You are a very charismatic person and I really enjoy your tech videos and blogs, every bit of them shows how much you are in love with all this audio stuff.
Damn you always seem to be doing interesting shit. I've been thinking about putting a voltage regulator into an old walkman in an effort to clone the onde magnetique. That can go on the "maybe one day" pile.
Spectacular! Any ideas on how to add a gate? I see that you're doing it with filters in your modular. I don't have a modular and would prefer to have the actual tape machine stop and start.
Many times, the line itself will serve to trigger. OR: If you record a gate into a tape, and then rewind and playback the recorded gate with the line out plugged into wherever you’re sending it, it will often suffice. It’s going to really depend on the particular gear in question, and the recording that you’re hoping to use as a gate source. I know that mixers had a push button gate or a tone that you Could record into a blank track as a test tone and gate source. Edit: I’m a moron when it comes to comprehension, you want the gate to stop and start motor... maybe if you made two of these guys, or if you don’t mind doing job of sequencer, a momentary push button?
It would probably be easiest to just put a simple VCA on the output. You could also try strapping an H11F3 opto-FET across the volume pot, then drive the FET's internal LED with your CV signal

Hey, Andrzej, thank you!
very cool idea. love the sound quality coming out of it
Brilliant. You should try it with a tape loop so you can sample as you sequence.
Thanks for the shoutout!
Couldn't not say something, since your product is what got me wondering about it. :-)
Thanks mate. Interesting idea.
dope af
Using this method, is it still necessary to put batteries into the walkman or does the cv power it?
CV is at most 10 volts. Yes you would still need batteries.
Yay! That's almost the exact one that I have, and I've been looking for modification stuff for it!

Not everyone can be 'the world's worst solderer'!
That honour belongs to me.
Great video and really cool sounds. Can I ask what is the sequencer you are using?
frickin awesome
👌
Modern witchcraft ! Love your channel and ideas
so good
Great idea. Now I'm thinking old Fostex multi-track cassette recorder and chord harmony. Might work? Thanks for posting man.
Fostex machines are pretty easy to circuit bend so yes this probably would work with a 4 track tape recorder :D
funky motor driven legato :-)
Nice!

ive nerver done this, but you could just solder a jack to the on/off switch. so when voltage arrives, the walkman starts to play.

Cool idea man!
Nice work! NB Always freaks me out how Americans pronounce 'soldering' as 'sardering' :-D
Yeah, well, we have the most powerful military in the world. We can pronounce it how we damn well please. SEND IN THE DRONES!
Heh!

Analog Industries Sarder U🤜😂
does adding a Cv control affect the voltage needed to drive the player ? ie the battery or dc jack
wht part of the jack is the ring vs tip?prolly a beg. question but thought id ask before i mess up
Does this work only for sequencers or can it work for any module?
That's how sampled music is made
Is there a way to add cv to the volume potentiometer as well? Sorry if thats a silly question I have no understanding of electronics

Anybody have any ideas for which points to solder on a Sony 353v?
I want to do this with an Arduino and then have it hooked up to Max4Live :)
