    Default Floppy Instrument V2

    Long story short, the base my physics project was on broke. So, I put them into a spare case, added two drives, and got some better cabling.

    Don't have pix yet, but man, it's NICE. 8 whole floppy drives.

    YouTube time soon methinks....

    I need to fix my pile up too. They're a ton of fun to play with. Also need to find a way to record the audio in stereo.

    I think I have an idea for stereo, but it requires another Duino and setup.


    And some serious tweaking in your MIDI-editing software.
