0 a plastic strip covered with a magnetic substance on which sound, images, or computer information can be recorded --
The two hot-wire voltages and the wave-recordervoltage were each sampled sequentially once every 48ms, converted to a 12-bit binary number, and recorded on magnetic tape.
The values were chosen such that the transforms available from the triple correlation computations (stored on magnetic tape) could be used again, thus avoiding recomputation of some transforms.
It must be kept in mind that magnetic tape was a completely new medium that radically improved the sound quality and the way sound was manipulated.
For most of the past fifty years, however, electroacoustic music has also been predominantly stored on analogue magnetic tape.
This was computed digitally for each water depth and wave amplitude and was recorded on magnetic tape for subsequent play-back.
The whole of this material is on magnetic tape, and so can be kept under continuous revision.
If, as the author states, it is 'easy to store pulses of different amplitudes on magnetic tape', why is binary the ideal coding scheme?
The raw data are digitized a t a rate of 200 points per second per variable and written onto magnetic tape for analysis.
