NOTE
1–Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the TASCAM MP-BT1.
This unit is ideal for use when practicing bass. If
you run into a phrase on a recording that is too
difcult for you to learn by ear at ordinary speed,
you can play and loop the music at a slower speed
to study the part. Furthermore, the dedicated
bass input allows you to use the unit’s built-in
effects as you play along with the music. You can
also transfer music easily from a computer to the
MP-BT1.
An Owner ’s Manual with detailed instructions
about the MP-BT1’s functions is stored inside
the unit’s memory in PDF format. (You can also
download this manual from www.tascam.com.)
You will need to have software installed on
your computer that can open PDF documents
to read this manual. If you need this software,
Adobe Reader software can be downloaded for
free from www.adobe.com.
