Magnetic tape apparatus
 A cartridge of a single reel is inserted and information is recorded and reproduced by a helical scan type using a rotary head. A control pulse is reproduced from a recording signal of a control track of a magnetic tape by a fixed head. A repositioning operation and a high speed search are controlled on the basis of the control pulse. A torque ripple of a capstan motor is previously measured. When the tape runs, a motor drive current is corrected so as to reduce a torque change of one rotation on the basis of the measurement result, thereby improving a wow and flutter. A switching timing of motor coils by Hall sensors is set to an early timing, thereby suppressing a torque fluctuation. A regenerative braking circuit is formed by an OFF timing of a PWM control and a tape back tension is formed by a decrease in torque by the regenerative braking circuit. A tape thread and a tape wrap at the time of the insertion of the cartridge are simultaneously executed.
