⊕ FEATURES
PANEL : small changes on the panel :
– cv disto instead of CV tuner
– mic jack IN instead of panel mic.
– switch normal/manual speed
– GATE IN jack
We hope you’ll like this updates as us !
– Potentiometer for manual tape SPEED management
(from very low to high speed)
– CV IN for tape speed
– GATE IN (start/stop motor)
– Switch normal/manual speed
– ATTENUATOR for CV IN
– mono AUDIO OUT
– Mono RECORD IN : 3 options
:: audio in jack
:: electret mono mic record IN
:: external original dictaphone electret mic with capsule holder (1,5 meters cable)

– AM/FM switch
– antenna on panel for increase radio signal quality
– feedback distorsion potentiometer (with two modes : hard/soft on the back)
> can auto-oscillate in hard mode

(can reach 350 ma peaks with hard and fast modulations)
– Polarity protection on power
– there is a trimmer on the back to calibrate the range of the motor speed
– BLACK PANEL matte + matte varnished with gold and white silkscreen 2mm
∴ FUNCTIONS
– playing manually with motor tape speed from high speed to very low speed (osc, noise, field recording sources, FX,…)
– create monophonic melody with looptape (CV IN + attenuverter + offset) / not 1V/oct calibration
– create ‘cassette beat’ (for example : record noise and change drastically the cv speed > Hi-HAT (tremolo/gate with CV IN and/or GATE IN)
– record LOFI TAPE LOOP (w/ cassette loop) with external dictaphone electret microphone or with REC IN jack then play with it, etc
– record the RADIO STATION DIRECTLY on the tape
– control motor speed with analog osc
– mix external source with recorded tape or radiocassette

→ DELIVERY & notes
These modules are designed, handmade and assembled in Belgium – Europe.
PCB and Panel are professionally made in factory.
It’s limited series (numbered) and these modules are made one by one so now it’s only possible to do small batch. You can join mailing list to be the first to receive pre-order announces.
⇔ NOTES
– This is a walkman, so it’s not to compare with high fidelity tape studio player/recorder deck
– We didn’t designed the walkman, it’s a hack for eurorack.
