MAKE subscriber Mike Walters (NYC), from Mystery Circuits, sent us a link to this amazing project he did that turned a Tascam 4-track tape recorder into a programmable drum machine. I love that it looks like something off the set of the original Star Trek. I almost expect to hear the voice of Majel Barrett coming out of it, along with the drum sounds.
