as a MIDI sequencer freak, I greatly appreciate the serious thought put towards MIDI implementation! being able to punch in to different positions (markers / cues / whatever you want to call them) on the tape via MIDI note or program change while record enabled would fulfill a dream I have of being able to quickly jump around to different guitar / vocal parts from an external sequencer.
Brilliant, love it. All the attention to detail is greatly appreciated. I think you've fairly priced it for whatever it's worth, coming from a producer of many decades who has owned a whole lot of music gadgets. Anyone who says otherwise isn't willing to pay for quality or an ethical rate for the many hours you are pouring into this. Scoff all you want, but I've made my way as a creative professional and you get what you pay for. In my case I'm thrilled to be on board.
I really like that there will be MIDI connectivity with tape! although I personally wouldn't need it to be a MIDI host as well. (At least as far as I understand it, but I'm also fairly new to that part of the game...) For connected/controlling devices I would propably use Ableton Live and AUM (iPad). As for specific controllers I would most likely use Ableton Move and/or Akai MPK Mini plus. And finally: 'a granulat engine for tape!' Just Sounds fire. 🔥🔥🔥 Either way it's gonna be great!
As for me- i need possibility to start record a piece with a foot..-)..and i prefer to use for that simple 5$pedal- and then i would juggle it as needed…- so that is possible? With no comp or other midi hub in between?
Well, there are two possible workarounds. Both hacky. First invasive and chaotic evil: solder wires to record button and connect your pedal. I do not recommend this way😅 Second involves investments: $5 arduino uno and code like this pastebin.com/S8Qme0i4 It will convert this arduino to midi controller with one button. But it is possible that easy only is we would implement midi-host
You have a strange concept of what constitutes “trash”. I bought a real 4 track for $40, but that didn’t stop me from joining the Tape! Kickstarter. This is a pretty compelling piece of gear, especially with the new stretch goals they’re adding, and built by a developer with experience in this area. Maybe it isn’t the right product for you, but that doesn’t make it trash.
I think you’ll find that $500 is fair. You’re welcome to get a four track recorder for the same price, but it wouldn’t have any of these quality of life improvements or modern features. You also wouldn’t be supporting an independent creator, and would likely not find good support in the event of mechanical failure. Community projects support individuals and inspire new businesses to create new iterations on tried and true products.

I am too dumb to foresee the whole lot of possibilities this could open...
mee too tbh
Idk compared to $1500 for the TP-7?

@ great!…please implement midi host- )
please!)
😴 $500 is outrageous
$500 is not serious this is trash. you can get a real 4 track for that

This guy needs to chill - this thing looks sick
