- Freespin is a demo that runs on a Commodore 1541 floppy drive. More information at www.quiss.org/freespin/. It generates sound/music by vibrating the drive's head, and video by switching the two serial bus lines between ground and +5V. A single 100 Ω resistor is used to connect the video. A C64 is used to boot the demo, but can be disconnected once it's running.

30 years of demoscene and I never thought I'd see this. You, sir, win the 2021 demoscene.
This one is a gem^^, but you may be also interested in hearing C=64 in binaural stereo:

yes, indeed!
Yeah, running a demo on a /peripheral/ takes the cake.
@@Sempoo woah, now this is creepy to see my video linked by the man who created the mix. Hats of sir, this mix is really good by the way, I hope you don't mind I've uploaded it to CZcams.
@@commodork Especially with the the trills, it's not just an example of how it could be done it's an example of how to do it well.
Floppotron: I can play music!
1541: Hold my beer.
programs that play music on a stepper motor have been known for a long time and they destroy this motor.
@@tiges that's the point we have seen stepper motor music but never have you seen a floppy drive make music and video this is a whole new category of demo I call it FDAV or Floppy Drive Audio and Video Demo and it's. it's Amazing :)
@@tiges My 1541 is 34 years old. I play'd so much songs on my 1541 and it runs fine.
- Quiss doesn't use 1541 as the second CPU. He uses it as the only CPU!!!
Quiss is Chuck Norris of the C64 scene. :)
I'd say MacGyver is more fitting!
Chuck Norris replays "Walker Texas Ranger" from that floppy drive
In Full HD Color HDR
indeed
When Chuck Norris writes functions they never have arguments.
Chuck Norris got a computer virus and it died.
Chuck Norris' computer does not have an escape key. Nothing escapes Chuck Norris.
... CPU *and* GPU.
I've been following the demoscene for 30 years, this is the most incredible and unthinkable thing I've ever seen. You're a fucking genius!
Started watching the video and when Matthias cut the cables, I thought it was going to be some dumb April fools video.
Somehow I kept on watching and my brain froze. I had to rewatch the video twice to believe what my eyes just saw: the coolest C64 related demo ever!
I feel strong compassion for the 1541 stepper motor! 😂
Great work! 👍🏻
This floppy drive has better graphics than the RCA Studio II.
That's bad ass!
Hello there!
Agreed! Technical Wizardry and great demo.
I agree
Oh what a surprise to find u here :)
That is *exactly* what I just said to myself right before I read your comment. 🤩
One of the most impressive C64 ... oh, got confused ... 1541 demos I have ever seen! What a timing nightmare! Hats off!
Completely useless, distracted a smart man from productive work and probably burnt many hours of precious time...
This is art in its pure form ❤️
This wins all demo scene competitions - ever!
What can I say... this is a breakthrough in the demo scene. Matthias, you've gained my deep respect. Only nerds would know...
Amazing work. This is one of the coolest and most imaginative demos I have ever seen. It blows my mind how folks like Matthias are coming up with new and creative ways to use their machines in 2021. Just when you thought you have seen everything, you realize that you haven't. -- AmigaBill
This is absolutely mindfuck. Of all demos I have ever seen, and I have seen over a thousand, this one takes the cake!
Just give this dude all the awards. This is the coolest thing I've seen in 20 years.
OH GOD I CAN FEEL MY 1541s IN MY CLOSET GETTING MORE MISALIGNED AS THIS GOES ON.
This was a jawdropper.. Never seen anything like it. Blew my mind.
The weird thing: some of the FX are actually neat. I mean: not just neat by "we do this on the floppy" standards, but neat-neat.
Perfect example of out of the box thinking. We need more people like this!
the thinking was entirely inside the box. just not the one we expected
In this world, a C64 asks his 1541 for a file, elaborates it and projects it on his monitor. In another world, a 1541, after receiving the LOAD from a C64, loads a driver file from itself, processes itself and takes possession of the C64 monitor. Welcome to Odyssey 2001 where everything can became reality.
Best hack ever! That´s the pure essence of demoscene :)
Genuinely one of the most incredible things I've ever seen. I'm still trying to wrap my head around how you figured this out. I hope we can see even more like this in the future, perhaps on a 1581!
A work of genius, the effects are so clear and the music is awesome. State of the art.
This is amazing, wow!
I remember a demo back in the day that would let the 1541 play a song, with the stepper motor doing the work too.
This certainly is next level though, with both video and audio.
