The DP-32 uses a song-based filesystem and it's at this stage that you select sample rate and bit rate. We also thought the included USB cable was absurdly short. Even so, the lack of digital connectivity and one headphone output is slightly annoying.
The use of combi input connectors, an external PSU and SD cards for audio storage keep the DP-32 both compact and light, but the buttons, faders and controls still feel pretty solid. The function buttons to the left - Assign, Mixer, Dynamic and Effect - access additional features, and combined with the four function keys, jogwheel, cursor buttons and dedicated rotary controls mentioned above, help you access all the relevant parameters.įurther settings and features such as song management, SD formatting, preferences and the tuner are accessed via the Menu screen. The main homescreen includes two pages - Time Line and Meters - offering good overall feedback of track usage, levels, routings and song position. The DP-32 includes a small but hi-resolution colour LCD screen, which provides feedback and control of many of its functions. Rounding things off are a mini USB socket, MIDI in and out for MIDI sync, and a front-mounted mini jack for Tascam's RC-3F pedal remote. You also get physical outputs for sends 1 and 2. In terms of outputs, there's a main monitor output on balanced jacks, main stereo output on unbalanced phonos, and one front-mounted headphone output. Although to achieve this maximum, 12 of these would have to be stereo. All inputs can be freely routed to any tracks or to the stereo output, giving the DP-32 a theoretical maximum of 40 channels at mixdown. Input 8 (H) can also handle high impedance guitar sources (there's a selector switch on the back panel). The DP-32 has eight inputs on XLR/jack combi connectors, and all are equipped with phantom power activated in two banks of four.
