DJ Rock Well Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 Oh, ok. Thanks mate - I'll have a look Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Symatic Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 Yeah tape delay works cos you have separate erase/record/playback heads next to each other, the physical distance between record and playback is the cause of the delay, you just feed back the playback signal into record... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ Rock Well Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 I see. 'My one' is one of these and it definitely records, so I assume up to task. http://www.walkmancentral.com/products/wm-d6c I guess I'd have the same problem as you are though with the heads too close and the tape moving too fast. The bigger scale and variable speed of the reel to reel is just right for the task. Well... except for the inconvenient size of course!

danswift Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 Speaking of tape delay machines,I used to own one of these things about 20 odd years ago. Its the WEM Halle Cat which was the 4 channel version of the smaller single channel WEM CopiCat . the Halle Cat had a lot more versatility as it had the echo plus an onboard reverb unit and it also functioned as a mixer too . Really wish I still had it now as they're something of a rarity these days because the machines were a commercial failure when they were originally manufactured in the 1970's. 'Halle' means echo in German btw . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Symatic Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 Matt - some systems use a record/play head - have a look inside, if you can see a small (usually black) erase head, and 2 separate metallic heads then maybe youre in business.... i cant see if theres 3 heads in there.... Dan - oh man..... check out the Exo-1 - old russian delay unit, looks like something out of the Death Star's lazer guidance sytem..... Mutis - yo! I got my shitty old computer keyboard working! you have to treat it like a Bluetooth keyboard in Loopy HD's settings, but you can bind keys, so i have crucial ones like record, clear, next/previous track and reset on there, the rest of the keys are ripped off, so it's a free foot pedal! i've also decided to get the mega fancy soundcard i mentioned earlier, as it does fucking everything, so soon i'll have a fricking nice giggable loop setup (i hope) hahaha 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flexinoodle Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 Symatic you will need a powered hub, a normal hub wont work, a lot of cheap powered hubs wont work with a lot of accessories. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mutis Mayfield Posted October 5, 2017 Author Share Posted October 5, 2017 I have in plans to fit a launchpad inside a pedalboard. About tape delay monotron is my choice since I’m poor like a rat :====¥ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ Rock Well Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 For the price (or even not) those monotron delays are very good. But I must admit that ever since I've heard Si's 1/4" reel to reel in action it's made all emulations sound a bit weak. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJ Rock Well Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 Not even vaguely possible - if it was mine it would still be sat on shelf gathering dust and rust I've already had far more enjoyment from listening to you use it than I ever would've got out of it any other way. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jam Burglar Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 I kind of want a tape delay to mess around with. Right now I'm using this and it's pretty cool. It completely analog and has stereo ins and outs so it works nice with your standard DJ mixer EFX loop. I can't get the same really long delays as I can with my Boss DD-20 but the Rockman sounds cooler. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danswift Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 The Rockman effects were the brainchild of Tom Scholz,the guitarist from the band Boston. The original Rockman multi FX units were pretty dope too,the amp simulators and chorus effects on those things are really nice sounding,I used to run one of the first ever Rockman's with the signal split between an old Fender Twin reverb combo and Roland JC 120 amplifiers back in my live band gigging days. Hehe-somebody needs to post that derailed train gif in this thread I reckon. (Analogue still wins though.) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mutis Mayfield Posted October 5, 2017 Author Share Posted October 5, 2017 I love the fader for feedback and echo time. It’s part of the mods I wonder for the monotron delay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flexinoodle Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 I absolutely despise tape echo, reminds me of dub nights, which remind me that life is actually not that important and i should cut my wrists as fast as possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Analogue still wins though.)The nice thing is that Scholz (apparently) didn't like how a lot of efx limited the frequency range so he designed his stuff to have more range. Seems to translate pretty well for DJing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PortableModManiac Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 I don't know if this helps but I recently got my iPad setup complete by using the old M-AUDIO M-Track with the powered USB adapter and the app AUM to handle the routing and recording. The manual states that it isn't iOS compatible but it is if powered. I have had it for ages and got it for cheap but it seems that it has been something that pulled it all together for me trying to make music live with Ableton Link on different devices like the MPC Fly and Serato DJ. I am a hobby musician so I am aware that I am using the worst equipment wrongly too but I share what I find so I can remember it myself!

PortableModManiac Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 @PortableModManiac check the topic from the beginning and you will find useful info about launch controllers and iOS Ha I had read it but I got a bit lost with some of the terminology. I have a mental block when it comes to trying to follow tutorials and guides so I end up just plugging things in and seeing what happens. I did get a new toy to play with from the second hand store yesterday the Launch Control XL which is pretty awesome for the cost. Still not perfected the midi input on the M-Track. Spent all morning rearranging everything. I hooked the big midi out port from an old M-AUDIO Oxygen 8 to the M-TRACK midi in and AUM seems to recognise the device when I use midi learn... That's as far as I have got so far ha. I am surprised I got that far but it is not a fun task and I can't find the info on the M-Track especially the iOS aspect seeing as it's an antique! I have to do things with visual guides like pics and videos due to getting hit by a car that forced me to relearn how to relearn which is the reason why I am rubbish at explaining anything so if I am posting without making any sense let me know lol. I only joined here and Instagram to find examples of mods and setups to copy for a vintage record player mod and I ended up learning more than I intended which became a new floor space and bank account draining hobby! Anyway I hope I can learn from you guys and share SOMETHING useful without annoying everyone with basic and strange questions! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PortableModManiac Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 Take a look into page 2 and 3 which have lots of videos and how tos Cheers the videos lead me to find a how to use Groovebox with midi tutorial and saw the iPad might work with a USB hub so I just avoided the midi port idea and went USB completely ha. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mutis Mayfield Posted December 5, 2017 Author Share Posted December 5, 2017 New dj app called Soda dj. It will implement DVS in the future (dev confirmed). Full modular and AUv3 hosting... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flexinoodle Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 Made by the same developers who think a DAW doesn't need pan in its mixer, will be interesting to see what they decide DJs don't need too hahaha.Will be nice to have some DVS that isn't tied to the DJPP developer though, may bring him down a peg or two. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
