You have come long way since double floppy imperial march. Well done :D

[dumboy]

We have gone from "oh, wow, never knew you could play the imperial march with a few floppy drives" to "this is dark magic, how do those storage and printing devices sound better than my speakers"

[ardag]

Ok, this definitely is the droid I'm looking for.

[leokimvideo]

So that's why the price of old floppy drives have gone through the roof

[sollowe]

So, is the Imperial March the equivalent of fully christening a new Floppytron? Because I'm all for that!

True story: I worked on the floppy disk line for Micropolis in the 1970's as a technician. I was fooling around and got the drives to tap out a rhythm. We were only 10 employees then, and the VP heard from his office. I thought I was going to get yelled at. Instead, he and another engineer went back to his office for about an hour, then came out, put a disk in the tester, and proceeded to have the disks tap out a full song on the thing. Hilarious!

Rest in Peace, Eric Dunstin.

The lightbars on the scanners really ties it all together, specially in the second half. Also the richness of v3.0 sound is fantastic!

[ProtoMario]

I sense much fear in you young floptron 3, floptron 1 didn't tell you what happened to floptron 2.0, did it?

Floptron 1.0 It told me enough, you killed it!

No Floptron 3.0, I created you with it's parts! You are Floptron 2.0!

Floptron 2.0

[Daanlikkewaan]

If you only knew the power of the FLOPPOTRON!!

[pierriebezuidenhout]

Standing in the room with all the natural acoustic sounds of the equipment would be mental

[discreet_boson]

Now witness the firepower of this fully armed and operational FLOPPOTRON!

[TWX]

You're a 21st century equivalent to the Majestic Bellowphone.

There's a theme-restaurant here called Organ Stop Pizza. It features a massive pipe organ with loads of accessory instruments. The whole thing is now midi, retrofitted into a "Mighty Wurlitzer" console. I think you're qualified to work on it.

[Nekomancer]

Man, i wish we could get Duel of the Fates on Floppotron one of these days, but the chorus will be a real problem.

[jonathanlai]

It just occurred to me that he set the whole system up perfectly for a musician. The floppydrive "keyboard" clearly indicated what note they were playing and what key. Also, the monitor showed which instruments were currently active as if it's a symphonic score. As an orchestral musician myself, I am considerably amazed the heart and energy that went into this project. Please don't stop making videos.

[GetloHawking]

The best thing about the Imperial March section is that the sea of floppy disk lights looks like something you'd see in the Death Star or other Imperial tech

[ridergilwin]

It’s still short. To the point. No ads. I love it.

[stormgear]

I like to imagine that somewhere inside the Death Star, a Computer Administrator would play the Imperial March in the morning with Floppotron 3.0 hardware.

[OlaftheGreat]

The increased number of floppy drives is a noticeable improvement in just how fantastic it sounds

[TruckDrivinGamer]

Okay, the "shave and a haircut, two bits" ending just sent me over the edge🤣🤣🤣

[DirkHillbrecht]

This is brillant! Finally the Imperial March came to the set of Instruments it was always meant for. Thank you!
