I used to work in a medical company that made syringe pumps. The pumps had stepper motors to control the injection speed, and I was the one who wrote the software for them. In order to test my code, I had the syringe pump play "Jingle Bells". Unfortunately, there was only one stepper motor so it wasn't as musical as this video.
@@jayharrison2200 No, I didn't. However, there is an Easter egg in the pump. If you enter 7777 for the pump address, you get to play Brickout. PHD Ultra by Harvard Apparatus is the pump.
Theoden Sure, but the more mass the more volume you can get out of em vs a smaller motor. EQing a smaller motor playing low would work too, but where’s the fun in that? :)
mrgeraldbrent I was suggesting that there was a way to do bass without a larger stepper motor. However it would be hilarious to see these 4 main stepper motors flanked by 2 massive ones 4x the size of these acting as the basses.

Very cool :) I definitely love stepper motor music 🙂 And the Wellerman played on steppers is just awesome 👍 Also the analog amplification using a guitar body is clever 😉 Although I am getting kind of nauseous by the shaking of the camera on the strings 😨
“Once the tongue-ing is done” is actually the lyric. Tonguing is the term for cutting out a whales tongue which goes for very high in the market. Also it’s “take our leave and go”

I was printing some parts for my 3DLabPrint Spitfire model a while ago - summer time, all the windows open and suddenly the house was surrounded by currawongs making a very similar calls to the noise of the X-Y axis motion of a very noisy Wanhao as it printed the part perimeter!

Every once in a while (and right at the end) you can actually see the steppers find the resonant frequency of the steppers/guitar body/camera assemblage.
Each stepper should have been individually mounted and then held against the guitar body with a resonant spring separately, the way you have it now the mass of the other 3 steppers is working as a resonant damper for each one.

the stepper motors are placed on a guitar. that's why it sounds like this

So if you put them on a rock, would it sound like an electric guitar?

Hey what year was it you worked on it?
Get a bigger motor and throw in that low low bass part. :)
He could do bass with these same motors. Just rotate them slower

The floppotron has competition.
No one can beat floppotron

They should do a collab vid. That would be epic.

Lowkey vibing

Probably because Bad Synthesis™!
Never expected to hear such clean harmony out of a few stepper motors.
"Three o'clock at night. I have to sleep"

Lyrics: There once was a ship that put to sea
The name of the ship was the Billy of Tea
The winds blew up, her bow dipped down
O blow, my bully boys, blow
Soon may the Wellerman come
To bring us sugar and tea and rum
One day, when the tonguin’ is done
We’ll take our leave and go
She had not been two weeks from shore
When down on her a right whale bore
The captain called all hands and swore
He’d take that whale in tow
Soon may the Wellerman come
To bring us sugar and tea and rum
One day, when the tonguin’ is done
We’ll take our leave and go
Before the boat had hit the water
The whale’s tail came up and caught her
All hands to the side, harpooned and fought her
When she dived down below
Soon may the Wellerman come
To bring us sugar and tea and rum
One day, when the tonguin’ is done
We’ll take our leave and go
No line was cut, no whale was freed
The Captain’s mind was not of greed
But he belonged to the whaleman’s creed
She took the ship in tow
Soon may the Wellerman come
To bring us sugar and tea and rum
One day, when the tonguin’ is done
We’ll take our leave and go
For forty days, or even more
The line went slack, then tight once more
All boats were lost, there were only four
But still that whale did go
Soon may the Wellerman come
To bring us sugar and tea and rum
One day, when the tonguin’ is done
We’ll take our leave and go
As far as I’ve heard, the fight’s still on
The line’s not cut and the whale’s not gone
The Wellerman makes his regular call
To encourage the Captain, crew, and all
Soon may the Wellerman come
To bring us sugar and tea and rum
One day, when the tonguin’ is done
We’ll take our leave and go
Soon may the Wellerman come
To bring us sugar and tea and rum
One day, when the tonguin’ is done

Amazing haha very creative 👏
Mom: son,what do you want for Christmas?
Son: stepper motors
Mom: ok
Son when he got the stepper motors:
This works by motors spinning at different speeds, thus creating higher or lower-pitched sounds
I love that because it's mounted to an acoustic guitar the body amplifies them
Whenever I hear this, I think "Oh look, this is the Mitten Man song."
My son recognized this tune by name which surprised the hell out of me.
I love this stuff! I worked with industrial steppers like these but I never thought of making music. Shame on me.
Wellerman on stepper motors, two years later, still no GTA6 😢
Someone: what kind of music do you hear?
Him: it is quite difficult...
Getting them all to end pointing upwards... I wonder if the tolerances allow it.
Now that i've heard what stepper motors can do, my 3d printer really needs to up its game
Every once in a while (and right at the end) you can actually see the steppers find the resonant frequency of the steppers/guitar body/camera assemblage.
The Wellerman may come soon, but I just did because of this video 💦
I fell asleep during the 8th time in a tow listening to this and woke up with the 2001 NBA all star game
Why was I actually vibing to this
Well done! Good sounding.
Each stepper should have been individually mounted and then held against the guitar body with a resonant spring separately, the way you have it now the mass of the other 3 steppers is working as a resonant damper for each one.
stunning!
