Crazy trick I tried on my ER-1 mk2

Post by Headphones73 »

I went walking to the store & I see a pile of trash by the side of the road. Books, cd roms, a busted hi fi amp, but I spotted a Pioneer dual tape deck. Had no idea if it worked or not. But I took it home. I pulled out a tape to see if it worked, but I didn't see a headphone out. What to do to see if it played? I broke out the ER-1 mk2, a RCA to 1/4" cables, plugged it in to the audio ins, and it worked smoothly!

The tape I pulled came from the pile of trash I got the deck from, and it was a weird one!

WORD BUILDERS
Fast Fun Effective

The 60 minute program for building a more powerful vocabulary.

Volume 4

The tape is out to teach you new words and why/when you'd use them(I guess), but when you have the audio in clip in the tape dialogue you can get some really odd words, sounds, chops in your beats. It makes me wish I had a ES-1 or ESX to sample it.

Anyway, I didn't try it with music yet, but I'm sure you can do that as well.

Good find on the tape deck & tapes.
My favorite thing on the ER-1 is that gate audio input. The mark one has a cool ring mod that sounds excellent on vocal snippets. How is the fx on the mark two input working for you?
