Features & Capabilities

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.

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.

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.

How did they leave this one out of the feature set? Transferring via a cable is much faster than Bluetooth I’ll admit, but having to find a cable is a pain.
