TASCAM MMC-38, MIDI Machine Control Interface

TASCAM MMC-38 – Make Your DA-38/DA-88 Work with Today’s MIDI Gear

Unlock seamless integration between legacy digital multitrack recorders and your modern MIDI-based workflow.

Give your vintage multitrack recorder a modern heartbeat. Convert MIDI MMC commands into DTRS transport control and sync tape actions with MTC/SMPTE timecode. Whether you're using a hardware remote or sending commands from your DAW, the MMC-38 delivers versatile, compact, and intuitive control.

Core Features & Functionality:

• Acts as a bridge between MMC (MIDI Machine Control) and DTRS transport commands, enabling remote control of DA-38 or DA-88 units via MIDI.
• Converts Tascam ABS tape time to both MTC and SMPTE timecode, ensuring tight synchronization with sequencers and other MIDI systems.
• Compatible with remote controllers like the RC-848 or RC-828, selectable via a rear-panel switch—choose between MMC or remote control depending on your setup.
• Why It’s Essential:

• Legacy meets modern studios: Easily control tape transports from within today’s DAWs or MIDI controllers.
• Synchronization made simple: Align recorder playback with your sequencer using accurate timecode conversion.
• Effortless compatibility: The built-in switch lets you prioritize your preference—manual remote or MIDI-based control.
• The unit is in perfect working and aesthetic condition and it comes with its original package and manual
