Floppy Disks 1

SileNT – Floppotron, biggest floppy organ

The Floppotron by polish hacker SlieNT is a hugh array of 64 floppy drives, 8 hard disks and two scanners.
It uses the controls as we have seen have it before but the project shines with its mass and build-quality. Also it implements volume control which gives it much more musical possibilities than similar hacks. Percussion-like sounds are realized with salvaged hard drives which are run against the casing to make the percussion “plopp”. Electronically, everything is realized with arduinos, which are wired as one big SPI-Chain to be finally controlled from a desktop computer.
