“This floor is spectacularly clean”
*pans down to rats nest of cables*
They said "Clean". They said nothing about "Tidy".
@@ArterialRedGuy he*
Cameras can’t pan up or down, they tilt up or down. A pan is a specific camera move where the camera rotates horizontally on a fixed point like a tripod head
@@katjoe1974 you know what I meant
Even my my levels that isn't an untidy floor... So by Martin's levels, that cable might as well have been perfectly sunk and level with the floor!
The heart attack you would have if you saw some other places...
Are we seeing the light in the tunnel? Or is it the train coming?
All I know is FIRST
YES
"He'd been wrong, there was a light at the end of the tunnel, and it was a flamethrower" - Terry Pratchett (GNU)
The light for sure
This is awesome! Looking forward to the world tour! :D
Swapping the color of “0 FAILS” from green to red faked me out good
Yeah ! Me too 👍.
(Ps: hi doodle :). thanks you for your channel ;) beatcraft is amazing )
not surprised to see you here doodle!
The virtual version of Wintergatan!
**Laughs in red-green colourblindness**
Great video again.
"This is slowly start to feel like music instrument"
Mate, this is Da Vinci levels of invention already as is.
It's remarkable the amount of mathematics, engineering, art and craft that Martin has demonstrated in this project. I imagine he had had help here and there, but this is extraordinary.
Going into the last video I'd almost forgotten about the musical instrument part because I'd been so engrossed in the engineering and the kinetic sculpture aspect. It's a work of art all around.
the stuff whites can do
"What instrument do you play?" "Engineering degree."
FR
He plays The Blues, he plays Pop, he plays Rock, he plays Metal. And at the same time, builds the most amazing music machine mankind will ever see. An amazing blend of engineering and art. And to top it off, entertaining videos too boot. Well done Martin, you should be proud of yourself and your achievements. You are an inspiration to us all.
And the videos are not in his primary language
@@TerofiedBeats And aren't made in the primary language of the country he lives in, nor his country of birth.
I sometimes forget that Martin is a musician, not an engineer...
@@TerofiedBeats I don't think the language is so impressive compared to the effort that he puts into the gathering 'footage' and editing of these videos. Each one must take several hours setting up lights and cameras, editing together clips and overlays and all the little things he does, mixing the audio from multiple mics and pickups (like the lady with the classic English accent for example), the way he does all this is very impressive to me.
And also, he goes to space!
"I kinda wanna make a new programming wheel..."
Me: "Oh God, here we go..."
Here we go another 1 thousand episodes but this time remaking the programming wheel
There is probably a way to turn the base of the original wheel into a large platen for a very large paper roll with holes or some alternative method of actuating the gates. Otherwise, outfitting the machine with solenoids or similar like suggested in the past might be more practical.
@Raicent Dela Cruz We already invented a method: punched cards. The idea came from controlling looms in the 1700s. With a feed such as this, one could 'program' more complex and extended 'programs' (musical sessions).
It was only a matter of time.
Sounds like the developers in my team... weeks behind deadline 'yes but if we changed only this and that it would be better in the long run'
Seeing the fail, stupid me: _Oh, looks like he needs to move the marble collector a little bit._
Smart Martin: _Let me show you the root of the problem, and that's what I'm going to fix._
I'm impressed.
I thought the same thing! But of course, I didn't have the ability to "enhance"
I do not say this to invite this hell upon you, nor am I jinxing you: I don't care if the machine takes another 5 years to build, I'm going to sit here, watching every single update, and I will be dropping everything to see this thing play on stage, even if I have to fly to another continent! I know you and the community will achieve this dream because too many people believe in it, and so just proceed knowing how beloved this journey has become to us viewers. Rock on, Martin!!
I would prefer for this machine to be completed before the Great Reset is over.
So true!
SAME
@@Veritas-invenitur great reset? What do you mean?
@@neonsilver1936 Look up the great reset if you want to know more and how it will effect you personally.
This is showing a lot of progress! The issue was well understood and fixed cleanly, instead of with arbitrary tweaks. I can't wait to see the MMX come to Amsterdam!
