ABSTRACT:
An electronic musical instrument, in the nature of an organ, employs a plurality of endless magnetic tape players, each continuously playing an endless magnetic tape stored therein, each endless tape having recorded thereon a continuous tone, and a keyboard arranged such that depression of a key causes the output of a selected tape player to be played through a speaker system continuously for as long as the key is depressed.
A method of recording a continuous tone on a magnetic tape is also disclosed, in which a short loop of a master tape carrying the desired tone is fed sequentially across two transducer heads and the output of the heads is selectively fed toa tape player in the record mode so as to avoid recording the splice on the master tape.
