Star Wars Theme on FLOPPOTRON 3.0 

You have come long way since double floppy imperial march. Well done :D

True story: I worked on the floppy disk line for Micropolis in the 1970's as a technician. I was fooling around and got the drives to tap out a rhythm. We were only 10 employees then, and the VP heard from his office. I thought I was going to get yelled at. Instead, he and another engineer went back to his office for about an hour, then came out, put a disk in the tester, and proceeded to have the disks tap out a full song on the thing. Hilarious! Rest in Peace, Eric Dunstin.

Ok, this definitely is the droid I'm looking for.

We have gone from "oh, wow, never knew you could play the imperial march with a few floppy drives" to "this is dark magic, how do those storage and printing devices sound better than my speakers"

So, is the Imperial March the equivalent of fully christening a new Floppytron? Because I'm all for that!

So that's why the price of old floppy drives have gone through the roof

The lightbars on the scanners really ties it all together, specially in the second half. Also the richness of v3.0 sound is fantastic!

You're a 21st century equivalent to the Majestic Bellowphone. There's a theme-restaurant here called Organ Stop Pizza. It features a massive pipe organ with loads of accessory instruments. The whole thing is now midi, retrofitted into a "Mighty Wurlitzer" console. I think you're qualified to work on it.

Now witness the firepower of this fully armed and operational FLOPPOTRON!

I sense much fear in you young floptron 3, floptron 1 didn't tell you what happened to floptron 2.0, did it? Floptron 1.0 It told me enough, you killed it! No Floptron 3.0, I created you with it's parts! You are Floptron 2.0! Floptron 2.0 Nooooooooooooo!

If you only knew the power of the FLOPPOTRON!!

!!! The FLOPPOTRON strikes back! !!! 😄😄👍👍

Man, i wish we could get Duel of the Fates on Floppotron one of these days, but the chorus will be a real problem.

Thank you all knowing RU-vid algorithm for feeding this masterpiece

Okay, the "shave and a haircut, two bits" ending just sent me over the edge🤣🤣🤣

A ABSOLUTLY fantastice way to give life to the FLOPPOTRON3.0

I am always impressed at how you can make an orchestra out og old computer parts. Well done.

Guy plays Star Wars Theme and neighborhood lights dim... OH THAT WAS YOU? ROFL I just love this. Such a Genius project.

I would sooo love to see a Collab with you and Wintergarten ^^

I LOVE how the FLOPPOTRON evolved over the years.

I like to imagine that somewhere inside the Death Star, a Computer Administrator would play the Imperial March in the morning with Floppotron 3.0 hardware.

Well I’ve revisited this channel since my childhood and I am delighted. VERY DELIGHTED.

The best thing about the Imperial March section is that the sea of floppy disk lights looks like something you'd see in the Death Star or other Imperial tech

Every time I watch these videos it puts a smile on my face..

Wow I ve been waiting for this one!!! Just Fantastic

This was the first song I saw of yours when you only had about 2 floppy drives and that was it. I was still blown away back then, but this thing is WOWOWOW, massive improvement. Amazing work.

It just occurred to me that he set the whole system up perfectly for a musician. The floppydrive "keyboard" clearly indicated what note they were playing and what key. Also, the monitor showed which instruments were currently active as if it's a symphonic score. As an orchestral musician myself, I am considerably amazed the heart and energy that went into this project. Please don't stop making videos. Thankssssss....

This is amazing, but as an old head, there will always be a special place in my heart for the original flopotron

i did a marathon of floppy duo floppy octet floppotron and floppotron 2.0 playing imperial march / star wars theme for a first listen to this version honestly so worth it

hmm, the only problem with this, that it gets better and better, and in one or two more generation, it will be hardly distinguishable from the actual music.

I love the inverted piano key color scheme of the tower of floppies.

Turning loads of deprecated computer equipment into musical instruments: $1000+ Coding out the Star Wars theme line by line: $2000+ of time Animating the machines to also be visually pleasing: cost $$$ of a pro designer Ending the Imperial March with Shave & a Haircut: priceless

Those floppies man 😍

That ending though 😂 This is just fantastic. I particularly love the lighting.

Ah, the classic ending of the Star Wars Theme is so iconic.

Somehow, Floppotron has returned...

Haha, I love how your first song after the opening act of Floppotron 3.0 with the circus song is that Star Wars song, the same song as you flashed back to from your Floppotron version 1 with just the two drives!

This is brillant! Finally the Imperial March came to the set of Instruments it was always meant for. Thank you!

Finally, after 10 years, Imperial March remastered.

