32 floppy drives problem (and help with some program improvements)

Open ghost opened this issue 1 year ago • 21 comments

Hello, I have a problem with setting the program for this specific floppy drive configuration and some additional improvements.

  • sorry for my bad English, but it was translated by Google Translate.

I have 4 pcs Arduino UNO:

  • 8 floppy drives are connected to each of them, but I want to set the moppy 2 program (or in the microcontroller software) to divide these stations so that I end up with 8 separate voices (MIDI channels) with 4 floppy drives in each of them, is it possible, and if so, how?
  1. For additional improvements, I would like someone to help me with:
  • The velocity parameter in MIDI decided how many stations (of the 4 in each midi channel) were to be turned on.

  • Make ADSR-like shape and simulate a musical instrument, like a piano (exponential decay) or string instrument (sine, "vibrato"). Floppotron 2.0 had this option.

And most importantly:

  • So how can I also control flatbed scanners (for high notes) and hard drives (for drums, midi channel 10) using moppy 2? I am interested in purely software things, I know how to implement such a function at the hardware level.

I would like to thank everyone in advance for their help and interest. If I succeed, I promise that I will expand the project to insane proportions (it's my passion) and the videos will be available on YouTube and anyone who helps me in this post will definitely be tagged.
