Funeral March and Taps | RIP Drive 4

Today, Friday, July 20, 2012, Floppy Drive number 4 of the Floppymentalist 7 drive ensemble died in a puff of smoke due to short circuit. It will be missed.
RIP Floppy Drive Number Four
The real reason for this video is to tell you all that until I can get a new floppy drive to replace number four, I will have to go on hiatus. Sorry all...
(yes, it was my fault that it shorted, and it wont happen again. always have the power OFF when screwing with the drives.)

IF I HAVE USED YOUR MIDI WITHOUT CREDIT, PLEASE CONTACT ME. I will GLADLY give you credit! Even if you think you sort of hear something you made in it, contact me; I have to do some editing of my own to get the floppies to play the music, and I sometimes use multiple sources. I always forget to go back and see who's MIDI file I use for my vids, but if you want credit, or even if you want me to take down a video, I will gladly comply.
The stepper motor at the back of the drive is what causes the sound. (Looks like a metal cylinder) The program I have converts MIDI notes into different speeds for those motors, which make a sort of clicking noise every time they move. The higher the note, the faster the motors move, and the higher the pitch.
Huge thanks goes out to Sammy1Am and MrSolidSnake745, who gave me the inspiriation to do these videos!
Sammy1Am made the Moppy program for the Arduino that actually allows the floppy drives to do this. His tutorial video can be found here: • Video
Also, lol im gonna tack this to every floppy video I make from now on. :D

:'( RIP. I was dumb and thought that one of my drives wasn't working because not enough voltage was supplied. Obvious answer: put 9V through the 5V power pin. They say all electronics are made with magic smoke, and that if you let the smoke out, it loses its magic. Well, drive number 6 from a while back is no longer magical :P Hope your new drive matches its predecessor in volume, tone and in spirit ;)

:'( My condolences.

Rest In Pieces...

[@LynneSkysong]

Is floppy going to be recycled is the great circle of electronics?

It's a very bad day for the humanity. :'(