While there are plenty of downsides to living in one of the craziest timelines, it also means we get to marvel at and enjoy creations like this.

The force is strong in the floppotron.

Standing in the room with all the natural acoustic sounds of the equipment would be mental

The electronics actually involved in running such a masterpiece are just stupid crazy

To się robi coraz lepsze z każdym kolejnym filmem

That's just so... Nostalgic.

This is amazing I am so happy to see the flopatron come so far from playing this on two floppy drives

That was amazing but that ending, mmm, perfection.

Playing this version after the previous Floppotron's rendition, you really can hear the difference! 2.0 version: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-63qtYi1nwcs.html

I love how this new stack of floppy drives looks like a musical keyboard on the left side in traditional colors, and then and even bigger keyboard on the right in reverse colors!

Gosh, this is sounding excellent! I know you get countless requests from people, but I really think that Electric Avenue would sound amazing through the Floppotron!

omg. the floppotron has expanded dramatically since last i saw it xD

USB Scanner : When I grow up I will become a lightsaber. Jedi Master : The Force is STRONG in this one

This is almost 8 bit quality lol. I can hear similar coming out my old Sega Master System or Atari. Amazing!!

Now this is a proper, powerful setup. Impressive

That’s amazing how impressive the 3.0 version is. Do you suppose, it has the capacity to even synthesize speech like those talking midi controlled, acoustic pianos that, I’ve seen, from time to time?

imagine someone see this in the 70`s-80`s , they think omg this is the future of 2190 LOL

This makes me just feel so good I can't even explain it, nostalgia on so many levels, thank you so much for every Floppotron video you've ever made and may you continue to make many more videos in the years to come =)

With tears in my eyes i applaud

First time I've seen this and the only word I can think of is SPECTACULAR!!! I am an old guy and I remember all those sounds and you put that much work to make this, impressive.

Wow this is amazing!

Really glad to see this medium of music evolving and growing!

This my friends is the power of iteration.

this is just a masterpiece if art. really lovin the 3.0 just amazing

"Now witness the harmonizing power of this fully armed and operational Floppo-station! Conduct at will, Commander."

Wowee! Sounds spectacular! Very well done! Saw a suggestion on the last video I liked, you should have it perform The Stars and Stripes Forever, next!

-"how many floppy drive do you want ?" -"yes"

The imperial march will always be a banger

I really hope you never retire this channel !

Imperial strike again 😎😎😎 🎵. Great 👍 job man!!!!

HAIL to the NEW FLOPPOTRON!

The Imperial March gave me flashbacks to Star Wars games.

You sir are a nerd's equivalent of the Jedi Grandmaster Yoda. Total respect here!

God the new Floppotron sounds amazing.

Thanks recommend. It's been awhile since i seen one of these videos

We definetly need Anakin and Padme theme on this magnificence!

With things like this, brings a whole new level to Recycling! Instead of winding up in a landfill, poisoning the ground, he makes wonderful MUSIC!!

Seller: Why do you need so much old floppy disk readers, hard drived and printers? Paweł: You mean my musical instruments? Seller: *confusingly melting his brain*

love how you set up the floppy drives as a piano..

Very cool!!! We are all excited to see what else you will play!

And I thought I was a nerd. I freaking love this!

Perfect first video post the introduction of Ftx 3.0

I think Funiculi Funicula would be an awesome song for this masterpiece.

I praise you. Magnificent work!

_Shave and a a haircut... two bits_ Okay that had me rolling at the end.

Sometimes RU-vid throws out some things that make you feel glad that you watched it 👍

Floppotron 4.0 is gonna be able to do such complex sound it can play full waveforms, and we'll get an entire Star Wars movie played over it. ^_~

Seeing the drives light up in red like that makes this really ominous, like the AI is becoming self aware and it's personality is based on every available recording of Darth Vader.

These are the driods I was looking for!

I truly truly wish I could express how awesome and amazing I think this is. I would love to make something that sounds like this.

Rube Goldberg would be honored. That was brilliant!

I hope this has been classified as a new official world wonder...

Through the fire and the flames to really test it

Now witness the firepower of this fully operational floppotron

absolutely EPIC!!! also loved the way you ended the song :D

this is MADNESS!!!!!

Absolutely Epic

Awesome. If I had heard this without the video, I'd swear it was a synthesized chiptune. I love everything about this sound.

Near perfect! Love it!

The red lights on the scanners during the imperial march section is a really nice touch. Please consider this comment my pitch for doing more movie scores on this version of the Floppotron. The orchestral stuff sounds really fun on the 3.0

Wasn't expecting that ending.
