARIES As easy as the signal routing is on the 788 with the controls on the surface of the recorder, it is sometimes easier to just recall a set-up from a preestablished library. -
Page 12: Bouncing Tracks
You don't need to start over. FADER MATCHING Since scenes can be recalled in the 788, the level of the physical fader on the 788 may not match the level the fader is being processed at. -

Page 14: Basic Recorder Functions
Locate points can be used to directly recall a particular time location in the song, allowing faster and more accurate project navigation than the traditional fast forward and rewind. The 788 can store up to 999 locate points for each song, so you won't run short on memory points. - Page 15 To save your new location, press ENTER/YES. If you want to get out of this screen without changing anything, press EXIT/NO. TASCAM 788 Operational Tutorial • 8/2000 Edition (Continued) While 999 locate points will probably mean you won't...

Recording & Editing Functions (Continued) PITCH CONTROL / SSA The 788 has two different types of speed control: PITCH CONTROL and SSA. PITCH CONTROL simulates a tape machine's pitch adjustment, which will alter the speed and pitch at the same time of up to ±6%. SSA stands... -
Page 19: Formatting Hard Drives
FORMATTING DRIVES The 788 can record on its internal hard drive, or an external hard drive. The size of the recording space cannot exceed 4GB (4 gigabytes). If you are using drives larger than 4GB, you can break the drive into a series of 4GB or smaller "partitions". -
Page 20: Iv) Built-In Effect Processing
ROUTING EFFECTS Assigning effect routing can be done totally from the surface of the 788. Simply press the button of the effect processor, and the button for the destination. (The source and destination buttons must be pressed simultaneously.) To assign EFFECT 2 as a Stereo Dynamic Processor, Press EFFECT 2 and STEREO simultaneously. -
Page 21: Controlling Effects
Again, each of the types of processors will have their own libraries, and the 788 will automatically send you to the correct one for the type of processor you are using. So, if you using the multieffect chain, you will be directed to the multieffect library. - Page 22 (AUX SEND or EFFECT SEND), then that send will not return to the STEREO BUSS. (AUX SEND will still feed the AUX OUTPUT on the back panel of the 788.) 2) If you want to get both EFFECT SEND and AUX SEND out of the 788 independently, we do have a way of doing that.

Page 25: Vi) Midi Functions
MIDI FUNCTIONS OVERVIEW MIDI IN and OUT ports are provided on the 788 for a variety of control and synchronization functions. The MIDI OUT port can be used to transmit MIDI Clock or MIDI Time Code for synchronizing drum machines, sequencers, or MIDI workstations without using a track or purchasing extra synchronization boxes. -
Page 26: Midi Time Code (Mtc)
In the MIDI Time Code sync chain, the 788 should probably be the master. Your sequencers and other workstations should chase the 788. Probably the only time you will want the 788 to chase MTC is if you are locking multiple 788s (or similar machines) together. MTC Offset Explained The 788 time readout always starts at a time location of 00:00:00:00. -

I can’t hear the 788’s metronome. There are a couple of settings that affect the metronome: First, check to make sure that the 788 is set to generate MIDI Clock. The metronome timing is generated from the MIDI Clock logic, and will not work in any other setting. -

EFFECT 1 as an insert processor, the first aux send doesn't feed anything. You may want to bring the send out of the 788 so you can process it with an external effect processor. You can set the MONITOR OUTPUT to monitor the EFFECT SEND. - Page 33 TEAC AUSTRALIA PTY.,LTD. A.C.N. 005 408 462 Phone: (03) 9644-2442 TEAC ITALIANA S.p.A.
