Yeah, it’s Aum. Super useful. Ridiculously useful. It’s one of those infrastructure apps where you wonder why it hasn’t, like TestFlight was, just been purchased outright by Apple. The ability to use MIDI to control effects through it is pretty remarkable, though not always seamless. I get it to work easily with, for example, the Duplicat app but using it with the DubFilter app has flummoxed me.

Got to use my colleges studio to record my systems yesterday and the White Whale and Elements really came to life for me! Excited to get back in there and record some more!

Just a simple DIY case on a stand i made out of plywood. I put the strip of wood between the rows so I can screw the rails straight into that and not thru the sides.

It’s an OTO Biscuit; a bitcrusher. I used the tape recorder/biscuit to make noises between songs (each song was a separate max patch), as people seem to get confused when there are pauses in an electronic music set. I also used it for a ‘tape fast forwarding’ solo during one song.

Far out.

Those can’t possibly still be made…can they?

I used more or less the same recorders in the 70s for my language lessons, and other miscellaneous narration type things.

I bought it new in 2013 for $40. They still have the garbage motor noise, clunky controls and horrible sound quality you remember. I’ve used it in a variety of settings, including in songs for its weird qualities : https://soundcloud.com/toaster-1/bd_rkn

Funny, this deck, and the DIY analogue manipulation stuff I see floating around connected to synthesis reminds me of a weird device I built in college, built around one of thsoe decks which I’d dissassembled. I built a hand-cranked cassette drive, with the tape passing over the playback head, wired in to an amp, and a bunch of other stuff I can’t remember clearly. The visible aspect of the device was as much a part of it as its sound, using brass sheets, tubing, plexiglass sheet, etc. It got used in a few performances, alongside loops spliced together from recordings on some ancient modular in a lab I had access to.

I also took the circuit board out of one of those decks and soldered random leads to various places and connected it all in to the in/out chassis of a home-made guitar effect pedal…and ran whatever audio I pleased through it. Truly random results, with a couple pots hooked in. Probably lucky I didn’t electrocute myself in the process. An oscilliscope saw occasional use too…somehow.

College.

Hah! That’s more or less exactly what I built, although mine was 10,000 times less elegant!

Amazing.

I should buy one…just 'cause.

Thanks for that.
