Tascam MPGT1 MP3 Guitar Trainer
TASCAM's MP-GT1 is the first MP3 player designed for musicians. Based on the award-winning CD-GT1mkII, this fun mobile guitar trainer includes enough memory to store up to 240 songs. Guitar parts can be slowed down, looped and even eliminated to help you learn new riffs. Play back MP3s using Variable Speed Audition, which slows down the speed without changing the pitch, and sections can be seamlessly looped while practicing tricky passages. Songs can even be pitched up or down to match the tuning of your guitar, so you don't have to re-tune for every song.
# 240-song memory capacity (based on average 4-minute MP3 encoded at 128kbps)
# Variable Speed Audition changes the speed of the MP3 playback without changing the pitch
# Pitch control in 1% steps so you don't have to re-tune
# Seamless looping for practicing tricky passages
# High-impedance 1/4" guitar input
# Guitar multi-effects include overdrive, distortion, delay, flange, reverb and more
# Guitar Cancel effect eliminates the guitar part from the recorded song so you can play along
# Built-in tuner, oscillator and metronome
# 1/8" Headphone output
# Built-in rechargeable battery with 9-hour reserve
# 128x64 graphic LCD display
# USB jack
# Auto Power Off and Hold function
The guitar input lets you rock along with thick overdrive and multi-effects, including a guitar canceller so you can play along with your favorite bands. A tuner, metronome, and rechargeable battery are also built-in. All of this is packed into an MP3 player smaller than a stomp box, so stuff it in your backpack, gig bag or back pocket and hit the road.
The MP-GT1 uses a high-speed USB connection to load up MP3s and charge the built-in battery (an optional power supply is also available). Zip through your MP3 collection using a data wheel, dedicated buttons and a graphical LCD display. A rechargeable 9-hour lithium ion battery is built into the unit, and an optional power supply is also available.
I currently use a TASCAM MD-350 Minidisc Deck to play backing tracks at gigs. I am beginning to replace Midi Files backing tracks with Mp3 backing tracks. What device will suit best? It's been suggested that a small laptop with i-tunes is the way to go. I can connect the laptop to the mixing desk and can make set lists which will be a lot easier to read because of the laptops larger screen. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated. Thanks!
