Once Kiriya gave the Gashat back to him, Emu accessed Muteki Gamer for the first time and defeated Cronus with ease. This allowed M to be reborn, enabling Emu to utilize the Gashat's full power. Kuroto also revealed that only Emu with his Bugster Virus was able to use the full potential of Hyper Muteki, which revealed the true reason behind Emu's failure: Emu was unable to use it because he'd completely separated Parado from himself when he was tricked into using Maximum Mighty X's reprogramming on him before, causing Emu to be just himself, no longer Genius Player M which Nico suddenly realized because since Parado was able to use Level 99, Emu had never said "Ore" nor had his personality change anymore when transformed.Įmu forced Parado to re-infect him by using the Gashacon Bugvisor II on himself when he baited Parado that he had a plan to stop Masamune. However, the 10 second timer ran out, rendering him powerless, allowing Cronus to stop time again and take the Gashat away to give it to Kiriya.įurious at having the Gashat taken, Kuroto put the blame on Emu for failing to use it before Taiga put the blame on Kuroto. ![]() ![]() When Emu first used the Gashat, it refused to activate, so Kuroto took it and used its second function, Muteki Mode, and its invincibility to negate Cronus' time stopping.

In light of the re-emergence of the unstoppable Kamen Rider Cronus, New Kuroto Dan began work on a Gashat that could counter his power. Only Ex-Aid is able to utilize its full potential as Hyper Muteki was designed specifically for Emu to use. The Gashat grants any Gamer Driver user invincibility for ten (10) seconds.

In 1912, a similar process was used for the Hiller talking clock. The patent description states that the machine could store six records on the same strip of film, side by side, and it was possible to switch between them. The celluloid film was inscribed and played back with a stylus, in a manner similar to the wax cylinders of Edison's gramophone. He received the patent for his invention in 1909. Goodale adapted movie film for analog audio recording. Goodale is exhibited in the private Phonograph Museum in Mariazell, Austria.įranklin C. The waxed tape recording medium was inferior to Edison's wax cylinder medium, and Edison's wax cylinder phonograph became the first widespread sound recording technology, used for both entertainment and office dictation. Otherwise, with some reconditioning, they could be placed into working condition. The machine's playback head was also missing. The tapes and machine created by Bell's associates, examined at one of the Smithsonian Institution's museums, became brittle, and the heavy paper reels warped. While the machine was never developed commercially, it somewhat resembled the modern magnetic tape recorder in its design. Both recording and playback styluses, mounted alternately on the same two posts, could be adjusted vertically so that several recordings could be cut on the same 3⁄ 16-inch-wide (4.8 mm) strip. In playback mode, a dull, loosely mounted stylus, attached to a rubber diaphragm, carried the reproduced sounds through an ear tube to its listener. The sharp recording stylus, actuated by a vibrating mica diaphragm, cut the wax from the strip. The tape was then taken up on the other reel. The wax strip passed from one eight-inch reel around the periphery of a pulley (with guide flanges) mounted above the V-pulleys on the main vertical shaft, where it came in contact with either its recording or playback stylus. The machine was of sturdy wood and metal construction, and hand-powered by means of a knob fastened to a flywheel. It employed a 3⁄ 16-inch-wide (4.8 mm) strip of wax-covered paper that was coated by dipping it in a solution of beeswax and paraffin and then had one side scraped clean, with the other side allowed to harden. The earliest known audio tape recorder was a non-magnetic, non-electric version invented by Alexander Graham Bell's Volta Laboratory and patented in 1886 ( U.S. As of the first decade of the 21st century, analog magnetic tape has been largely replaced by digital recording technologies. Since some early refinements improved the fidelity of the reproduced sound, magnetic tape has been the highest quality analog recording medium available. The alternative recording technologies of the era, transcription discs and wire recorders, could not provide anywhere near this level of quality and functionality. It gave artists and producers the power to record and re-record audio with minimal loss in quality as well as edit and rearrange recordings with ease. Magnetic tape revolutionized both the radio broadcast and music recording industries. ![]() This German invention was the start of a long string of innovations that have led to present-day magnetic tape recordings. Prior to the development of magnetic tape, magnetic wire recorders had successfully demonstrated the concept of magnetic recording, but they never offered audio quality comparable to the other recording and broadcast standards of the time. The use of magnetic tape for sound recording originated around 1930 in Germany as paper tape with oxide lacquered to it. Tape-recording devices include the reel-to-reel tape deck and the cassette deck, which uses a cassette for storage. In its present-day form, it records a fluctuating signal by moving the tape across a tape head that polarizes the magnetic domains in the tape in proportion to the audio signal. 1978Īn audio tape recorder, also known as a tape deck, tape player or tape machine or simply a tape recorder, is a sound recording and reproduction device that records and plays back sounds usually using magnetic tape for storage.
