That level of skill . Machine timing n control. Big brother from 1984 might have a job for you lol. Definitely turned this hobby into a proper 11:) Very impressive
Do the reverse journey and watch the evolution of this beast from a couple drives to this, it's impressive (this one has previously been done with the Floppotron 2.0, you'll see the difference)
It's been 7 months, so Pawel is either working on a VERY complicated song or preparing to unveil a Floppotron 4.0 or something. I hope he's okay... Wishing everyone the best for 2024!
He’s gone totally silent since this video, looks like on Patreon and FB too. I hope it’s just other life priorities taken over and he’s still alive & well.
I don't wanna start rumors so Please keep in mind this is just speculation. He did talk about having some health issues 4 years ago hoping that didn't catch up to him.
I hope this person is just preparing a huge project so that when we go to his channel we will immediately see a new video and be surprised at how big this project turned out and it looks great I hope he hasn’t abandoned his channel
I don't know how to explain that I love everything about this video the "electronic" way in which the scanners sound to simulate voices. The click of the hard disks to simulate percussions, the growl of the floppy disks simulating what would be the guitars and basses. I love the detail at minute 2:09 of the pc crashing and restarting. I honestly love everything about this video, I really do Keep it up, man you rock.
To put this into perspective the 4000 watts this behemoth is drawing from the wall is 1/3rd the equivalent of an IMAX Theater Sound System at 12,000 watts. As a Fellow Nerd who loves old tech; Well Done Sir!
This, in my opinion, is one of the best covers by the floppotron. The sounds produced are just so fitting for the final countdown. I think next, that a few different songs would sound really good on it. Free Bird i think would be interesting, don't bring me down i feel that the guitar in it would sound amazing like the final countdown, and we didnt start the fire.
This time the audio mixing is perfect for the video! the sounds are rich and present when listening. The staging is really perfect (already for a few videos). A huge congratulations!
Beyond the hardware challenge with the controllers, they had to code all the instructions corresponding to a sound or note and create a tracker with all the instructions. Then the song had to be coded into the tracker. It's a mammoth task.
This is actually insane… And insanely cool too. I always whistled along with the boot sequence of my first pc in the 80s. Never thought the pc would whistle an actual song in the future 😂
Ideas for next songs: - "Superman" by Goldfinger - "Happier Than Ever" by Billie Eilish - "The Times They Are A-Changing" by Bob Dylan - "American Pie" by Don McLean - "Remember Me" from "Coco".
If there is one song I'd like to hear on the floppotron. it's an old classic of mine I'mnotacleverpony's For The New Lunar Republic. as a brony it's near and dear to my heart. I've heard it on 3 floppy drives now I'd like to hear it on the Floppotron 3.0, computer hardware orchestra.
Suggestion: Apparently not a lot of people have made a floppy drive motor rendition of ROBOT FTW (I found someone playing it on a literal electric arc). And Wangan Midnight Maximum Tune 3's soundtrack, It's very bass heavy so I wonder what it would sound like on the floppotron
Sure with the ones on the left that may be the case, but with those on the right it more closely resembles a harpsichord IMO where the couloured are more typically inverted.
SO sick. This is like, a fully functional electric organ now, practically. Also, why does it make me... weirdly emotional to see all those little floppy disk drives all working in tandem like that? I'm just so proud of them. :')
Listening to a song written for synthesizers being redone by a master artist of synthesized sounds just sends shivers everywhere. So wish I had extra hardware to donate to 4.0!
somebody needs to commission a factory to begin restoring/producing more units for the next version i want future generations to see the floppotron from dammed space
You can't even see this as a silly funny project anymore. This is now a serious music production device / instrument.
you're right!

Very impressive
It's basically a digital organ. So many moving parts to this. It's quite amazing.
and it is still a beta 😁
It just goes to show, having fun really turns a passion project into something perfect, that over time grows and becomes greater
Amazing arrangement as usual!
I loved the BSOD after the countdown LoL!
noticed
Yeah, that was the icing on the spindles!
bro after hearing the song for the third time i finally saw the BSOD XD
Unexpected nostalgia for the Energy Star logo 😍
Just like Apollo 11 having a green reboot of death (error 120x) multiple times during the landing!
HOW AM I ONLY DISCOVERING THE FLOPPOTRON NOW???? This is a masterpiece.

That blue screen of death was epic, what was even more epic is that the Floppotron kept playing! 😂
It was the final countdown
yes it was
I like how the pc blue screened at the end of the countdown
And that energy star logo, lol.

This was really cool, taking the floppy disk and inserting it to start, a simple detail silly but really very cool
Jedno pytanie : jak długo zajęło konfigurowanie całego sprzętu oraz ile programuje się jeden utwór???? Super robota :)
Na Srpskom jeziku:
Jedno pitanje:
Koliko dugo je trajalo konfigurisanje celoga hardvera i koliko se programira jedan nastup?
Super rabota.
This is such a bop! This particular 'instrumentation' works really well for this song!
Yay another song from Floppotron!
Sounds amazing as usual! =^_^=
Simply hypnotique
That, was, AWESOME!!!! I'ma play it again!
This is the kind of stuff we’ll have to listen to when the machines take over.
The last video...
I love that it has a huge stop button. 04:22 left side of the desk.
This time the audio mixing is perfect for the video! the sounds are rich and present when listening. The staging is really perfect (already for a few videos). A huge congratulations!
Solo majstersztyk
Crazy how you are able to replicate some of these sounds