On the older 1541 model the sound would be softer and with bit more bass.
WOW. I was JUST talking about this with a friend as a possibility two weeks ago. You did all the hard work! GREAT JOB
I know almost nothing about the C64, but I already knew that the floppy drive is kind of like its own computer. But cutting up a serial cable to get a video signal is insane!
Das ist echt abgefahren! Kann mich selbst noch an die "Floppy" Musik auf meinem eigenen C=64 erinnern. Aber DAS ist wirklich next Level ... ca 36 Jahre später. Wow
Moonshot achieved! Mad respect.
I confess that a dormant neurological path was expecting a pixelated ,b&w, picture of Samantha Fox to appear under the parallax.
I'll be honest: for just a bit, I was trying to decide if this was real, or something faked up to look insanely cool. After reading the blog, yep, it's real. I honestly had never thought of leveraging the processor in the floppy in such an insane way. Well done!
best c64 demo without a c64.
this is amazingly good demo! Best demo on C64 I've ever seen. Cycling is huge stuff and drive music is smashing! Cheers from Poland!
Wow, this is truly impressive! You get as much sound out of that floppy drive as others are getting out of the SID chip. Incredible achievement.
Kudos Matthias - this is the most amazing wild demo I've seen, you're a real whizz.
Fantastic :-) in every way
Absolutely incredible work, easily the best wild platform demo of the last 5 years!
This might be the best demo of all time! Totally unexpected awesomeness!!! Mind blown!!!
The idea is awesome, the live presentation is great, and technique of streaming the pixels from the drive is just ace - as is are the pre-recorded screens. Hats off, and congrats for the already safe Meteoriks Award :-)
Wow! Thats amazing! I had no idea the 1541 could do any of that! Many congratulations on a great demo!
This makes me unreasonably happy. Amazing work!
"No (not many) floppy drives were harmed during the making of this prod."
I only went through three. I still maintain that they died of natural causes.
@@MatthiasKramm would be interesting to know what killed them.
@@NULUSIOS One had a dead 6522. Probably because of a bad power adapter.
But many cables were ...
Those poor cables ...
@@michiellombaers3198 they are just cables - probably user-made anyway
30 year long follower here, since we met in Munich. Acces Denied, Radio Napalm. Wow. Keep it up, you're a legend already!
My first computer was a C64 with a 1541 disk drive (though it didn't look nearly as sleek and modern as the one shown here). Lots and lots of good memories. This demo is spectacular in its own right, but for me it has the added benefit of evoking some nostalgia. Well done.
After watching this, my brain was the C64 in this setup.
Reflex is back! The legends!
The chosen platform was a bit unexpected though :D
Incredible. This is the demoscene distilled down into its pure essence.
That is one serious "Racing the beam" example. Props!
Indeed, as an aside, 48k of ram could be installed in a non stock 1541.
Crazy cool ... and what a return to the scene :) Can't wait to see more from you guys.
This is next level even for the demoscene. Here's hoping someone can come up with a device to connect the two cables non-destructively.
Oh course that’s simple. I bet he used a similar adapter to develop the demo. Cutting the wires is all theatrics
It's the most badass flex I've ever seen.
One of my viewer mentioned this video - I was comparing a C64 drive to the Apple 2 drive, to highlight how simple the Apple 2's drives were. This is just amazing!
Still can't belive i got to meet you in person. Thanks for putting up with me at X!
Nach all den Jahren schaffst du es mich nochmal komplett zu überraschen! Respekt! :D
Stunning. Just stunning. Thank you, Matthias, you supreme badass.
OMG that's amazing !! I've been waiting for this for a long time :D Hurrah !!
So good, congratulations for this masterpiece
0:37 I had a stroke when you started cutting that cable, I hope it's not an original one.
Aside from that the demo is awesome 🤯
Judging by the wires' size, looks like a modern reproduction.
Yeah, looks like a modern repro. Vintage cables would've been much thicker, and the plugs were a little different. Plus I imagine the thick-ass PVC insulation would be much harder to cut through after ~35 years.
I felt physically ill when I saw that knife going for that cable. BUILD AN ADAPTER, MY DUDE. DIN plugs aren't uncommon! Oh god, oh god why, why... :o
You sir, have genuinely amazed me.
Unfassbar. Das hat fr-08: .the .product von Platz 1 meiner persönlichen Top 10 verdrängt. Hochachtung und Glückwunsch!
Just incredible. Awesomeness is in a single/simple floppy drive device !! That rocks !
