and editing system for all audio purposes, packed with impressive features. the workflow has been carefully optimized, whether working with multi-track recordings or just a quick memo. turn on metronome and count-in, set cue points for your arrangements, re-do takes, loop and scratch, bounce, or just play back your favorite high-res record collection.
Speak Globally, Transcribe Locally

Tape Reel Sensation
the center piece of the TP–7 is the motorized tape reel. a delicately engineered brushless motor with extreme resolution that lets you virtually grab your recording. the reel is also used for scrubbing, scratching, pausing, menu navigation and as gentle visual feedback during playback and recording.
Capture Thoughts with Velocity
inspiration rarely strikes at the perfect moment. picture yourself walking down the street when a fleeting idea hit. by the time you unlock your phone, locate the recording app, and hit record, the thought may already be gone. with the TP–7, you can easily outpace those moments.
just press the memo button on the right, even if the device is off. ideas move fast, but the TP–7 moves faster.
The Rocker
TP–7 fits perfectly in the palm of your hand, with controls that feel intuitive and natural. the side-mounted rocker allows you to quickly scrub through your audio. just press on the top edge to fast forward, and down to rewind. watch the wheel spin around and hear your tracks scrub in ’hyperspeed’.
Off the Record
Picture yourself in an interview situation. the reel on the TP–7 is spinning slowly; the bright red record lamp is lit. both the reel and the lamp indicates that a recording is taking place. the interview is going quite well. the situation gets heated, you're suddenly asked some personal questions. in that moment, you gently place a finger on the reel and pause the recording, allowing you to continue the interview ‘off the record’.
Inputs, Outputs And 20 Years of Ideas
there are three stereo jacks on the TP–7 that can be set as either inputs or outputs. this allows you to connect external mics and instruments, like CM–15 and OP–1 field, recording with all channels simultaneously. or as outputs; headphones, studio monitors, or any other audio equipment. use usb-c for multi-channel audio interface, midi, data transfer and charging, and Bluetooth for wireless connectivity. add to that 128 GB of internal storage and you can preserve 5 minutes of ideas a day for 20 years.