Fancy seeing you here!
Wasn't expecting to see you! Glad your engineering interests extend beyond bikes. ;P
I'd like Utrecht better, more central and easier for me to reach
@@liampouncy7808 it's in the name isn't it? not just bikes
I will fly to Amsterdam from Midwest USA to see this man.
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.
4:43 Long before SpaceX, there was Buckminster Fuller: "There is no such thing as a failed experiment, only experiments with unexpected outcomes."
and now I'm imagining an impossibly miniaturized version of this piece of mechanical mastery using carbon buckyballs instead of marbles.
Finally updated washer stacks to spacers. Impressed.
I only hope theres a washer between the rubber and the metal, because otherwise it would still cause friction. There's a reason trains don't use rubber wheels after all
He skipped over it as if he's trying to hide something from his grandma hahahahah....
It did not look like rubber but a plastic cylinder
SPAAAAACERS!
Ivan's follower checking out.
@@mickys8065 In Paris they do...
Martin: "I know exactly how to fix it."
Me: "Does it involve an angle grinder?"
🤣😂🤣 👍🇬🇧
I honestly was expecting him to go that route once he said it. You know, him being Martin and all xD
Jeremy Clarkson enters the building...
*_Hammertime!_*
sacrificial angle grinder**
i remember my mom showing me the orignal marble machine video not even a few days after it came out
thought it was the most mindblowing thing in the world
i just rediscovered your channel, and im astounded at how far you've come, and how long it's been
i look forward to seeing the new marble machine in full action, and i wish you the best luck
6 great years, many more to come :)
I’m just gonna say the mini song that he made is amazing... it’s breathtaking even though it was a small song... I really want to hear that song by itself
And this is why it's okay to lose your marbles. Because that could lead to a marvelous creation
When someone loses their marbles this is where they end up! 🤯
You missed the perfect opportunity to say, "Because that could lead to a marbleous creation!"
*marbleous creation, you mean.
@@derektedrick9042 dang it, got there first
I think you mean a "marble-ous creation"
I know I’m just a random guy on the Internet, but I have been following this project for several years. I just want to say that I am proud of how far you have come. Keep up the great work!
Wow. Cool. Neat.
Haha, just kidding. Your words are my words. The only thing I do is pay a small amount of money per month through the youtube subscription, but it's a very small amount. I have no knowledge to help with the designs, to help making the parts, anything. But I follow this project since the first machine went viral and I'm so happy to see what it's becoming.
It's awesome.
Hello fellow random person on the internet who's been following this for a few years
Same here
I had 2 weeks of no internet and I come back to TWO successful Marble Machine X tests with ZERO fails! I am so proud of Martin. It is super inspirational and motivates me for all the daunting tasks I have before me. keep up with the amazing work, Martin!
For the first time in a long time, Martins looks absolutely happy jammin in harmony.
This is a milestone.
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.
O yea it really does 🤔🤔🤔
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.
@@89lutzy cool!
Marble Machine X: Look daddy, I can handle 30K marbles!
Martin: That's my boy
*(sheds tear) they grow up so fast...*
You can also say 30k beads
If you ask Martin, i'm 99% sure "so fast" is a he wouldn't use at all 😂
yeeeeeeeeee
I think this guy is one of the most talented people I've ever seen
Dear Martin, I never ever in my life got such a big smile on my face every time you discover something new about your own creation. Your a wizard Martin
The year is 2100, we are now playing 2 billion marbles in an Marble MAchine X accuracy test!
Cyber Martin presents Marble Machine X X
Marble machine orchestra not MMX
@@SoggiestBread Marble Machine Excess?
Have you ever seen a floor clean like this?
“I have finally resolved all rogue marble issues with this marble collecting robot!”
10:15 The one funnel just jamming along with the music :)
I love how the "failed marbles" counter has 5 digits
Just knowing that people like you still exist in this world makes me happy.
At this rate we're gonna need some "clean floor" merch.
