techdisk: @weimtime007 1 file, 4 separate tracks. I'll import the midi into FL and edit so that its within the limits of floppy drives. I'll also have to change which channel each track is on because i wired the drives weirdly so that 1 is main melody, 2 is main bass, 3 is a much quieter bass, and 4 is second melody.

techdisk: @weimtime007 and I have the free version of FL, so I don't think I can open a project file.

techdisk: @weimtime007 WOO! PERFECT! I got two desegnated "bass" drives and two "melody" drives. it's amazing how floppy drives can be somehow suited to diffrent notes. And you could send the file, but I'm on my iPod now and won't be able to do anything with it (not even download) till at earliest tomorrow night.

techdisk: @weimtime007 and about the drives, I have a few places that I can get some. There are two I could literally just ask for and get em free, and at the very least one but likely more that I can get at earliest tomorrow.

techdisk: @weimtime007 Let me rephrase: if at any one time in the whole 8 track song only 4 of those tracks are actively playing anything, I can mash it down so that one drive will play the part of two or three tracks. The catch is that if the tracks overlap as they play notes, they can't be combined.

techdisk: @weimtime007 I find 4 more floppy drives, or I do some sorcery and edit it down to 4 tracks. Maybe. If the most notes played across tracks at any time is four or less, I'm clear for usin four drives. If not, I'm not gonna touch it till I get my four drives.

techdisk: @weimtime007 well, I can actually mash some of the channels into one channel since instruments are ignored by the drives. If one channel isn't playing anything, I can copy another channel into it to cut it down. Thing is, if it's 8 channels, if I can get my hands on four more FDD drives, I'll be able to do it raw. Anything more than 8 is impossible since I would have run out of space to plug in on the microcontroller.

techdisk: @weimtime007 owhh, if it's already in four parts, that would be great! But is it four parts that each only have one note playing at a time, or is it full of chords? Floppies cant do chords whatsoever. One note at a time.

techdisk: @weimtime007 yep! Ill do that for sure! How many channels does it have not including percussion? I'm gonna have to fit it into 4 channels.

techdisk: @weimtime007 heh, the most creative physical part about it is finding a way wiring it all to a little circuitboard without having them touch or have bad connection :P the MIDIs i just get off the blathernet and edit to be within B4 and C1.

techdisk: @weimtime007 lol, When I first saw a floppy drive music vid, i immediately wanted to do it too. I love how they sound on some songs, it just works so well! It's simple how the drives can make the music, but it's not too simple to explain...

techdisk: @weimtime007 and the free version (and maybe the paid, dunno) doesn't let you change the sound of each track; it just resets to the original when you click play. It doesn't really matter since the floppies all sound the same, but when I'm editing the midi it annoys me to no end.

techdisk: @weimtime007 I'll look it up. Currently I'm working on editing a midi of forest rain's hay ms derpy for my floppy drives. It doesn't come with the lyrics, so I'm either gonna upload the instrumental and edit in the actual lyrics or transpose the lyrics into the midi. FL studio does not cooperate when I try to do so...

techdisk: @weimtime007 hmm... I should try some of those. FL is ok, though I use the trial. Some of it's antics are annoying, though... I sometimes use an extremely easy program called ORGmaker to create stuff, but it makes .org files, not midi files. It would take too long to explain the difference, but they are pretty much incompatible.

techdisk: @weimtime007 I would try to help, as I'm pretty good at hearing diffrent parts of songs and transcripting, but I would need to either learn how to properly use FL studio, or find an easier MIDI editor.

techdisk: @weimtime007 cool! I work by myself using MIDI files and editing them to work on floppy drives. I have a setup where I can literally play any midi file, as long as it is in the right range of notes, on the stepper motors of floppy drives. Look up TheCanadianGamer11 on youtube for examples!
