More weird stuff from me. If you ever wanted to make music with a floppy disk drive, like all the countless YouTube videos doing, but don't feel yourself ready to mess up with the real hardware, Arduinos and stuff, here is your opportunity.

Don't forget to check the readme.txt, it explains how to control different features. Or just use the samples, they're all in /samples/ directory.

Better later than never, a demo song and a video demonstrating the plugin in action:

Curious, but the "ambience" sound is a bit much. i've seen YouTube videos of the real thing with better sound, so i'm not sure why you're trying to emulate so much ambient noise.

That is cool. Not sure that i need those sounds but maybe fun to have for sound effects. Nice work.
Jace-BeOS is right though, there's lotta noise that isn't the software.

Ambient sound in the demo song is not related to the plugin capabilities at all, it is just my artistic choice for the song, so I'm not sure why are you question it. Plugin outputs clean dry sounds of floppy drive only, no ambience.

I just downloaded and had a try, and it's a lovely, fun plug-in. The video does make it seem that the ambient noise is part of the samples, but I didn't find that.

Oh, cool. Maybe also a demo track without the noise. I wasn't sure either way, but i figured it wasn't the sound of your plugin. It still detracts from the demo IMO.)
Still, it's a great and original vsti.

What parameters are on the GUI?

Post

They're all just volume levels of different components of the sound.

Thanks for clearing this up. I hadn’t seen your reply to my critique. Sorry for the delay in my response.

The plugin just got an update. Now it features a GUI, better synth engine, and two sample packs (you can use them without plugin, too). x64 support is there as well.
