Obsolete, but not gone: The people who won't give up floppy disks https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20240510-floppy-disks-why-some-people-are-still-in-love-with-this-obsolete-computer-storage-technology

The last floppy disk was made over a decade ago and doesn't even have enough capacity to store a modern smart phone picture, so why do some people still love using them?

Cool and fascinating insights!

Obsolete, but not gone: The people who won't give up floppy disks

They may have barely enough capacity to store a modern smart phone picture, but some people still love using this technology from the 1980s.

This is part 2 of my in-depth #A500 restoration project, where I explore many #modern #upgrades and #expansions of this #classic #machine, including #HDMI #conversion, #floppy #emulation/recovery, Amiga #acceleration/emulation, Sous Vide #retrobriting and even an old-school jam with my original Amiga #MIDI #setup with my #Yamaha #B200 #synth and #Alesis #HR16 #drum machine. Part One is here:  • Amiga 500 Restoration Project! (part 1)

#Yamaha #SY77 / #SY99 #Free #Download #Sounds / #Patches from #Synthoxicated #Pafreak - WORK DISK 2

Hi...another video of my #WORK #DISK with Bank C and D sounds completed.

REMARK - unfinished (base) sounds ARE in Bank A and B. These sound are ...If I do not have anything specyfic in my mind I play with OSC changing their pitch, #waveform and volume.
Then I go throungh all #algorytms and try to catch some sounds or a part of it...maybe only 2 or 3 oscylators produce great sound which is worth to spend time on.
Next time maybe all will sound great...your decision :)
Then you have so many other options like add other #OSC, #envelopes, #effects, #AWM - I have a great fun :)

REMARK - for those who asked me what was the difference between SY77 and SY99 I placed short comparison at the end of the video.
I loaded sounds from SY77 into SY99 without any modifications. You can now see that SY99 has different set up of EFFECTS and AFTERTOUCH.
Sounds on SY99 may be more expresive / rich. Especially REVERB & DELAY effect is much better if adjusted well.

Bank D - 1 brand new sound
Bank C - 11 brand new sounds
