The Portacapture Control is a dedicated app for Portacapture X8 that allows for flexible remote control via smartphones or tablets regardless of the location. ■Portacapture’s operability at the palm of your hands The Portacapture Control is an app that provides operability with the same user interface as the touch panel on Portacapture. In addition to the basic REC start/stop, gain adjustment, mixer control, mark registration, and all the other controls that can be performed on the main unit are available on this app. Moreover, you can always check information about the input level, recording progress/remaining time, battery level, as well as set various parameters including low-cut, limiter, and many more effects. ※The AK-BT1 Bluetooth adapter (separately sold) is needed to be able to control the main unit via the Portacapture Control app. For more information on how to connect Portacapture and AK-BT1 or how to use Portacapture Control, please refer to the instruction manual. ※This app does not support monitoring of the main unit’s input sound. To monitor this, please use the headphones output or the speaker function on Portacapture. Please carefully read the license agreement below before using this application. http://tascam.jp/content/downloads/products/862/license_e_app_license.pdf

Works flawlessly…if you have the overpriced adapter

Works great but to pay 50 bucks just to use Bluetooth which should have been standard on it in the first place is a joke.

Nice complement to X-6 - would love more in-app file handling…

Provides a very clear full UI of the X-6 device on an IOS device with a very fast BT control connection and response to controls. Almost reminds me of my old EMU EOS remote sampler control app from years ago (though that was over SCSI way back…..)Love how I can set my device up then hit record on my phone to start taking samples. No operator sound/button press/etc. clean samples, done. Remote gain monitoring too!Visually it looks like a 20ms to 40ms delay from button press to start and with auto record, no lost data. That’s very good!! No real lag.Bluetooth adapter was a bit pricey but this is specialist gear. Love my device for field recording, industrial noise sampling, “sound photos” and shuttling it to the DAW via SD/USB. There is basic file editing/split too. Pretty cool!I just wish the device would allow me to easily make each recording a specific name (eg Factory floor - impulse hits - metallic snares” without going into a general “word” based file system eg date based or FactoryNoise-0001, 0002, 0003 etc. to allow library development in the field. The app would be the best place to do this to quickly manage files, preview, edit, save, specifically name and organize. Now that would be a game-changer. Sample librarian on the go - hint hint Tascam X-series Product managers :)

Firstly, I was already kind of bummed that I HS to buy an extra Bluetooth adapter for my Portacapture X8, but I hoped that it would make life easier in the long run. I was able to get the app up and running on my phone and paired to the device, but it is incredibly laggy and unresponsive. It works decently for modes such as Field and Voice, but it freezes in Manual, which I’m planning on using most frequently. I’m on an iPhone 12 Pro, so I don’t think it’s my device. Hopefully we see an update to fix this because it’s currently unusable.

I was under the impression that you would be able to pair this device with your car stereo, air pods etc. I should have never made that assumption but I hope that tascam will create an update that will allow you to pair it to bluetooth monitoring devices. If nothing else, deseign an updated bluetooth card that will allow this sort of pairing!!!!! An AK-BT2 maybe?????

- MTR application "POCKET STUDIO" has been added. - A tuner application has been added. - When recording in MANUAL mode, two mixes were recorded at the same time, but the user can now choose whether to record or not. - EXPANDED PRE REC mode has been added to the prerecording function available when using the FIELD app. - Operation stability has been improved in other ways.