Or some marble bouncing out of the machine saying *"yippee!"*
I struggle with keeping my floors clean without having spent 3 years of engineering, building, programming and playing a genius musical machine.. now Martin did it, but I still have messy floors
@@handlemonium "Or some marble bouncing out of the machine..." shouting "Freedom!" 😊
LOL - a t-shirt with nothing on it! Should be easy to make 😊
I got 99 problems and a marble ain’t one ⬜️
Martin, this whole project is just so amazing. I love everything about it. There's problem solving, designing, manufacturing and installing it on the machine. I love that you document everything you do, that makes this probably the best and biggest independent documented machine made on youtube and that's just awesome! I believe this machine has a real future and I can't wait to see it play live :)
He has. The good, the bad, and the ugly of it.
Great design starts with a real painful problem. Martin was tortured by human band members who made mistakes and didn't keep time. So relatable!
You should check out the Giant Robot Project series. It's such a different style of build but I loved it. It's what got me hooked on UA-cam build videos years ago.
Listening to the rattling of the marbles ratcheting up the elevator(?) at the start was so soothing I realized how amazing it would be to have like, an ASMR track or two of just the mechanical noises of the marbles rolling around the machine, similar to what Lego recently did, a whole ASMR album of just the noises of scraping/scooping/digging through bins of Lego. Amazing work as always, you're an inspiration!
I must just say, there are few things that put a smile on my face such as a new video from Martin!
Been here from the start, and this process is nothing short of amazing.
And every time he starts playing music, I'm blown away.
There is no concert that I have been looking forward to so much as the coming world tour!
An awesome day to you all 😁
I was literally watching this right now and my brother goes "Is that real?". Goes to show what an amazing piece of engineering this is.
You were literally watching it right now?!?! OMG
Can't wait for that 1 million marble test with the entire machine going full throttle.
Gonna be a sight to behold!
I bet he'll make the machine play Sommarfagel for the 1-2 million marble test.
@@clockworkrocker4847 i hope so!!
but sommerfagel is not a loop song and has quite many prelude parts.
edit (this is kinda long): but i have a comment back then (if you know the silver programming sheets thingy for the mmx)
if is it possible for the MMX to have the same programming system as the actual music box; so the MMX can actually play a song and not just a loop.
so the mmx can possibly play sommerfagel and other songs, who knows!
1:33 I love this "gear up" moment of the marble machine
This is by far the biggest one-manned project in UA-cam, and also the most amazing. My favorite part was when he finally assembled the first clock escapement gate and it worked first try. He couldn't even say anything and I think everyone felt his joy.
I wouldn't call it a one-man project, but viewing it as a community effort is beautiful in its own way
@@ZweiSpeedruns Yes, if one considers all the patrons and members it kind of becomes a community effort. It's still incredible.
The Marble Machine X: where Rube Goldberg's finally transcend the lines between art, utility, and absurdity, to ultimately culminate in unique creative masterpiece.
original marble machine already did this, this will be even better
Animusic fully realized
There will be a movie about Martin one day about his long journey to how he made an iconic machine,
I hope so
There will be intense chess games, engineering montages, intrigue, betrayal, high speed bike chases along the coast, and don't forget the EXPLOSIONS!!!
This is the movie. There will be a cut down version, maybe
There better be! This is documentary material!
@@etceteraleatherworks1103 Don't forget the dragons. And the angle grinder.
Martin, I'm so glad you never gave up! I committed to watching all your building videos and I've officially done it! Only took about a month haha. This is an INCREDIBLE engineering feat! Keep going and never give up! I for one 100% support any and all changes you make to make the mmx even better.
This brought tears to my eyes, I was a little worried when the 2 marbles escaped but Martin you had it all under control, I am so happy this worked out well. Lots of love and energy to you martin
Martin: "I kinda want to make another programming wheel"
Me: Dammit Wilson!!!
He needs to save some ideas for MMY and MMZ.
Martin should be able to go forward and backwards on tempo. Groove is built on millisecond displacements of the beat. I'm with him. Let's think how.
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.
