Master of Puppets on FLOPPOTRON 3.0 

I still remember how amazed I was when I say 2 floppy drives playing the imperial march. I could have never imagined how far this would go. I can only hope this project keeps surprising me for years to come

I'm astonished every time again and again how far the floppotron evolved from it humble beginnings

Holy shit, that guitar solo though. I definitely didn’t think I was going sit through all 8+ minutes, much less be blown away. Incredible drumming effects too

Paweł literally went and recreated an ENTIRE EIGHT MINUTE TRACK on Flopptoron. That's what I call dedication.

End of punching play, throw your cards away I'm your source of zip extraction Cables pump with fear, sucking all bits clear Leading on your data's destruction Test me you will see More is all you need Dedicated to How I'm deleting you Come crawling faster Obey your master Your disc runs faster Obey your master, master Master of drives, I'm reading your strings Twisting your memory, smashing your streams Blinded by me, you can't seek a thing Just call my letter 'cause I'll hear you scream Master, master!

This makes Master of Puppets sound even more like the theme from Doom! Great Job.

As a Metallica fan, I can't believe I listened to this entire thing. As an electrical engineer, I am fascinated by this.

I just love how he's nailed the articulation. Every note. Staccato, legato, every little pitch bend or scoop. The vibrato. I've heard my share of MIDI renditions of songs over the years. Nothing comes close to a Floppotron arrangement. It's so freaking good!

the instrumental section at the beginning sounds like some killer boss music

As an old nerd who spent his youth programming whilst actually having puppets blasting, this cut straight to my heart. Amazing, simply amazing

the sliding and vibrato sorta thing on the vocal part is really amazing, its not just like flat midi notes its actually accurate to hetfield

I've heard this song a thousand times, but I'm terrible at parsing lyrics so I never knew what it was about. Thanks to Floppotron including the lyrics, I now know it's about addiction!

It's almost scary how accurate this is, the drum fills, the odd time signatures, guitar solos. I am amaze

Brings a new definition to METAL!

There was a point in the song where I suddenly felt like the lyrics weren't just being sung by the printers, but written by them, I interpreted the rest of the song in this way, and it was great. Tysm for putting the lyrics up there, i never wouldve done this otherwise lol. Also - this made me want to start playing guitar again. I stopped after playing from 8yo to 29. I'm 38 now, and this made me realize just how bad I miss just jamming out for fun. This was so on point it really just reignited my passion for playing music lmao

That interlude was so satisfying to hear, all the parts were programmed so well.

If you aren't familiar with the original song (1st, definitely a classic so please do), please note that this isn't just a computer hardware beeping/clicking simulation: it's an exact note-for-note recreation for every instrument + vocals. Amazing.

This brings me back to playing OG Doom in the high school computer lab! Both the music listened to and that it sounds like it should be part of the soundtrack. Love it!

Besides the incredible hardware ingenuity setting this up, programming the software, and mastering the song, here we are with a video of quality editing, creating interest and dynamism throughout. If anyone asks me what the Internet is all about, I will simply link them to this video. A+

The solo around 6:00 made me crack up, this is so well done!

This will be forever in my list of best Metallica covers of all time. Impressive.

The beginning part sounds SO much like its from original Doom lol. Amazing stuff, this translates insanely well to the Floppo 3.0!

Floppotron 3.0 is an excellent band. It sounds as good live as it does in the studio.

Wow. My late friend Porf would have gotten a serious kick out of this, had he been around to see it! This one's for you, Porf! Rest in peace, my friend.

It's like the FLOPPOTRON 3.0 was designed for this song! What a masterpiece!

Okay, I seriously need a Floppotron-ified version of Orion or One in my life now. That was superb!

I just wanted to pop in and say "YOUY DID IT!" I think you are finally getting some recognition for this amazing creation of yours. I remember the initial 2 drive video from over a decade ago. I think you waited just long enough. Wether by choice or accident. You were so far ahead of your time, but now retro shit is in. You can make a ton of youtube money if you just keep pumping out songs. maybe do a deep dive on some of the wayus you did some things. This is your big break man! You made nma awesome machine b ro.

Whole thing was incredible as usual but the guitar solo, WOW. He got the blues bends and tremelo picking perfectly.

As a drummer who was inspired by Lars and knows all of his parts 99% by heart I am beyond impressed that the drum parts are SPOT ON here. Incredible.

Wow when the little flairs for the lyrics started happening my jaw dropped. Holy shit this is incredible

Man, one of the best videos you've done in a while. Utilising everything FLOPPOTRON 3.0 has to offer, sick drum usage of the hard drives AND your edit skills in this one is so good!

As a Metallica fan, let me say that I am absolutely blown away by this.

This is what MIDI aspired to be back in the day. Beautiful rendition.

Moments like this remind me of how incredible the Internet really is. It can be a truly creative place... just because it can. Floppotron 3.0 is truly an icon 🤘🤘

Even on Floppotron, this song never fails to give me chills

I think the most impressive diplay of technical prowess from this mix of machine and music is the way the Flopotron pulls off vocal vibrato. Absolutely incredible!

This is both hilarious and incredible. The fact that pioneering technology from the 80's and early 90's is used to make music for fun cracks me up. I love it!

This is criminally under rated. I can only imagine the time it took to put this together.

Goosebumps. You’ve given me the shivers and a great big cheesy grin you lunatic. Thankyou for making the world just a little bit better with your amazing creativity. Don’t stop :-)

I still remember being blown away by 2 floppy drives playing the empirial march... This is a thing of beauty and genius.

