MMXS - A tribute to the Marble Machine X
Рет қаралды 269,013
4 жыл бұрынMMXS is a tribute to Martin Molin and a miniature homage to his ongoing music project Marble Machine X.
/ wintergatan2000
I couldn't source any blueprints and had to base the overall design on video footage. The building process took me about 8 months of trial and error, from designing the parts to final assembly. I also added some unique and personal mechanical elements due to the small form factor.
MMXS is battery powered and features 16 note switches(chromatic), 128 programming bars, an Axoloti Core with 10 different sound presets, DC motor speed control, volume and a built-in speaker.
The finish of the machine is inspired by older Meccano toy sets
For further info, please visit www.lovehulten.com/
I intended the MMXS to play the original Wintergatan song, but the mechanics just couldn't handle the pressure. In the end I had to come up with something of my own. All the sounds in the video are generated by the marble machine itself, with the exception of background layer and lead pad created by my small Bivalvia Synthesis.

It's very similar in concept to some Lego GBC ball pumps. I can't find any youtube links of the specific mechanism I'm thinking of, but in general, GBC ball pumps work in a similar, if not identical, way to the pump on this little beauty of a machine.
@Dasky14 3 жыл бұрын
I think the only problem with that design is throughput. The full size MMX has more than one instrument, so it needs far more marbles per minute. Also it might create tons of noise with larger marbles since they're constantly slightly dropping down too as the gear(?) at the bottom rotates. Also since the scale is very different, you might have trouble moving large amounts of bigger marbles along a much taller tube quickly enough.

The inspiration and joy that man has brought to so many people all while being cordial, humble, and grateful in return. He should get some kind of "global togetherness with peace" award. Seeing videos like these are quite telling on the impact he and his marbles have provided; I mean com on... this video and it's contents doesn't just get done in an hour, or day.... it's an investment of time one calculates taking, and from what I can see of all the tributes... everyone that does it is happy, it's therapeutic, and it's gratitude. Bla Bla Bla... This is awesome!
