"Human Controlled Tape Transport (HC-TT) —- a demonstration —- of utilization —- of knob texture —- to create a “mechanical projection” —- into magnetic tape playback? —- idk if that makes sense but the results are probably more important. #cassette #synth #analog #sounddesign #tape #electronicmusic #mixtape"

Jamming with the Landscape HC-TT

video upload by Musical Miscellany (Poorness Studios)

"I posted a few videos about the HC-TT from Landscape and now I decided to do a jam with it. Instead of using glitchy synths and the like, I decided to try it with "traditional" instruments. I'm pretty happy with the way this came out."

"I decided to build one of the Human Controlled Tape Transport (HC-TT) kits from Landscape. It's exactly what it sounds like, a tape machine powered by you. I fist saw one of these at Knobcon circa 2017 and I've wanted one ever since. I am looking forward to using this in some of my recordings. It's really cool."

"A Failure for Civilization: a maditation for retrograde words

I have quite confused ideas about what could be the right behavior in a situation like the one we are living today: one can stop petrified by horror to reason, to try to understand; we can take refuge in unconsciousness and pretend that that same horror is far away, that it does not touch us closely. What is the right thing to do in order not to wobble that glimmer of lightness that was glimpsed on the horizon after these two hard years?
Today I am lost like this."

Running the Landscape HC-TT through the Roland VT-4

Published on Apr 1, 2020 Patchwerks Seattle

"In this video Matthew Piecora (aka EZBOT) processes the Landscape HC-TT (human controlled tape transport) with the Roland VT-4 (voice transoformer). The results are a vocalized robot dreamscape.

From Landscape:
The HC-TT is a compact cassette manipulation device which allows you to manually play a cassette with your hands. The resulting sound can be incredibly similar to scratching a vinyl record. Sound will only be produced while your hands are turning either of the large playback knobs. 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. There is 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 as well as 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.

From Roland:
The VT-4 is an effect processor for the instrument inside us all—the human voice. And like the human voice, the VT-4 is easy to use, yet devastatingly effective. Whether you’re a solo electronic artist, DJ, or singer in a band, the VT-4 lets you craft and shape your own unique vocal sounds, from subtle augmentation to radical transformation. Everything is hands on, with no menu diving or programming to get in the way. Jaw-dropping effects like harmonizing, vocoding, pitch shifting, hard tuning, and more are just a push, slide, or turn away. And with its compact size and five-hour battery life, you can use the VT-4 anywhere.

"Super cool, unique device. Manipulate a cassette with your hands. Great for dropping "analog samples" into your jams."

Flesh resistance & skin modulation with the Landscape HC-TT & Stereo Field // Superbooth 2019

Published on May 24, 2019 DivKidVideo

"Having played around with and used the all flesh human capacitance pads in my Eurorack system for a while it was great to get chance to chat to Landscape about the new version of their HT-CC human controlled cassette tape manipulation and CV controller as well as hearing their Stereo Field create interference like noise and more. Both devices really warrant consideration and experimentation with audio in both the creation of sound and manipulation of it. Using your skin as resistors and capacitors makes you part of the circuit. Almost a human circuit bend if you will. I hope I can check these out in more detail in the future."

Landscape HC-TT Human Controlled Tape Transport

Cool little tape device from Landscape. Click through for additional details and some demos.

"The HC-TT is a compact cassette manipulation device which allows you to play a cassette with your hands similarly to how you scratch a vinyl record. Sound will only be produced while your hand is turning the single black knob. By turning this knob you are rotating the cassette spindle moving the tape across the internal tape head. The knob plays a regular cassette in the forward direction and a homemade cassette loop in either direction. The blue switch is a momentary mute for both stereo channels. There is no motor in this device. It does not record, only outputs pre-recorded audio from a cassette."
