Can we get a perfect score?
Can we keep the floor clean?
Are we seeing the light in the tunnel? (or is it the train coming)

I often still wonder why after being so close to having an amazing instrument, so beautifully crafted and so poetic, he still decided to drop the ball (not a pun) and stopped everything... This was so incredible, years in the making, and it was so close to being done. I'm really mad, like really mad, that it never got finished, I was so invested in this whole project and it really felt like a betrayal. To this day I still stumble across someone with a Marble Machine X "I believe" Tee like once a year, and we always have that same conversation. It's harsh.

8:41 just a little heads-up. I noticed one of your catchers was rocking because of vibration. That was in an unused channel, so no issue there. But as you start adding more channels, there is a possibility of them rocking because of resonant frequencies, which may cause the marbles to miss.

@89lutzy 3 жыл бұрын
The current catcher is still a leftover from when the artist was building the machine, not the engineer. So the flair movement was stopped by the engineer to prevent fails during tests, and will revisit them when the rest of the machine works. One way to prevent the issue as you describe is to support or replace the PMMA tube that is holding them, they are too long and wobbling. The basket design itself is not best solution for the enginer either as the marbles bounce randomly inside them because of hitting the steel rods , thus the curtain extensions you see on them for now. They work for now, but they are definately not in their final form.

This comment will most likely get drowned in a sea of others, but I wanted to suggest: In the unlikely event the machine actually would catastrophically fail during a live performance, I think you should prepare a miniature, music-box-like, MMX model (MMX Jr?) you can bring out, plug in, and have it "play" as a backup. Obviously the miniature MMX is not mechanic but just a fancy shell for a playback device, but it'll allow the concert to continue, and the miniature being brought out can be made into a show in it of itself.

"I'd like to change the programming wheel." In the pursuit of perfection, you risk never finishing. Same thing with the focus on getting 10m marbles with zero landing off beat or outside the funnels...seems to me that you need to focus on failure modes. If a marble drops on the floor every 3-10 songs, that's not a failure, the machine still works. Making sure that machine breaking failures never happen is far more important.

@@fafane65 Yeah, I totally agree. Martin has said multiple times that his nightmare failure is a marble falling off somewhere in the machine instead of the floor and jamming and breaking a gear - destroying the machine. I totally get the people saying "better is the enemy of good", and I do think that Martin often falls into that trap, but as someone who has worked in the field of reliability engineering, in an interconnected system you are only as strong as your weakest link. I do think Martin is focusing on the right things nowadays though, whereas before he would often hyperfocus on redundant or superfluous features, now he is much more focused on the actual points of failure and the critical points of the machine.

This comment is not helpful. He is a musician first and an engineer second. If the song misses a beat or a note due to a timing issue or a programming wheel issue then he can't do what he wants to do - world tour.

It needs everything he's dumping into this, including making programming wheel version 2.

I came across the original marble machine years ago. I have been showing it to everyone I know and we all have loved it. I'm so excited to start actually following the project of MMX. It's amazing, and looks so beautiful!

@@gorillaau Because that makes sense. Governments can't even agree on reducing carbon emissions, but they can somehow agree on releasing a deadly virus. And then only release the virus in one city, rather than distributing it across the world to ensure complete coverage. It's way too complicated, you will never get all governments of the world to agree on anything.

@@DaedalusYoung Also an artificial virus looks very odd when examined. Usually parts of two different viruses will be spliced together, imagine a great dane/pug, as a rough analogy . The conspiracy nuts expect us to believe that historical adversaries of a given country wouldn't make the accusation that they released it. Russia would love to give the USA a kick, or even France to point a finger.

They might appear at least moderately similar but by this point their practically two entirely separate machines. Every video I have to sit down because I constantly look forward to what you're going to do next with it.

Take your idea, develop it to the utmost, then stress test and fine-tune with an obsession that would leave car manufacturers impressed! I know that if Martin ever designed a car, it would be a true masterwork of engineering!

Hey Martin, you really need to fine tune your snare drum (PLEASE) , the snare wires are just too loose! It gives the drum a buzzing sound on every marble drop... Being a 🥁 drummer myself , it just drives me crazy🤪. A few turns clockwise on the throw off snare strainer suould resolve that buzzing sound ✌🏻😉
