Tascam announces the V1.32 firmware update for the Portacapture X8 32-bit Float Portable Audio Recorder. Featuring 192kHz/32-bit float point recording technology, a 3.5-inch color touchscreen display, large format internal detachable microphones to accommodate a variety of recording applications, internal 8-track recording capability, 32-bit float USB audio interface and more, the Portacapture X8 is designed for church content creators, videographers, vlog content production, media production, and music applications and more. With the V1.32 firmware update, the Portacapture X8 gains enhancements designed to increase its overall value.
Portacapture X8’s control app—known as Portacapture Control— now runs in the background of other apps (using the optional AK-BT1 Bluetooth adapter) to streamline production and allow more creative options. The unit’s Punch I/O function has been re-named to Overdub/Punch I/O as part of the V1.32 firmware update. Multitrack overdub recording has always existed with the Portacapture X8, but the function’s name did not clearly convey this. Derived from the Tascam Portastudio series, the Portacapture X8 facilitates multitrack Overdub recording as well as punch I/O. With its 6 flexible inputs, the Portacapture X8 makes it easy to overdub a phrase, new track, and other instruments to the main track. The Overdub function is available in the Manual app.
The V1.32 update also fixes a wireless time code compatibility issue and now provides the ability of the Portacapture to connect with Atmos Connect and Shogun Connect products (optional AK-BT1 is required).
