Comes with cassette

The HC-TT is a compact cassette manipulation device which allows you to manually play and manipulate a cassette tape. Sound will only be produced while your hands are turning either of the large playback knobs, resulting in rich, unstable low-fi textures. By turning these knobs, you are directly rotating the cassette spindles which moves the tape across the internal tape head. The knobs “play” a regular cassette forwards and backwards. The results are reminiscent of scratching a vinyl record, or of the satisfying, sludgy sounds of slow tape. There’s no motor in this device, so direction and speed is left to the performer. The illuminated touch switch is a momentary mute for both the mono audio output and the CV/Gate outputs. The Arches and Moons touch plates allow for feedback and other strange interactions. This device does not record audio but only outputs pre-recorded audio from any cassette tape. The HC-TT comes with COUNTERCLOCKWISE, an open-source sample compilation cassette featuring various artists, produced by Landscape.
