ABSTRACT:
Apparatus and method for causing the tape of an audio tape player to oscillate at the point of contact of the tape with the read head of the tape player. The apparatus includes first and second guide members disposed on either side of the read head at locations where the tape may be placed in contact with and about the guide members. The first guide member is mounted on a support member which is arranged to move in an oscillatory manner generally toward and away from the read head. The support member is caused to oscillate by a camming structure which, in turn, is driven by a variable speed motor. The second guide member is mounted on one end of a resilient element, the other end of which is fixed. This resilient element biases the second guide member against the tape to maintain the tape in a taut condition at the point of contact of the tape with the read head. When the support structure is caused to oscillate, the first guide member also oscillates to thereby cause the tape to oscillate. Such oscillation is useful for enabling the location of particular sounds on a tape and this, in turn, facilitates editing and splicing together segments of a musical composition.
