iamsetsetiam: As you can see by the dates on this post, no one replied back with any information. In addition, I have not "lifted the sticker" on mine to check. Sorry.

Talisman-Rich: I think that we are talking two entirely different subjects here. Once again, somebody correct me if I'm wrong........ The subject of this topic thread is to replace the HD in the 788 with an SD card. It sounds like this is possible. However, just to clear things...

I'm confused (no surprise there). There is something from the original poster that I don't understand. Correct me if I'm wrong. It sounds like the original poster wants to replace the hard drive with an SD card. It looks like the video accomplishes that. However................... If the hard...

Can the preset patterns be erased and then used as user generated patterns? For example, the SR-18 has 100 preset, 100 user patterns. Can the 100 preset patterns be erased and written over with your own user generated patterns. This would then give you 200 user patterns. Also, can this also be...

If I'm wrong correct me, but I believe this to be true. In none of the documentation I have seen does it list the video monitor as one of the components. On Youtube, in the video from the NAMM show, Jeff Laity from Tascam says that the video monitor is NOT included. But in every photo I have...

The title says it all. Does anyone know the number of the actual piece part? Not Tascam's programmed part number, but the part number of the piece part used. If I already have an EEPROM from a working 788, and I get an unprogrammed part, and I have an EEPROM programmer, I could buy a virgin...

I found a Tascam DP-24 with the CD and MIDI. I am thinking of getting it and making the jump from the 788 that I have, which works OK considering its age, but is getting old and support seems to be an issue. The DP-24 is version 1.02. There have been several updates over time, and the latest...

I have a similar recent thread running. A lot of views but no responses. So let's try this. I have a line on a low mileage 788 that is version 1.02. I'm thinking of getting it as a back up. The price is reasonable, but before I spend the money, I want to know what REALLY needs to be done to...

The title basically says it all. I have a line on a Tascam 788. It is version 1.02. I have a 788 now. I upgraded it to 2.02 many years ago. That means that I have the disks and CD drive and instructions. Unless I missed something, to upgrade this second one all I need is the EEPROM. Thanks in...

The title basically says it all. My faithful Tascam 788 has a couple of buttons that have become intermittent, specifically the TRACK button. Is there any way to clean or recondition this, or is it on its way out? Thanks in advance.

I just knew that as soon as I wrote about portastudios dying and going away........ This last week when doing recording/mixing/etc. the machine has "frozen", for lack of a better term. None of the controls/buttons will work, and the only way out is to turn off power and restart it. Yes, I know...

NAMM has come and gone. AFAIK Tascam did not introduce any new products or announcements in this area. The few that they do still list on their web site do not offer: - MIDI for syncing up a drum machine, etc. (This is a major issue for me.) - A CD drive for burning CDs and backing up work...

I'll try to make this brief, since I've done a lot of troubleshooting/experimenting on this problem and have had no luck. I have been using the 788 and a Zoom RT-223 for about a year and a half. I record a basic drum pattern/song to tracks 7/8. I then add other instruments to other tracks. As...

I was doing some informal cruising today, and per Tascam's web site, the above stated models have been discontinued. The only model it appears is still left is the DP-32SD. It kind of makes me wonder how much longer they'll offer the DP-32SD. I also wonder why they dropped the other three. I...

In the past I've always used the 8 channel mode, thinking that it would give me more control during mastering for the individual tracks. (It probably does.) However, someday this machine will go to the big recycle bin in the sky. At that point a DP24 would probably take its place. (Correct me...
