I got a toy sing along “karaoke” type thing at a thrift store a while back. Its basically a tape player/recorder with microphone pass through. Was wondering what I would do to it. The algorithm read my mind and brought me here. All praise the algorithm.
I was able to do this with my reel to reel Teac x-3. I replaced the small blue trim (pot) potentiometer on the circuit board that is wired to the tape motor. It controls what speed the reel to reel should be running. I replaced that one with the one in the video. I also soldered wires to the board so they are long enough to come around to the front for manual control. I was shocked when it worked!!! I now just have to set it up with midi control. thanks for the video.
Very good

Welcome here! I hope you turn your toy into more serious toy!

Awesome jam and nice build!
Thanks!!
Well done! Have been thinking about something similar. This got me inspired!
Thanks!
very nice mod! i like the reference chart in the tape loop section, would you mind telling where you found it?
Thanks! Here is the product link.

But it’s a Korean website so I don’t think they ship worldwide.
@@SLOWROOMNOISE Great, thanks! I'll check it out
the music you play at around 1:00 do you have it on bandcamp?
Unfortunately I don’t have an account on bandcamp. If I open one, I’ll put the link on my youtube channel.
What range does it have?
I didn't have any chance to measure its range, but probably less than 2 octaves. So I prepared some tape loops.
Do you have music available via bandcamp... I would like to purchase yours.
