Tascam SX-1 Release Notes

Welcome to the TASCAM SX-1LE
The TASCAM SX-1LE is a special edition of the renowned SX-1 Digital Production Environment.
This document is designed to explain the differences between the two models and how you can
upgrade your SX-1LE to get the SX-1 features you might need later on.

Optional Features

The following features of the SX-1 have been
omitted from the SX-1LE. See below for informa-
tion on adding these features to your SX-1LE.
Fast/Wide SCSI Port:
The SX-1LE uses IDE for its internal hard drive
and CD-RW drive. Unlike the SX-1, there is
no SCSI port available for adding external
drives.
512MB of memory:
The SX-1LE's memory is 256MB, allowing
waveform display of projects up to 720 track
minutes (that's 45 minutes of 16 tracks.) Less
tracks equals longer recording time with
waveform display (90 minutes at 8 tracks,
etc.)
RS-422 Control:
The SX-1 is capable of interfacing with other
equipment using the RS-422 (Sony P2) pro-
tocol.

Ordering Information

To order the above optional features in the
USA:
If you wish to add any or all of the above
features to your SX-1LE, contact your TASCAM
dealer and ask them to order the above upgrade
kit from TASCAM.
Video Sync Input:
The video sync input of the SX-1 allows it to
lock with frame resolve to a video reference
such as a house video blackburst generator.
LTC Output:
The SX-1 has an LTC output port to send SMPTE
timecode to devices for synchronization. The
SX-1LE still has an LTC input port, so it can
chase SMPTE, but no output port.
Antares Mic and Speaker Modeling plug-ins:
These flexible modeling plug-ins are not in-
cluded in the SX-1LE.
TC Works SX-1 Reverb:
This plug-in has been replaced by the ver-
satile new TASCAM Reverb plug-in, with 26
all-new presets.