Yes, that is *redundancy.*
Martin does have training in Music Box design ... so this may not entirely be out of the question.
Not gonna lie I love having been apart of this. Watching this project start and seeing how far it has come is insertional. This is one of the few channel I have the bell on and I am always so excited to watch how far it has come from the original marble machine.
I love how you always find small details to improve that in the end have a huge impact on the performance. It is always fun to watch you tinker on the MMX and seeing it get closer and closer to being finished.
Make sure not to overwork yourself though
Not a "stupid idea". You have literally the whole world invested in its planning, design and financing. That amount of talent investment means it will succeed. Eventually.
Can’t wait for mass production ✌️-wo
The real achievement is You going: Yess instead of OH NOOO when the marbles reach the floor.
Happy little failures
Applause and major props for this magnificent milestone!
This journey has been monumentally majestic.
Thank you, Martin!
You are just amazing 👏 beautiful video again ❤
This guy is the perfect example of 'Audio Engineer'.
That's exactly what I'm trying to be!!! It's great to have examples of this sort of thing 😍
I keep picturing where you are on the Sisyphus graph. It feels like you're over the hump, the slope isn't so challenging anymore, and there's very little between you and the moon besides the completion of a known set of work. Listening forward to the cyber-bass, and wondering when the rock-star concert tour of North America starts.
And that is when Martin starts talking about the programming wheel
In my opinion the best part of the machine is how the sounds of the machine running, flywheel, cranks etc., become part of the music.
Martin, it has been a great experience watching you build this machine, cannot thank you enough for this wonderful experience, have been watching faithfully since your first marble machine video, and will continue to do so. Great work man.
"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.
Often, Better is the enemy of Good
You cant be sure that a wild jumping marble who dont follow here path going to land only straight on the floor.
This innocent event could lead to a catastrophic failure.
@@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. This isn't about the next marble machine UA-cam viral video, it's about making a machine capable of playing music on stage. It needs everything he's dumping into this, including making programming wheel version 2.
Next project: Marble-powered mech suit.
I want it and i want it now!
Martin's Marble Suit X
Martin: "I know exactly how to fix the problem"
Me: "Oh no, not the angle grinder!"
I love watching this evolve! So happy to be a part of this journey.
When I went to school for animation I remember watching the CG animated Marble Machines and everyone thought they were amazing. Everyone wondered if you could do it in real life. Well we are here. Congratulations amazing project
-So. why did you build this strange machine?
-To have a jamming partner during the pandemic.
But he started before the pandemic? Like he was planning ahead?
@@gorillaau
It's a joke...
@@Liqtor I was going for another one. Planning ahead for future pandemic, aka plandemic, which a conspiracy where the governments and the uber rich wanted to see this happen and potentially crash the world economy.
@@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.
Here again after UA-cam told me to watch the 5y old video with the old machine. The difference and the journey leading you to this point Martin is just amazing!
Martin you have already completed a heroic amount of work progressing the MMX. Thank you for taking us along with you on this journey.
Hearing the mechanical sounds of the machine slowly come together has got to be one of the coolest things
8:05 gotem B)
dude this just made my day
I get excited when you upload. This is awesome stuff! I remember coming across one of your original marble machine videos and just being blown away. My dad and I adored Rube Goldberg growing up and this is pretty much the culmination of that concept. Mechanical genius.
I absolutely love seeing the mind of a brilliant musician and engineer at work! I get the feeling he's embracing the heart of what it means to be a craftsman. 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!
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!
10:00 I love the double tempo groove. Sounds almost like an amen break :D
Yep. Some jungle beats coming up 😄
It's definitely very fun to bop along to!
A year ago or so I stopped watching because I didn't think you were getting anywhere. It's fun to see a video again!
this has been SUCH A JOURNEY! absolutely amazing. SO EXCITING.
Gotta get that cyberbass up and running, then we can see a true glimpse of the musical range this artistic creation holds!! Look forward to it!