For a good two minutes I forgot the sound is coming from the drive’s stepper motor. Dang man! This was amazing!
Mind-blowing! Absolutely thrilled to see this, thanks for sharing it! Amazing, really... 👍
Just mind boggling demo! Amazing to see how creatively driving demo creations to a new level and probably a new category! Will there soon be a "Peripherals demos" in every compo?
Hat off for Refex!
Wow! Just Wow! It's running only on the 1541. Fantastic work.
Respekt! Da muss man aber viel von der Hardware verstehen. Und da bin ich schon stolz drauf, mein W&T Interface wieder zum Laufen zu bekommen ;-)
It hurt me a bit to see those cables being chopped up and spliced together, but that was amazing!
Those cables are modern. 1980s cables would have used heavier gauge wire and much thicker shielding.
Such a great C64 demo... without the C64. Haha. Brilliant!
This is a totally insane idea, I'm out of words this is incredible:D
Are you doing freaking arpeggios with the floppy drive?! HOW?!?!
Simply amazing! This reminds me of LFT's microcontroller demos.
This is some serious next level shit! 😮 Besides the fact, that this is some awesome work, I have so many questions and I think that the easiest one is about the arpeggios coming from the floppy.
Congratulations for this demo! Chapeau.
Incredible! The video definitely deserves a more descriptive title.
I love such stuff. Absolutely amazing!
Just amazing . It is the demo of 2021
thats badass and what a beautiful demo to showcase it
1541 GodMode, really nice work!
Oh my God....this makes me speechless....so creative....Großartig! ❤❤❤
Never know something like this was even possible omg that's amazing!
That is incredible! Can't help but feel for those poor devices though. A connector is needed for this :)
This is the coolest thing I've seen in a long time, amazing Job!
Awesome great job. Very suffisticated music for just a floppy motor. And very nice effects. I implemented video signal on a microcontroller so i know what it takes. Crazy you managed to do it ob a 1541 !!
I wonder how long it can be played before it kills the drive
wahnsinn! respekt! wie kommt man nur auf diese idee und kann sie auch noch umsetzen?!?.. echt krass!...alles gute und weiterso!
Most hardcore C64 demo ever.
Just wait for a double sided floppy! Excellent work!
You, sir, broke down some serious boundary!
That my friend is some serious magic .. congrats! Reflex brings back memories indeed LOL
DAMN! DAMN!
This ABSOLUTELY RULEZ!
You are using 1541 CPU and RAM (and VIA)... damn, fantastic.
Unbelievable.
Wow! First I thought "oh, that's cute". And then my jaw dropped lower and lower. Absolutely amazing sir!
Nothing else but mindblowing.... This is so amazing!
You are a master of this hardware. wow.
I believe that you are the first person to take advantage of all the hardware resources included in a Drive! Nice Demo
No, he is not.
@@toweri_li Good to Know. Do you have the demo link that uses this technique before?
@@daschefer Hehe.. Sorry, no link. There was no public Internet at that time. It is only saved on a 5 1/4" floppy disk... (Here's to hoping it is still readable!) :)
You may want to check out this video: czcams.com/video/JtCmjiAJaCQ/video.html
He / the program does not state, whether you need to have C=64 connected and running - but the program "Head Alignment" specifically does not need the computer itself. Upon running, the program is uploaded onto the 1541 disk drive RAM and then run by its CPU alone. You can switch off the computer - just like on this video.
Okay, i have 3 1541-II but i would not try this at home^^ Still need my disk drives :) On the other hand: your demo is sooooo exciting! just wow!
Most awesome demo ever!
Mind completely, utterly blown.
The most impressive thing I've seen on c64 :)
You mean on 1541 :D
Wow, that is some next-level stuff, brilliant!
Congrats on this amazing achievement!
Wow! That's amazing! I'll have to admit I tensed up a bit when you cut those cables while the stuff was still plugged in and on... ;)
I believe that this all started with a bet... 😄 Amazing work. And also greetings to Zorc. We chatted for quite some time during the late 90th.
this is possibly the most amazing thing I have ever seen!
seit 1988 die beste demo, ohne zehvieh :) ... gut gemacht, ...."ein hoch auf die wissenschaft"
Are you the creator of the universe? No one else could be able to pull of such wizardry. Absolutley mindblowingly crazy stuff
Amazing work!
Look, Mum! No Computer!
Pure loveliness. Hope it won't cause premature damage to the 1541.
Well, this pretty much shows how the 1541 *is* a full blown computer.