The sheer nerdiness of this astounding but it's friggin awesome. Great job!
This is art.
The BSoD was amazing.
Absolutely fantastic and stunning, total respect!
i have no words to tell you how much i love your creation.
Omg loving it so much. ♥
Epically epic! Tremendously tremendous! Really very quite good.
it's perfect...
ALL HAIL FLOPPOTRON!!!
I'd love to hear anything by the Offspring! "Special Delivery" or "Hit That" (the USC Trojan cover )
EPIC engineering achievement AND musical ... my hero! 🤗
Cult. It's just cool cult. Fascinating, as always. Floppotron forever!
the BSOD was pretty cool too
Masterpiece
I like the bluescreen detail here.
Imagine hearing this on December 31, 1999, right before midnight
Grate!
Floppotron keeps getting better and better!🪚🪛🛠
When they said "you'll be listening to music on your computer," I don't *quite* think this is what they had in mind. Lol.
It's insane how epic it all sounds!!!
Как всегда великолепно!
This is actually insane… And insanely cool too. I always whistled along with the boot sequence of my first pc in the 80s. Never thought the pc would whistle an actual song in the future 😂

If you'd be willing to do it, I think it'd be awesome to hear through the fire and flames ported to the Floppotron 3.0
Always very impressive to watch everytime I watch your videos
must be SO LONG to make a certain music with this technique
"which song would you like to hear next ? write it in comments !" well here is the song i want : the french national anthem (la marseillaise)
nice, and BSOD was a nice touch!
what bsod?
@@kitty.x3 at 2:10 old school dos bsod ;)
If you come back could you do Buddy Holly? I was surprised it isn't already in 512 floppy drives, 16 hard disks, 4 scanners format
Really Nice! Love how you use the old Hardware to make Music! 😁
so fucking cool
all we need now is AC/DC Moneytalks or Alice Cooper Poison as cover on floppotron
Ideas for next songs:
- "Superman" by Goldfinger
- "Happier Than Ever" by Billie Eilish
- "The Times They Are A-Changing" by Bob Dylan
- "American Pie" by Don McLean
- "Remember Me" from "Coco".
Consider that this whole machine consumes a similar amount of energy as a single GPU under full load.
Adeptus Mechanicus love this shit!
at 2:10 you can see the computer display the "Blue Screen of Death" then reboot. I wonder if that was planned.
Joshua: Shall we play a game? DL: Love to. How about The Final Countdown?
It would be cool to cover the song Skaner - Wakacyiny romans!
Please do it!
I'd love to hear some Dio on this monstrosity. Holy Diver or Rainbow in the Dark
You should play Still Alive, Want You Gone, or Cara Mia Addio (all from portal)
OH FUCK YES PLEASERE
Hunters and collectors, holy grail, please.

The Countdown was too much for the FLOPPOTRON! It blue screened! 😂 Zajebiste czlowieku!
Pet Shop Boys - It's A Sin. I bet it's gonna sound epic on this
Meddl on
A song suggestion. Killer Queen by Queen. Something about the lyric "Dynamite with a laser beam" fits projects like this.
3rd month of waiting a "Bad Apple!!"
I'd love to see the Floppotron do a cover of "Sa it ain't so" by Weezer!
Соло бесподобно,!
Alright, let's see this beast perform Rufus' Welcoming Ceremony from Final Fantasy VII!
Hmmm.. I just had an idea for another one that I heard, not long ago. "Flowers On The Wall", by the Statler Brothers.
Флопиков даже больше чем у меня))) Маньячелло))
defo thumbs UP!
but what caused the blue screen of death at 2:10 ?
Breaking news: We have found the worlds supply of 3.5 drives.
Blue screen was Epic!😂

Can you do the main theme from The Amazing Digital Circus?

Here are some more ideas,

Oak Mountain Jig 2
02:10 that Bluescreen of Death - was it intetionally?
You make me cry 🥹👍🏻🤘🫡
so COOL！
How many W does the whole system consume?
And how many decibels is the maximum volume?
Nice! Do you think you could get these to imitate speech? It should be possible, shouldn't it?
i just though of you recently and realised I haven't seen a notification in months.
It's been 8 months, I hope you're doing okay, mate.
Yeah been 11 months now
Same. Hope he's alright.
Just hope this video really isnt his final countdown.
I hope that life happened in a really positive way. I wish Pawel all the best no matter what he is doing right now.
It's been like a year now

I love how the different colored disk drives are arranged to resemble piano keys.
I'm embarrassed to say how long it took me to realize that's what was going on with the coloring 😆
@@bmartin427 Don't worry, it took some other people a while, too.
Source: I only realised about 2 videos ago.
@@not-on-pizza I can confirm that. It took me a while as well.
Ohhh, of cause! I was thinking about what pattern it was.
Sure with the ones on the left that may be the case, but with those on the right it more closely resembles a harpsichord IMO where the couloured are more typically inverted.
Man this never gets old. Long live Floppotron!

I lost it at the boot sequence... :-)
they've found new purpose after years of collecting dust as a result of technological advancement
it's heartwarming
The third version of floppotron is incredibly detailed compared to its predecessor.
Can you make "Bad to the Bones"?
Considering this all started with 2 drives.
I can't even imagine what the 4.0 will be like
@@Sciguy95if it even happens
I'm super impressed by the accurate instrumentation, the "guitar riffs" and the "vocals" are my highlights.
Vocals are so goodamn well detailed that it's insane, you could really feel the echo of the voice Joey Tempest in it. Neat as hell.
@@andrzejnadgirl2029 Leaving Ground "leaving ground"

Ironically, I’ve never once heard any song on the Floppotron that I thought flopped. Excellent work, impressive as always.
It's always floppying but it never flops and never has flopped.
@@metallurgico It's a quantum superposition of both flopped and not flopped.
