tape speed sequencer (with computer control)

A sixteen-step sequencer on a computer controls the speed of a motor in a tape cassette machine.

The controls on the virtual sequencer include speed (how quickly the different steps are read through), length (how many steps are there in the looping sequence) and the actual sequencer itself. The lower a given step is on the sequencer, the lower the speed of the motor is in the tape machine at that point in time.

A special thanks to Edward Kelly for re-igniting my interest in tape control and manipulation.

The music in the cassette player is Drowning Goldfish having a jam. Featuring
David Gustafsson on guitar and bass, Brent Easson on drums and myself on bass and guitar.

If only cassette machines used stepper motors rather than traditional motors...

now that would be interesting!

[rahjitube]

Wow! That's one way to hack a cassette player. I reckon some great effects and sounds could be had using this approach. Nice job!
