It's a hardware sequencer - a Yamaha RM1x. Thanks. I'll look at that too.

Hi, I don't think it's that. The volume drop happens when I've just got the DR770 playing by itself through a mixer, connected to a sequencer, with the recorder switched off. And I don't get this problem if I substitute a sampler for the DR770. I had a reply on another site suggesting it could...

I have a Boss DR770 on which the volume drops considerably when I connect it up to a sequencer or drum pad. I'm following all the syncing instructions as far as I'm aware. The DR770 is still useable when Midi-d up but I have to up the volume so much on the mixer that I get lots of unwanted...

You have to load them as real tracks then delete them. Then reload the track you want to keep.

I've got the DD55. It's quite good. You can learn the basics on it - Kick drum, snare, hi-hat. The hi-hat pad is in the wrong place though. So I bought a real hi-hat stand and hats. Trouble is I enjoy playing it so much, now I want a real kit.

For a long time I wished I hadn't bought the 770. It sounded less realistic than the 550 Mk1 I'd had for years. Then I got into serious editing of the snares, kicks, toms and hi-hats. Now, I love it. For rock the 770 can sound very convincing.

I don't think connecting a sequencer to the 788 would help you. Unless there's something I don't know about, or have misunderstood, connecting a sequencer to the 788 would give you no more functionality than pressing PLAY on the 788. From what I know of the 788 I can't see it in a live...

How are you planning to use it? I have a Yamaha RM1x which I think is a great sequencer. I've used it with the 788, thought not connected up to it, just using the RM1x to run all my Midi instruments and record them on the 788.

The only cable you need is the SCSI cable connecting the 788 and the burner. Aside from that you really have to follow the manual. It's confusing at first but the info's all there.

You can upgrade. You can buy a CD-ROM or EPROM chip. Not all machines can be upgraded from the CD-ROM. It depends what version of the OS software you have. Any machine can be upgraded with a new EPROM chip. Tascam used to insist that EPROM upgrades had to be done by them. This involved shipping...

You can export wav. files from the 788 if you have version 2.0 of the software or later. You burn them to disk on the SCSI drive then load them onto the PC.

http://www.fasoft.com/ The demo is fully functional except you can't mix down, plus a couple of other minor limitations - effects on only one track, I think.

I'm assuming when you transfer tracks digitally from the 788 to a PC you get one stereo wav on the PC. You don't get seven individual tracks. Am I right?

This is the routing I use when using outboard effects with the 788: Outboard Out to 788 Aux. In. Select the track you want to add effects to. Press Send to bring up the Effects Send screen. Turn "aux" lvl knob on screen to 30 (or whatever setting you want). This gets the signal into the...

It's all about the routing. This is a massive omission from the manual. I would never have worked this out without printing out the info as described by members at the now defunct Tascam forum. I don't have it to hand, but I will dig it out and get back to you. It works fine using the aux sends...
