"He's a pirate".. From the Pirates of the carribean

I've done a lot of classical music aswell on them..and it sounds AWESOME on some of them.. haven't had the time to get any better video yet though And I have to use a external mic to be able to capture the sound somewhat decently..


Toccata will be going up on my youtube channel pretty soon

It's a array of floppydrives hooked up to a microcontroller which is again connected to a computer which runs some software that converts midi-music to frequencies that the floppydrives can "play" by controlling the steppermotors

Oh no..I do this at home.. for "fun" when I have nothing else to do.
I guess that's sort of sad in a way

Atleast it's a learning experience. And something constructive.

Your kids must be so well behaved... lol. It takes me a week to get a regulator fixed because of my kids.

Remi, what software/type of microcontroller? I want to do this.

[R-M-I]

I use a Arduino UNO R3.. (ATMega).. But there are several controllers you can use

I really like the arduino though..

What is this? I don't even.

[R-M-I]

[Zombie Afroshot]

I must do this, Remi, you have inspired me! I'll make a motherfucking orchestra.

The whole floppydrive. I have no clue what they are http://www.techpb.co...ult/biggrin.gif I'm guessing some sort of harddrive.

But for some reason that music they produce is quite astounding.

[canscom]

a floppydrive is what you put floppydisks into if you dont know what they look like look at the picture next to save on you computer

[R-M-I]

And BAM.. I feel old when I meet people that haven't even heard of floppydrives...

I'm building a 8x array over the weekend
