Chamberlin Rhythmate Tape Loop Drum Machine

This is a quick demo of my Chamberlin Rhythmate. This was an early drum machine which played back tape loops. It's a predecessor of the Mellotron. ...

This is an amazing machine ! A question: given the enormous number of times the loop passes against the head, what was the typical life of the loops ? What type of tape was used ? At what speed did it play ? It would be fun to see the inside.

  @blechmusik That's correct but this still doesn't explain why almost none of the 250+ stereo recordings never surfaced. They are believed to have been lost in bombings, but some must also have been erased. If you listen to those Raucheisen CDs, you'll hear at silent moments some light background ...

  The Furtwangler were issued on LP in the USSR back then, re-issued several times by Melodyia, who even issued them again on 15 CDs (easily found on the net). Deutsche Grammophon also issued them on two packs. Some other CDs contain these recordings as well. Other interesting recordings were issue...

A small advise from a turntable specialise (which I hope you'll read): your tonearm lifts too high and drops too hard on the record. This won't really affect your 78s but will cause damage on vinyl records. Moreover this will increase the wear of your stylus. There should be a small screw or whee...

  @ThePdex It indeed sounds great but there's some filtering in the higher frequencies (I have it too). These records were pressed in the late 1950s shortly before being definitely replaced by 45s. Pressings were made in the UK with the best shellac, and also recorded on magnetic tape and then tran...

  @SatchmoSings This was experimental. All known stereo recordings made by the Bell Labs were issued on LP (2 volumes) called Early Hi-Fi. Indeed the quality is surprising.

  @Antoshik81AEG purchased the Pfleumer patent in 1930 and already built a working prototype in 1932, before Hitler was elected. So the nazis were absolutely not involved in the development of the Magnetophon. They only used it for the propaganda.

You're quite right. 15ips is the speed most often used in studios but 30ips is used for highest quality in the treble. This speed doesn't give better bass, quite in the contrary. The main reason of the original 77cm/s speed (which the Americans rounded to 30ips when building their own machines) i...

  @stratocat9999 The tape has deteriorated since the late 1980s when it was transferred. The sound didn't deteriorate.
