Tascam DP-01

Ergonomically speaking, the DP01 follows the well-honed Portastudio paradigm: most of the outputs are on the rear panel, while the more frequently used instrument inputs are located on the front edge alongside their respective gain pots and on/off switches. Down the left-hand side of the top panel are the track channels and their controls. Each of the eight has its own set of high and low EQ, Effect Send and Pan pots, as well as a Record/Mute button and level fader. The right-hand side is given over to the various transport buttons, screen, and other general operating controls. Editing menus, user preference settings, and song information are all shown on the small display screen, which also acts as a level meter for the two inputs, record tracks, and master outputs.

The scroll wheel, cursor keys, Enter/Yes, Exit/No and Menu buttons can all be found together in a grey coloured box under the screen. Missing 3 knobs but still moveable
