Floppy Korobeiniki (Tetris Theme)

[AcidIssue]

Dear Ladies and Gentlemen, this is exactly why being a nerd is awesome. <3 Dear Mr. Sammy1AM, you, sir, are made of win.

[TimtehGlaceon]

Wow.

[TiBullGer]

must be asian floppy drives

[AXTUNGREAD]

Невероятно! это же какие надо мозги для этого иметь.

[turtle79070]

its funny, each floppy cant even hold that much music :D

[cockroachbalogna]

@Sammy1AM If everyone donated a shit-ton of floppy drives, and some cases for you to stack them up in so you could move them like huge stacks of Marshall amps, live concert? :P

[Sammy1Am]

@cockroachbalogna I-- uh... man, that would be scary. I'm super busy with stuff now, but I won't rule that out as a possibility in the future...

[cockroachbalogna]

@Sammy1Am Just had the idea from the way they're stacked in computers while thinking about those standing warmers in bakeries. It'd kinda be a pain in the ass to put together, would pull a lot of power for one computer to handle i'd think. Wanted to share the thought. Didnt mean to cause intimidation :s

[Sammy1Am]

@cockroachbalogna No no, scary in an awesome sort of way. I mean to stand in front of a tower of computer parts and wires playing music would be crazy. I've got a welder, so I could custom-make a rack or something, and some people online have pointed out that I only need a 5v power supply. It's a great thought actually; one I will keep in mind.

[nNexusOne]

@Sammy1Am I would totally love to have some of your tunes as ringtones, would that be possible?

[Sammy1Am]

@nNexusOne I've been getting that request a lot, so I'll start doing a separate audio recording on future videos for higher-quality downloads.  I'll be re-doing Korobeiniki in stereo with 8 drives soon too; stay subscribed and you'll see it soon. =)

[nNexusOne]

@Sammy1Am Nice 1, thanks for the quick reply m8. Keep up the good work! :)

[GnomesPhone]

You should do ponies -_-

[Sammy1Am]

@GnomesPhone *coughcheckmychannelcough*

@GnomesPhone /watch?v=_HhoIku_-yM&feature=B­Fa&list=UL73Sie3yrcnE&lf=mfu_i­n_order

[TakeWalker]

This one's actually really good too. You oughta consider redoing it with your improved recording setup. :D

[Sammy1Am]

@TakeWalker I really wanted to, but wasn't sure anyone else would want it. Thanks for the suggestion; now I can do it =D.

[doggie015]

@Sammy1Am Is it possible for you to do an extended version when you get around to it? 1:08 is not nearly enough time to fully enjoy the sound!

[Sammy1Am]

@doggie015 I will take that into consideration =)

[tonnieannelewis]

TETRISGASUM

[mrhenk007]

tutorial?

[Sammy1Am]

@mrhenk007 Hopefully over Christmas break.

[eatingmaplesyrup]

@Sammy1Am please do a tute! Really cool stuff :)

[howitzergun]

Let`s play some Tetris mother fucker!

[42f87d89]

could you make a little input program so that the "asdf" row is assigned to notes so you can play this as a piano?

[masterofthecontinuum]

@42f87d89 OMG YES!

[Sammy1Am]

@42f87d89 @masterofthecontinuum Yeah, okay. It won't be til after Christmas probably though. I'm going to try to get a nice tutorial together and clean up the software for MIDI files first.

I'll try to remember to come back and tell you guys.

[EFmw2clan]

You should insert floppies inside, that would make it sound much louder.

[Sammy1Am]

@EFmw2clan This video actually has disks in the drives (you can just barely see the red, white, and green colors). I recently tried without disks and it's actually a little louder without them (I think they act to dampen some vibrations).

[EFmw2clan]

@Sammy1Am That's odd... Well, besides the fact that it isn't loud, awesome video :)

[frotz661]

@Sammy1Am Maybe tightly fastening the drives to a wooden surface, say, the inside of a shallow box, would serve as a resonator to make the sound louder.

[Sammy1Am]

@frotz661 Thanks for the idea, I might toy around with that at some point. My new rig with 8 drives has the drives centered around a gap so that at least I can put the microphone sort of right in the middle of all of them.

[SightlyAbyss]

Thats about all their good for these days.

[codmad1000]

THAT.....WAS.........EPIC

[KoBaPeH]

Korobeyniky remix xD

[killerhobo97]

Have extra drives and out midi melody to them so you hear the melody better.. Am I normal for a 14 year old? Or do I think I know too much? I like drives and shit and building pc's and experiment with simple arduino

[spacehelmetforacow]

@killerhobo97 Does it really matter? "normal" is just another word for "boring", as far as I'm concerned.

I'm 17, and I too like messing around with floppy drives, and other various old electronics stuff (LaserDiscs! old gaming consoles! weird videotape formats no-one's used in years!)

[SigEpBlue]

@spacehelmetforacow Have you been able to find any Sony Betamax or 8-track cassette devices? I find those old magnetic media devices interesting, as well. 'Normal' is only boring if you haven't taken it apart or modified it yet; all of these devices have hidden treasures or functionality inside. Or magic smoke, which emerges if you do something wrong. lol

[spacehelmetforacow]

@SigEpBlue Afraid not, but I do have a reel-to-reel audio recorder. (Not a *nice* one, mind you, but it's still fun to play around with...)

[billionthb]

Better than the flight of the bumblebee one, only prob is that the harmony really overpowers the melody. Not sure how you would go about fixing that tho...

[brando12003]

who needs the interwebz when u have FDDs

[SmugglerTheCanid]

<3 <3 <3 <3 <3

[MoskovkinNikita]

Мощно ! )



[Yakuzaxpl]

Just WOW! (O_O)

[Eng3nhoc4s]

FUCKIN AMAZING!!!

[MosinNagantMan1]

This sounds positively evil.

[harrack12]

this is the future of floppy drives. If I could, I would buy this device!

[sicfuck87]

you should totally make one for the legend of zelda hyrule overworld theme

[esirunor]

Buenísimo

[MistaUnnamed]

There are:

-Vinyl deejays

-CD deejays

-Laptop deejays

The future is:

-Floppy deejays?!?!!?!

[mickydoos]

Genius! Is it true that this generally will bugger the motors?

[Sammy1Am]

@mickydoos Floppy disks store information on circular 'tracks', under normal operation, the read-head from the drive moves back and forth one track at a time. The pitches in the video are made by switching tracks at a certain frequency. So while this would represent some very-heavy disk usage, it shouldn't destroy the motors too quickly since it's more or less 'normal' operation.

[MrSkarpen]

Now do the same with Bluray drives so we can have a Dubstep-version!

[sneskegagama]

@MrSkarpen NO JUST NO

[MrSkarpen]

@sneskegagama They see me trollin, they be hatin! - C'moooon dont be hatin! ;*

[sneskegagama]

@MrSkarpen I saw that I just hate Dubstep it sucks.

[MrSkarpen]

@sneskegagama Stop hatin! And take a joke as its a joke :D

[sneskegagama]

@MrSkarpen I can take a joke just sayin

[Singinsista04]

@MrSkarpen ok that would be epic lol

[BeefCaike]

Brilliant!

[MindLessWiz]

FUCKING AWESOME! :D

[sergiet1000]

WTF?

[LTSsLither]

This should be called "Tetris: Industrial remix"
