CV Tape Player – a CV speed controlled cassette player in your Eurorack
Xavier Gazon has announced that his DIY cassette player project has finished its first run of 15 modules. It lets you play tapes in your Eurorack while controlling the speed with CV. What does that sound like? Pretty awesome in a drunken, spooky, warbling kind of way.

Here’s the original prototype:
