Experiments with analog tape and the exploration of its practical limits have led to some of the most sonically-satisfying production, music creation, and instrument-building techniques. From crafting scores out of snippets of tape as Delia Derbyshire did at the BBC Radiophonic Workshop, to the playback of individual keyboard-triggered phrases on the beloved Mellotron (used on countless records — Beatles and Led Zeppelin included), to the long-format layered loops in the work of Brian Eno, Steve Reich, and William Basinski — tape looping and sampling is a cornerstone of electronic music. Paired with unique playback techniques like adjustable speed and reverse, the possibilities multiply. Output brings Tape Loop and Reverse features to chromatic Arcade Instruments so that these inspiring, organic approaches are now part of your creative toolkit.
