Let's throw some old gear at a modern modular setup...

Hey guys -- let's continue creating some new and interesting colors by throwing the Tascam 246 Cassette Recorder and several other compressors, distressors, and more at the signal coming from my Buchla and Eurorack system.

I think I hear a Desmodus eating a Buchla. Absolutely stunning sounds.

Every time I mention the name “Buchla” to my wife she gets mad. I want your setup so bad but idk how I would ever afford it. Babies coming next month. Guess we will just have to enjoy yours! Thanks again for posting all these videos! ❤

Nice to see i did the same and still have the mt-100 Here. You probably know but for viewers, you can use one channel for cv recording as wel or use it as a master clock with the pitch to your modular 🎉

10:47 onwards is some Mars Volta shit. Absolutely beautiful. Great video, thank you for sharing. Great to have you back!

great setup ! the 246 saturation sounds so good. We also made most of skinny puppy demos using this in the early 80's. Great thing is how well cassette format holds up, as i can still playback the old tapes ! Super great explanation of your rig. Im looking to get rid of my console and build a similar input output system. We met once long ago in Amsterdam (97) So its great to see your success Tom, all the best to you

Well... you made me get ou my old Fostex X-28H and plug it in... awesome.

@7:34 That classic Tom and Jerry scream 🤣

I appreciate you sharing your workflows and insights, it's inspirational and educational. Cheers 👍

Those are some yummy textures. I'd be happy to listen to a bunch of hour-long tracks of this flavor. Also, very inspiring for my own noise-making process.

This inspires me to want to create a live session within Ableton to play on my APC40. I don’t have the money right now to get any analog gear, but I have Ableton and a controller and plenty of ideas to record, process and perform in session mode!

That sounds dystopian as fuck. Love it.

I remember TDK SA tapes were the best, I have loads of them still and I must really get around to digitising them as there is some great stuff on them from a while back

[GprokYB]

Thanks for taking the time to do these great videos. cheers!!!

[jacquesterrier]

i still have a Nerve's record and remember a live concert in belgium. Was great times.

[AynenMakino]

Interesting; I'm using my morphagene and arbhar in similar ways as you're using a tape-deck.

[Crackalacking_Z]

Really haunting and alien soundscape, it would work so well in scifi horror movie!

[BroknRobotMusic]

What's great about these experimentation vidoes is that is not actually about the expensive gear, it's about creative ideas for sound design that you can implement even if you can't afford any of this gear. I bet lots of people watching this have 10000$ eurorack setups but have never actually 'resampled' anything in their life....

Very cool! My favorite video of yours so far. I had the Tascam 234 (rackmount) growing up, this brings back so many memories. I know yours is the 246 (same concept). What is the reverb on the Buchula tape track? Was it in the Eurorack H9 reverb or a send on 246 to something else? Those tube-techs are awesome but super expensive! Thanks for the video Tom.

I am curious about your Dynaudio Stands... I was on the Dynaudio site, did not find them. I need high stands like you have for my Cores because of my tall DELL monitors.. be cool to know if you feel like sharing?

Used to have the even older model of the Tascam, the 144! Squeezed the s**t out of it when doing my multitrack synth recordings!
