We saw many videos online depicting this very project. We decided to take it up a notch by generalizing the software for as many Floppy Drives as wanted.
We built our program on a multi-threaded back-end to enable for live translation of instrument keys to floppy notes. We also support playback of MIDI files on the floppy drives.
After hacking all weekend, with some of the hardware done beforehand, ultimately, the hack could not come to fruition. We may explore this in the future, and possibly release the complete back-end, but the hardware to match it, currently, is not properly configured.