Gotta get some if this in upcoming test runs:
*Doo Doo Ba Doo Doo Baa......Doo Doo Ba Doo Doo Ba-Ba.....Do-Do Ba Do-Do Ba Ba......Doo Ba-Ba Do-Do Ba Doo.....Do-Do-Do Baa Baa Doo Ba......Doo Doo Ba Doo Doo Baa.......*
Amazing how you're dedicating years of your life to this machine, just to make music...
So much engineering and thought was put into this. I really respect that.
Wow. Thank you for going through all of the effort to make these videos! I know it'd be faster to just work on the machine with no interruptions, but taking the time out of your schedule to make these videos means a lot.
I have highly enjoyed watching your creation over the years. I will admit that when you started the second channel and was putting over videos more often, I was unable to follow your work for life reasons. This is my first video of mmx I've watched in months. Glad to see the progress is still happening.
Amazing, those clock gates are so nice. I'm really digging the steampunk accent they bring.
I've been following your progress since the original marble machine video came out. I still go back and watch it from time to time and the progress from then to now is insane. 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.
all these years the progress has been so cool!
This is an amazing project you are busy with. Love the explanation you give on what your process and solutions to problems are with the marble machine X. I'm now watching all your previous videos. Keep up your wonderful work.
I'm so happy to see this newest design performing to spec. (No angle grinder based demo).
I wanted to be the ten thousandth patreon member but I'm joining anyway.
Thank you, Martin & Crew, for all the extra time you put in to make the MMX not suck. :-) Cheers!
it's really coming together! I know I thought that a year ago, but really all the new designs are turning out so great.
The machine is gorgeous, specially when you film it from the top. And that music at the beginning is beautiful. Thanks for letting us enjoy such amazing work.
save this man and keep his brain in the museum
I had the hugest smile on my face when you hit the button at the end of the 2nd run. I legitimately started to tear up.
Congrats, Martin!
9:09 lol that funnel is straight up vibing
I loved the music when i first heard this on a random video I clicked on... and the calm relaxing sound it makes could probably put me to sleep.. and I have insomnia and trouble sleeping in general. Wonderful job!
PLEASE CONTINUE THIS PROJECT! Everything I have seen in this test has me eager to see more. I can't say I know what worries you have. YOU GOT THIS!
Alright welcome back to the only channel that makes you lose or not lose All the Marbles
it's wintergatan 😁😅
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 ✌🏻😉
Dunno if he knows what he's talking about or not, as I'm not a drummer, but upvoting so Martin will notice and double check just in case.
Edit: spelling
Perhaps that was a plan to sniff out some drummers. Not sure to what end but could be worth watching.
+
@@joelashton6328 It's not an issue. It's more of a personal preference. Some drummers prefer the short tight sound, others like the more loose, buzzy sound.
But I agree that for Martin's music the tighter snare might be more suitable.
... i like the buzz...
Watching how positive you are makes me want to push forward. I love your work and I know that you have what it takes to achieve your dreams. My life has been challenging for the past few weeks and your positive attitude gave me some hope and energy. God bless you. Keep on doing what you do best.
Thank you so much for sharing this engineering feat with us all. It’s absolutely brilliant, insane, otherworldly, and a masterpiece. Bravo Martin 🥳🥳
Next week: "Well I tried test the marble machine by letting it play one Googolplex of marbles. Sadly it failed because the steel marbles were worn down to dust halfway through the test"
"Also Martin passed away due to old age and civilization ended"
That will absolutely succeed in making no marbles on the floor, although it may be covered by marble dust :)
@@VWrijder77 Swap these events places, and you'll be right
The hell this is going so dark, come on!
In a couple hundred years, people will look back at Martin like they do Leonardo Da Vinci today
Just went back and watched the OG Marble Machine from 2016 I really hope he does the same occasionally. The magic of that original design was already present, but now this and this level of precision and amazing inginuity...unbelievable. The progress is measurable and huge.
Congratulations on the successful test! I have loved watching the progress and can't wait for the next update. Keep up the awesome work!
"I kinda want to make another programming wheel..."
Martin, you okay? Was the first dragon not enough?
