My
First Sony - Cassette-Corder (toy cassette recorder
with drum and animal sounds)
This red and blue toy cassette recorder (model no. TCM-4040 Made
in Taiwan, R.O.C.) has 6 yellow plastic drumpads those can be switched
between drum and animal sounds. These samples are astonishingly clear (although
8 bit or similar) and have unique timbres.
main features:
-
cassette recorder with play, record and stop function
-
cassette rewind and fast forward buttons don't lock (need to be held down
- a defect??)
-
separate sliders for "master" and "sound pad" volume.
-
reasonable large loudspeaker (10cm?)
-
microphone jack
-
6 drumpads
-
drum/ animal sound select switch
-
6 drum sounds {tom-tom 1, tom-tom 2, drum 1, drum 2, cymbal 1, cymbal 2}
-
6 animal sounds {cuckoo, cat, dog, pig, goat, lion}
-
soundchip "OKI M6243-34 19002" (square SMD package) uses volume
envelopes and sample loops to create the sounds (noticeable with the "goat"
sound)
-
eyes for carry belt
-
microphone jack but neither output nor power supply jack
notes:
When I found this thing, the recorder would have made tape mess because
friction wheels were dirty/ oily; after thorough cleaning it seems to work
now.
Likely as an add-on for this recorder Sony released the small
drumpad sound toy My First
Sony - Sound Pad SOP-1000, which plugs into the microphone jack
and also plays astonishingly clear effect samples.