Oh the harmony, oh the beauty. This is mind blowing Edit: The solo part omg...

I'm not by any means a Metallica fan, but the sheer artistry of arranging such a song on computer hardware is nothing short of brilliant.

Now, that was VERY impressive. I know this song very well and this was flawless. I understand the only limitations are due to the hardware, but I am definitely not complaining. If you want a good suggestion to really test out the Floppytron, you should try to do something from the Megadeth "Rust In Peace" album, either Holy Wars or Hangar 18. Either one of these would sound amazing on the Floppytron, I can hear it already :)

As an engineering student in junior year of high school and metallica fan, this is super impressive and deeply amazes me. I know this took a lot of hard work.

The vibrato in the vocals is amazing!

Would kill to hear the 90's dance classic "Rhythm of the Night" on Floppotron, would be so catchy

If I was James i would personally travel there to watch this masterpiece live. Thats damn accurated and well done. Cannot be ANY more good. This is insane!

You've absolutely outdone yourself. It's perfect. You are truly the floppy wizard

These new percussion drives are hitting way different tho holy fk

3:53 This part is almost poetic to me. It’s almost like the robots are at work singing while trying to obey their “master”. Only way they can live is if they follow the masters orders.

Nahhh duuuuude! This was insane! My favourite Metallica song of all times played by the new Floppo! Thank you Soo much for this!

The drums, the solos, the vocals… this is mind blowing! Also props to the video edition, it makes it even better

I like that the drives are arranged to look like piano keys on left and inverse coloured keys on the right. Nice touch!

This might be the best one you've ever done. And that's a hell of a high water mark. Thank you.

I really love the endless variations of the drum sounds! Also the bending/vibrato/arpeggios on the scanners. Also the fact that you can regulate the loudness of the floppys by changing the number of columns that play the same sound! Fantastic work!

Wow amazing! First time seeing the floppotron and this was most definitely a great intro to the channel!

It's incredible how much more musicality this version of the Follotron is capable of.

I’m speechless. Well done, master of floppets lol

This is the most amazing thing I've seen on youtube so far in 2023. Thank you for this insanity. Now go listen to the song and this video will be even more amazing.

0:1 was tearing shit up.

I can't fathom the amount of hours you put into this. Firstly setting up these rigs, let alone programming music notation into binaural language!! Mind-blowing!!

LMFAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You out did yourself this time. That acoustic guitar part is one of the first things I played on guitar 35 years ago. The solo with the harmonies, are your freaking kidding me! Sincerely this is absolutely amazing.

Just another amazed guy listening this masterpiece after all those years you never disappoint us ❤

Im not sure what Im watching but it is amazing!

Jesus christ, the solos were so fire i'm amazed the floppotron didn't get engulfed in flames. Absolute masterpiece

Master of discs, you're pulling my wires!

That guitar solo sounded incredible!

I am most impressed by how fast youtube picked up to combine my latest interests on the site and came up with the perfect suggestion. Most excellent.

This is beautiful! Can we please get Orion? I can only imagine how beautiful that would sound!

It's my first time seeing the floppotron in action and i was NOT prepared for how amazing it is. I'm freaking out 🤯

You really captured the vibe of the original song. Amazing.

This is amazing . thank you .

Lifelong Metallica fan here, this is awesome. Just seeing the ways all manners of things get repurposed into musical instruments is always a joy. Smashing good work mate.

+ THIS HOLY CANTICLE BRINGS JOY TO THE OMNISSIAH + I've been there 11 years ago and still proud of your progress. Awesome as always!

Man this was insane! This hard work payed off you earned yourself a sub!!!

I am overwhelmed. So great. This is really impressive. Long live Floppotron 3.0, and later versions, of course. Awesome work.

Those solos. Amazing work.

i would love to see a DOOM series floppotron!

Epic implementation!

I don't know how long it's been glad to see the floptron is still going.

OMG the magic starts at 03:54 ...

Why can I click the thumb-up button only once? You deserve more

Simply amazing!

I cried a little. Awesome.

Wow, getting those pitch bends in the solo must have been a challenge! Great job. I always thought this song was about 3 minutes longer than it needed to be, but getting to watch it on the floppotron was awesome!

Always going to be a great day when a new Floppotron project drops!🎉🎉

A masterwork!! Bravo!!!

Awesome and beautiful! congrats!!

THAT solo in the end!😂 now the next step should definitely be "One"☺

YESSSSS METAL ON FLOPPOTRON! 🤘🔥🔥🔥 Edit: Oh my god, the instrumental part gave me chills. Good job!

Absolutely Awesome.

Amazing! with out words.

Fuck! This is so well done. The beats are so accurate that it's ridiculous. And the solos are just... *chef's kiss*

As always absolutely genious As a suggestion, could you do "bad apple!!" on the floppotron? I know, the song has been played on pretty much everything, but this is the version i miss the most :)

The amount of time you put into this is truly a treat to see this. Thank you!!

I can‘t even imagine how much time it must have taken to recreate note for note so perfectly! Amazing - hats off to you! 👍🏼

This is a masterpiece. I was waiting for something like this to really show off what this generation of floppotron is capable of.

Just absolutely insane. What a masterpiece of music, art, and technology. This is beautiful.

That was glorious!! Well done!!

Tears in my eyes. Absolutely awesome
