Tape reel sensation.

Just press on the top edge to fast forward, and down to rewind. watch the wheel spin around and hear your tracks scrub in ’hyperspeed’.
Off the record.
Picture yourself in an interview situation. The reel on the TP–7 is spinning slowly, the bright red record lamp is lit. Both the reel and the lamp indicates that a recording is taking place.
The interview is going quite well. The situation gets heated, you’re suddenly asked some personal questions. In that moment, you gently place a finger on the reel and pause the recording, allowing you to continue the interview ‘off the record’.
