The Floppotron 3.0 - Computer Hardware Orchestra

The big upgrade of my PC hardware orchestra. 512 floppy disk drives, 16 hard disks and 4 scanners. What do you want to hear next? Write it in comments!

You know you're doing good in life when your musical instrument has a dedicated emergency stop button

[Battleforge]

So that's where all the worlds floppy drives went...

[Alias_Anybody]

There should be a Floppotron soundfont to replicate that using a random midi file. It's beautiful.

I just love the fact that Pavel calls it "Beta". Like he's ironing out some final bugs before mass production, and then we'll soon have a floppotron in every home and office 😂

Original engineers: "We need to design these mechanical movements to be as quiet as possible". Pawel: "Hold my beer".

I am relieved to see and hear this marvel of engineering. The news that the Flopotron 2.0 would be decommissioned troubled me greatly yesterday evening. Mourning is over: The Floppotron is dead. Long live the Floppotron!

[JeffGeerling]

I feel like at some point a collaboration between you and Device Orchestra is inevitable.

[PrvBen]

I mean this in the kindest possible way, you look like exactly the kind of person to build an instrument containing 512 floppy disk drives, 16 hard disks and 4 scanners.

I'd like to think that the emergency stop buttons are there in case if Floppotron becomes self-aware.

I was sad to hear the 2.0 was going, but oh my god this is a hell of an upgrade. I feel like this belongs in some either music or tech museum once you’re finally done with it

[alopexau]

I let out an audible "holy crap" when he pulled the cover off that monolithic stack of floppy drives.

Absolute mad lad.

[LuficariusRatspeed]

Y'know what the best thing about the Floppotron is? It's an acoustic instrument.

[rowdyretromoose]

I was expecting fanfare, not clownfare. I admit I laughed WAY too hard at being caught off guard. Top quality as always, looking forward to what other songs 3.0 brings.

[mrradio]

Sir, you've just made a 71 year old man cry with happiness. What a marvelous machine! Bravo!

[imnotgivingmyname]

This may actually make it into a museum one day.
Here's hoping.

[BobBeverage]

Mr. Fucik (the composer) could never have imagined this, 120+ years ago. Great stuff.

[rijaja]

He had us in the first half, not gonna lie (please don't ever pretend to end the floppotron again)

[TheGameBench]

Imagine what building this monument would have cost back in the 80's.

[gavindavies]

This deserves to be bought by a modern art gallery for big money. It is wonderful, it literally fills people with wonder! So much better than most of the stuff that usually wins all the big money. Bravo!

I was worried that the last video was the end! Glad to see Floppotron remains.
