In this video I show I how modify a small portable cassette player that I bought from Amazon, a used Guitar Hero game controller from Goodwill and a cheap delay board from eBay into a fun mellotron type of instrument.
The device has 5 buttons/keys on the neck that play the cassette tape at different speeds. Speed is set by a tuning knob for each key. The PT2399 delay board that I installed only came with a Mix knob so I modified it to add Feedback and Length controls.

This is the coolest thing I've seen all year! I was inspired to make a tape echo using 2 tape recorders because of your videos. Unfortunately, the wire that connected them together snapped but not before I got some really great sounds from it. I just wish my soldering skills were better. There was some buzz.

@SISKworks 2 года назад

That’s awesome. Keep at it. I sucked a soldering for a while at first. You will get better. Love that you made a tape delay! I made one too but need to remake it better and with a video next time.

Defintely a design I'm familiar with, but great idea and execution using the guitar. Honestly genius dude.

You should put masking tape on plastic like that before you dremel or drill. Saves a lot of work later smoothing it out.

@SISKworks 2 года назад

Yeah normally I probably would have but that cut edge was under the pick guard so I wasn’t very neat with my cuts.

@professionalhater2809 2 года назад

That feedback mod is super delicate, messed up two modules trying to solder it.

@SISKworks 2 года назад

I’ve definitely destroyed one or two of these boards before. Good thing they are so cheap!

@@SISKworks seen too many RB controllers...wanted to install more keys further down the neck. Have you seen Noys Toise guitar mod? Loved the raw model he found.

Thanks for sharing your knowledge. You’re Definitely inspiring.

Awesome build man!

Awesome use of the game controller keytars!

@iamsushi1056 2 года назад

the controllers from RockBand work slightly better than Guitar Hero controllers, as they have whammy bars with a range larger than 30º and the "star power" button as well.

Sick af!

@professionalhater2809 2 года назад

Can this be done with the dj hero turntable? I have both, the turntable and a cassette player.

@SISKworks 2 года назад

Yes probably. I’m only using to game controller for the buttons. I would assume the DJ controller would have the same buttons. Would be cool if you could integrate the DJ scratch movement somehow.

@chikoavena3407 2 года назад

It would be awesome to throw a monotron delay there and play with the "freets"

@SISKworks 2 года назад

Well that is kind of what I did. I’m fairly sure The monotron delay uses the PT2399 IC which is the same chip on the red delay board I added. So in a way kinda the same thing.

@@SISKworks how would you do it to make it play tho? I mean, swaping the ribbon strip to the buttons and "tunning" them with pots.
