The Teaching Tool That Makes LoFi Beats To Study To

Amazing, where can I get one?

a year later and the Eiki/ Bell & Howell units are the expensive ones 🤣

IM NOT A HIPSTER IM NOT A HIPSTER... Ok maybe I'm a little hipster

Soo awesome..I NEED ONE NOW..LUV THIS STUFF

HA !! FUNNY I was just thinking of Simon and Garfunkel Bridge Over Troubled Water on reel to reel while looking through these and you say the movie Baby Driver too strange !

I imagine thin, double sided sticky tape would be ideal for sticking the VHS tape to your card stock. Super cool video! Those seem pretty perfect for LoFi

Nobody in my elementary class used this tho besides me.
Also got me in trouble.

This thing got me in trouble in
Elementary.
I talked over all the cards saying
Dumb things.
The teacher was mad about it and
Had to redo all of the cards with
Her own voice.

Kid Koala's fave toy!

Does anyone know where you can get the cards for this thing?? For less than $20 for 5……

Didn’t even get to the end of video before searching eBay!

Oh God now I need one thank s🤦🏻

This is so sick!
Great video.

Thanks mate. Now I need one. Hahaha! What a beautiful machine

You would be EXCELLENT as a music composer for American Horror Story.

We used to have one of those in primary school I'd sit there and record my voice and other people's. Please can you lo fi a drum loop???

I saw Autechre at The Reach in 1996, they used one of these with a loop.

do you think ironing the loop slightly would help to smooth out ridges? and would that distort the data?

Wires. Just saying. You know I'm going to watch every video and I'm going to say Wires. So there.

what does it sound like when you record something on one, then play it back and record it on another, then play it back and record it on the first one again and so on?

Ended up finding a 'parts only' Califone unit on Ebay for $30 shipped. Turned out it just needed some lubrication and a good cleaning. The volume pot also needed some tuner cleaner but it works almost as good as new now. I probably only put in about an hour of my time to it it all straightened out. Now I just need to cannibalize a VHS tape to make some cards. Thanks for the inspiration, Hainbach!

What is the name of the recorder

Hach schön das die alte Magnetkartenkiste bei dir so ein gutes Zuhause gefunden hat. Die Karten damals zu finden war garnicht so einfach, aber ich hätte wohl keinen besseren Käufer dafür finden können als dich.

I remember using this machine

Any idea where you could find cards for these now? I have an old reader, but can't find inexpensive cards.

Ugh 😖 i had that exact same casio, i still cant beileve i thought taking it apart to repair it was a good idea....r.i.p

Scratchin' shenanigins... scri-scri-Scratchin' shenanigins. Top lo-fi stuff!

yeh theses are not 25$ anymore hahaha

Insane! Beautiful,

The device that got me and a friend in trouble in kindergarten. We recorded silly noises over some "official" cards. Seems there wasn't a very good write protection in the design.

Huge Boards Of Canada vibes ❤❤

Amazing!!!! I want one!

please release the song that you made in this video

I comment this video only in hope that Heinbach will like my comment. :)

there is technically no limit to how much analogue data that would fit on that tape. if songs was stored in gamma wavelenghts and then recorded on the tape you only have to slow it down enough and it chould sound like real sound for a long time. you would need a doppler converter to play it of.

So cool

For making loops you should try to give the cards a natural curve first by slowly bending them on something over a night or two. Maybe a tiny bit of heat to get it slightly softer. If you can get a close enough curve with the plastic you should be able to bend and splice them together cleaner.

You need longer cards

This is great! Though my first thought was this was going to show up in a horror movie hah

I just saw that they make a cheap version that only looks like it has a play head. I am thinking of picking up one of those, too. I am hoping to use it like an inline tape delay. Hope it works!!!

I really love the reverse effect of the card reader. Anyone know any tracks or genres that utilize this effect?

that drum beat was so whack hahaha. otherwise amazing stuff.
