This must be the craziest thing I've ever seen in my entire life. And I LOVE it!

Put a huge smile on my face this morning. Long live The Floppotron!

As someone who works in manufacturing, seeing these custom controllers is a thing of beauty😍. They aren't big and aren't controlling extremely complicated devices, but still very very impressive none the less. I can tell a lot of work was put into this, it turned out very professional looking. That is like engineering Art!👍

It has to be epic to actually be there to hear these in person!

Beyond Dope!!! Well done, Sir.

WOW DUDE I'm glad someone remembers how a full version upgrade is SUPPOSED to feel! This is so much more musical than 2.0, which was already quite good. This feels like a full step out of novelty and into genre.

I hope this ends up in a museum one day. This is a work of art.

Musical instruments sound emulation 3.5" Floppy disk drives: Guitars, Bass, Piano/Keyboard instruments and Brass instruments Hard disk drives: Drums Flatbed scanners: Guitars, Brass instruments and Vocals

This is nuts! I can't even begin to imagine how you came up with the idea, or even how long it took to make the 1st one, let alone this beast. Great job.
