Cronk-O-Tron (as the name suggests) is a cheap and cheerful thing with a dark and crusty old tone. It’s made up of layers of stuff carefully blended to create a vintage/retro kind of strings/voice pad sound – lo-fi and wobbly. It’s extensively multi-sampled in stereo and each sample was recorded for a minute before having long and luxurious loops applied that allow the sound to ‘breathe’. But there’s another twist…

Some time ago, I found one of these at a rubbish tip …

A Sony TC377. A bit ironic actually as it was the first tape recorder I ever owned back in the 70s – they were a good domestic tape machine. This one at the tip was in perfect cosmetic condition so I, errrmmm, shall we say, ‘borrowed’ it. Back at HS Towers, with eager anticipation, I fired it up. Looked promising – all the lights and meters came on so I lashed up some old tape and gave it a whirl…
