Tascam Model 12
Hello Folks

Thanks to be Confirmed as a Member of the Forum ! :)

i Have a Question:

Is it possible to Control the Full REC/Stop/Rewind Buttons somehow ?

It would be a HUGE Plus for me to Make new Takes of a Track and don’t Need to be Directly on the Mixer .
I Read that Its only possible to Punch in or Start and Stop .. but i Need to be Able to do all the Buttons with Easy steps .
I Hope you know what i mean … Or can i Put 2 Footswitches on it somehow.?
Just warnt to arm my Tracks and work Gully from another Place away from the Mixer Till the Takes Are Right :)


thank you very much in Advance !

Welcome @Thomas Klinteby ,
the Model 12 supports two footswitches at the same time via TRS jack, you can use a standard Tascam or another brand compatible footswitch or build your own stomp-footswitch. The table of assignable functions is on page 56 of the manual.
 
Has anyone actually got a dual footswitch working on the Model 12? I purchased a dual momentary footswitch and only one function works occasionally, I've tried all the combinations of settings. There does not appear to be any recommended dual footswitch.
 
@Hamish,
making a remote footswitch controller out of a dual momentary push-button is a simple thing, provided one button is connected between tip and sleeve (Switch 1) and the other between ring and sleeve. Assign switch roles and polarity (normally open or normally closed according to your buttons) in menu SYSTEM > FOOTSWITCH and you are done. As a quick test I connected a TRS patch cable to the Footswitch socket and used an alligator cable to emulate the switches with no issue. If you get unsuccessful or inconsistent results with your footswitch it is likely defective, not fully compatible with the Model or not connected correctly.
 
Thanks @Max Relic, Glad to hear it's worked for you. I'll disassemble the footswitch I have and I'll check/resolder all the connections.
