Honestly dude, this is a technical marvel even bigger than that guy with the marble machine. It just blows my mind that you were able to figure out how to wire all these things together, never mind the fact that you are making MUSIC with it all.

WOW DUDE I'm glad someone remembers how a full version upgrade is SUPPOSED to feel! This is so much more musical than 2.0, which was already quite good. This feels like a full step out of novelty and into genre.

@@spearmaster_ With precise enough timing and pitching, i bet the bank of floppy drives could probably replicate a very robotic human voice, similar to how you can sometimes hear voices in songs that are directly converted to midi from waveforms

Playing this song, which is perceived by many to be the circus theme, play as the first song of the Floppotron 3.0 is just genius

You've come quite a long way, my friend. Exceptionally impressive. I came for the assembly language and peizo buzzers and stayed for the incredible effort and gnarly tunez. :D

This circus favorite is so fitting, really reminds me of automatic organs that terrorise our city centers here in Holland. Floppotron is a cool electronic version of those things. ❤

As someone who works in manufacturing, seeing these custom controllers is a thing of beauty😍. They aren't big and aren't controlling extremely complicated devices, but still very very impressive none the less. I can tell a lot of work was put into this, it turned out very professional looking. That is like engineering Art!👍

No, each of the columns represent a channel (the equivalent of a finger on a piano if you will) the number of playing drives on each column represents the volume. Source: the documentation in the video description If you are talking about the coloring of the drives then yes it represents a piano
