***Updated - VERSION 2***

Inspired by tape looping and audio manipulation on a 4 track Tascam Portastudio, we present the Inner Ocean 4trak, a Max for Live Device that takes the workflow and analog sound design into the digital domain for Ableton Live users.

Designed and built in partnership with Peter Bark and Woulg, we spent over 2 years refining and perfecting this device until we knew that we had landed on something super special and unique that doesn't exist anywhere else.  It's no secret we love all things analog, both in the music creation process and for listening formats.  As creators ourselves, we wanted the sound and workflow of playing with audio on a hardware tape unit but with the convenience and expanded functionality of working in the box.  With hardware tape units becoming harder to find and getting a lot more expensive, the Inner Ocean 4trak makes it super easy for any sound creator to start experimenting with tape loops.

We hope you love working with the Inner Ocean 4trak as much as we do, if you have any questions or comments, feel free to email either dan@inneroceanrecords.com or cory@inneroceanrecords.com

Download comes bundled with a PDF manual and sample pack created by Peter Bark, containing a mix of 40 loops split into 10 groups of 4, specifically designed to be drag and dropped right into the device for instant playability.

* To install the device, drag the entire contents of the zip folder into your Max for Live Instruments folder *

This device needs Max for Live to function which is found in versions of Live Suite.

(Re)discover all the pleasure of analog sound with our modernized cassette players: Serge, Keith, Kurt and Amy!

Like the old-school cassette players, our players have fast forward/rewind buttons, a headphone output, a volume control and an audio input so you can create your own mixtapes. 

But because you have to keep up with the times, we've added a few modern touches.

First, we've replaced the batteries with a rechargeable lithium battery that provides up to 12 hours of continuous playback. It's more practical and environmentally friendly. We also built in a Bluetooth 5.1 connection so you can connect the player to your headphones or wireless speaker in seconds. It may not sound like much, but it's a world first!

On the audio side, our engineers worked hard to optimize the mechanism to be as close as possible to the best of the time. And the result is there. Today, you won't find better on the new market! 

Finally, we paid special attention to the design and materials used. As for the very first Sony Walkman, the TPS-l2, we avoided plastic and preferred an aluminum case for a "cool touch" and a real quality feeling. The result is a cassette player with a sober and elegant design, which will last in time. The kind of object that one would almost want to display on a shelf in the living room.

So, ready to rewind? 

Available in 3 colors: Orange (SERGE), Blue (KURT) and Grey (KEITH).
