I'm not sure if you meant to convey a judgement relative quality. I think that the this video is more impressive than 8 floppy drives. I never thought a single printer would be capable of that tonal quality and that range of polyphonics. I don't mean to hate on MrSolidSnake745 though, his videos are dope.

A loudspeaker is nothing but a coil, a magnet and a piece of cardboard and it too is capable of incredible tonal quality and a huge range of polyphonics. This one really got me: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=muCPjK4nGY4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=muCPjK4nGY4

  Apparently he somewhat cheated in that video by mixing in a bit of the original audio. Here's what it sounds like on its own: https://vimeo.com/1483630 https://vimeo.com/1483630

    Thanks for that. I am literally more disappointed than when I found out there was no Santa Claus. Now I'm too sad to work, instead of just being too lazy.

It looks like a 9-pin dot matrix, so essentially 9 channels of variable frequency. Here is Eye of the Tiger on 8 floppies, for comparison: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iMcRd_4RwRQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iMcRd_4RwRQ

  You can see the printer model in another video, it's a Olympia NP 80-24. A whopping 24-voice polyphony! https://books.google.ca/books?id=hjAEAAAAMBAJ&pg=PA26&dq=Olympia+Np80-24 https://books.google.ca/books?id=hjAEAAAAMBAJ&pg=PA26&dq=Oly...
