This user demo, via darshonaut, looks at how to use a reel to reel tape machine as a tape delay with a modular synthesizer:
I wanted to turn my Reel to Reel Tape Machine (Revox A77 MK III) into a Tape Delay, but since I don’t use a traditional mixing desk with Aux In/Out , I had to come up with a patch for my Curetronic modular synthesizer.
LOL!! I used to just use Y-cables from Radio Shack patched into the inputs and outputs and connected them in various ways for different effects including cross-patching for cross delays. Somebody later told me you couldn’t do that. I wish I still had those tapes!
Very cool. Thanks for keeping this stuff alive.
That is a lot of sweet equipment, but it is hard to deny the beauty of that Reel to Reel machine. Great creativity.
