Exploring A Kind Of DIY Mellotron

‪@BatteryOperated‬ Banger Time! Taking a tape recorder and connecting a couple of speed control pots in parallell with independent on/off buttons is such a smart idea for making the hackiest mellotron-ish instrument ever!

Awesome exploration video, loved the tune at the end! ❤ We sent the MiniMello your way because when we first sent you some stuff we were only just starting out... and we weren't very good at postage when we sent the Kalooper... so wasn't the best package 😅 We wanted to send our new mod and our favourite loop as a thank you for all the support and also we knew you'd make something awesome with it...which you did...instantly 😂 ❤ As soon as we figure out how to do our podcast remotely you and Analog Weapon first on the list of people who we would love to have on! Big love to you and the pirates ❤

I laughed that you almost immediately reached for the drill and proceeded to circuit bend, the circuit bent machine...magpie mania

[@PosyMusic]

I love the track!

[@_innerscape_]

Nice right? [sorry]

[@nullbyt]

Simon taught me that however you make music is ok, to hell with the rules.

[@JackNiles]

Yep

[@BatmanWangChung]

Suh dude! I loving the funky jams!

[@PhillipRaymondGoodman]

Oooooo spooky magpie in the dark

[@FirstMatterCreative]

The intro sounds crazy

[@jonirons]

round / robin

[@DetroitMicroSound]

Super dope. You still need to introduce yourself, and your pedals, to Jack White. 😉

[@shannoneldridge5690]

I circuit bent my own tape players. The motors always die quickly. Is there any replacement motors anyone know of that can stand up to the different speed and pitch controls?

[@nullbyt]

"what is going on?" Miku is happening.

[@SlaserX]

Sick, what are the stats? What can it do?

[@Propahgandasound]

I've never been this early before, hi Simon!
