another question about the old cassette loading computers?

Question

if you typed the same thing over and over again, and saved to a cassette. could you take that tape put it in a stereo and possibly make a synthesizer like musical rhythm? also what would happen if you took a cassette with real music on it and put it in the computer?

Answer 1

First answer: If you have the hearing range of a dog, this might work....
What you would find is that there would be a certain amount of initial noise which would be on the file, then your repeated bits would come later. You would probably need to create a program which simply save your typed text as a file, then play that file back through your stereo. I think to make it useful, you might have to slow it down - though its possible those old tape units ran quicker than normal?? thus making the sound lower when played in a conventional player...get it really low and you might make an interesting bass track? From memory, I think your sound would be basically something like the sound a fax makes (and no-one likes that!!)
Answer two: because the music would not have the correct initialisation sequence programmed into it, it would not load as a file..
Have I taken this too seriously????
Good question - hope this helps
