Re: tape cartridge for Roland RE 201?



I used to own one these puppies and, as I recall, I cut my own tapes loops 
using
regular "dry" tapes.  They seemed to work OK.  I'd give it a try; tape is 
cheap.
As Simon says, just splice it at an angle.  Try a short loop first.

>Note that the 1/4" (nearly) tape used for the 201 is the
