Tascam CDBT2 CD Bass Trainer
Tascam CD-BT2 CD Bass Trainer
The new CD-BT2, is the latest introduction in the portable CD trainer line-a product category literally invented by Tascam. Like the wildly-popular original CD-BT1 bass trainer, musicians have the ability to slow down the speed of a CD without changing the pitch – allowing artists, musicians, students, and music teachers to practice, learn and teach fast licks, rhythm parts and solos from their favorite bass players. With its ultra-compact design and new functionality, the new CD-BT2 trainer from Tascam is the most user-friendly trainer ever. The new CD-BT2 bass trainer completes their all-new lineup of trainers for the musician, student, teacher and artist on the go.
The CD-BT2 bass trainer features an all new improved ultra compact design, comprehensive LCD display with graphical user interface, Album title/Track title indication by CD-Text, expanded effect banks for user preset, chromatic tuner, and Tascam’s pioneering VSA (Variable Speed Audition, pitch control without affecting key) feature lets music fans learn up a continuous mix of their favorite songs anywhere they go.
With Tascam’s legendary ease of use, pioneering features such as integrated pitch and key control, bass canceller with selectable canceling pan point and selectable frequency range, and seamless integration with CD-DA/CD-R/CD-RW disc playback. Users can now discover the licks their favorite artist really played.
