Boy it’s hard to take a good picture with window backlighting, but here’s my non-modular setup. The goal is to get a live set together this year with just the POD working in tandem with the Octatrack as a looper using pickup machines. I’ve had good success with that setup so far, the POD does well controlling the OT via MIDI. I’ve also been very happy with the Joe Pass Emperor that I picked up earlier this year. I’ve always wanted one.

Thank you for sharing. I’ve been inspired. Do you make field recordings straight to the Sonys (with or without a mic)? Or do you prepare the tapes first and use the Sonys for playback only?
I have a couple of Sony TCM-20DVs and would like to try making something similar :blush:

MIDI control? How does that work?

I bought a mod kit from a company called Highly Liquid, many years ago. They don’t sell them anymore, unfortunately.

Yes and yes. I employ a “whatever works” approach: straight recordings made in situ onto tape (no external mics) // iPhone voice memo recordings mulched in iDensity // field recordings made with the iPad that go through borderlands granular then dumped to tape // play tapes through the tiny speaker into the tiny mic on my phone/ipad and process in borderlands/iDensity // two tape players playing and one recording—- endless lo-fi possibilities!

Trying to make do with one desk for both wfh and music, and while it’s been less than ideal, It’s always nice to be able to make your own ambient tones to work to.

I’ve been wondering what the “definitive” Mannequins rig would look like. This is pretty damn close to what I imagined!

Always a fan of fellow tape fixing work around folks. Best rack I have seen in a while.
