You can now take your cassette tape loops out into the wild with experimental voltage control on the Loopman Field Player.
Loopman Field Player
Error Instruments has had other Loopmans (loopmen?) in both desktop and Eurorack form. They had built-in recording, radios and other features that made them ideal for the studio. The Loopman Field Player streamlines the idea into a playful, portable and compact form for experimental cassette tape action out in the world.

It is just a player, it doesn’t record, but it does have other interesting qualities. You’ve got speed control on the single big knob which can also be controlled by control voltage via a patch socket or a light sensor built into the control panel. There’s a gate output and a gate input for switching the outputs for granular, strobing or just messing about. On the control panel you’ll find a Eurorack level mono output for routing through other gear or on the side there’s a regular stereo output for your headphones. The cord is there so you can hang it around your neck as you traverse our environment – groovy!
You can get the Loopman Field Player with or without a cover and you can also slide the side open if you want to spool a tape loop outside of the cassette.

With the increasing amount of artists releasing on cassette these days, this machine gives you the usefulness of a Walkman while inviting you to mess about with the music. I love the idea that the speed could vary in response to the changing light of your environment just by walking about with it around your neck.
