Makes you think, that it is basically no different from a human body (other than thinking) each object has a role in a machine, same as a body and you could often hear machines live, this is why I love engineering!
Wow amazing! finaly after following this journey and your journey for manymany years from detektivbyran to this. This build has so many tiny details and clever solution a true collabrational effort of the entire internet.
The Marble Conveyer Belt is Completed and it delivers. - lifts 8 marbles per crank turn. - thanks to it being driven by ratchets and pistons, it makes a short halt to load and unload the marbles, on exactly the same spot every time. - The pistons are connected to the crank shaft with a 2:1 gear reduction which means that the conveyer belt go in time with the music, and in half time. I can even use the mechanical sounds from the ratchets and the marbles climbing the fish stair to create parts of the beats. - I only had one kick drum channel up and running so the kick drum plays on 2-4 like a snare normally would. Sounds a little strange but I just made this piece of music to demonstrate the concepts are working. (no music you hear in the videos are going to be used for the album, its quick and dirty functional pieces for the videos only) - Its been a journey but we are now on our way. Again. - the throw of the pistons s 40mm, the pitch of the chain is 15,875x2 mm, an imperial value, and it happens to be exactly twice the marble diameter. All this makes it possible to lift exactly one row of marbles per crank turn. The ratchets move 40 mm but only grabs onto the chain to move it exactly 31,75mm per crank turn. The carriers are flame polished cnc:ed acrylic - The chain was custom made in Japan and I waited 5 months for it to be delivered. haha. Of all the time consuming darlings on the MMX I love the conveyer belt /fish stair combo the most. - the marbles looks like they are stuck over the demagnetiser wheel, this is by design, as soon new marbles come into the pipes from below, the marbles are slowly pushed over the demag wheel which ensures perfect demagnetisation. - thanks for watching and believing in the project, good luck with everything that you are doing! Martin
Wintergatan I would be pleased if you could make those marbles exiting demagnetizer to go more freely. What I've seen it isn't enough slope for them and they are stopping a while after leaving demagnetizer. Please repair this. :-)
I can't help but notice that one spot on the drum that keeps getting blacker with grease each time a marble bounces. Do you have a plan to keep the acrylics and instruments clean?
This is the first time we are seeing marbles make a complete circulation in the machine. Its not complete but now there is blood flowing, and its heart has begun to beat... I love following this project so much :D
I think it's fake. Pay attention to the echoes he is making with his instrument. It doesnt mach with the surrounding. I guess he modifies it in his place . You can look at different people playing the same flute as his, and it is really different.
@@gs.558You’re spot on with your observations. It’s obvious that the music is nowhere near in sync with the movements of the machine. How unfortunate that so many people are so easily fooled and manipulated by this illusion.
@@トーキ-g8v you're wrong, like this he showed us that's more intelligent than you think, he kept noises because he knew how to use them properly (and those noises can't be removed because they're part of the machine), the only way could be with editing but he didn't do that (imo better like so :D)
@@emix_2387 lol I think you both said the same thing, so I agree with you both. Using them instead of letting them cause dissonance is an amazing and intuitive thing to do.
It's great at keeping a beat, but you can't make a full song from rhythm alone. Still, it's _great_ at keeping a beat; I can't wait to see what comes out of this machine once Wintergatan adds the rest of the instruments on.
Rewatching the series over the last few days, I can TOTALLY understand now why Martin has redesigned and rebuilt so many parts of the machine over and over again. It's because this man is dedicated to give us, the viewers and by extension the audience, the absolute best machine he can possibly make. You can see now rewatching these videos where all those small failures have been adding up- machine wobble, marble clogs, marble divider problems, release gates, all those things combine to make a subpar machine. Not a subpar machine if the goal was to play it a bunch of times on film and hope one take is flawless, like the last machine. But a subpar machine if the goal is to have a >99.9999% reliable touring instrument that will give us the best damn show that Martin feels compelled to deliver. I believed then, and I still believe now. We're rooting for you Martin, you are a god damn inspiration!
I was brought to tears when I heard him say this in his most recent video, and I finally understood what I had previously thought was borderline madness: ua-cam.com/video/UKvqC3t-M1g/v-deo.htmlm38s *_"It's perfect. ... Perfection exists."_* It is like God hired the Devil to stir things up. And then once in a while we are given someone like Martin to show us what is possible. Egypt had the Pyramids. Today we get to watch the Architect of MMX in action.
As someone who’s been watching Martin since the beginning, it’s breathtaking to see all his efforts come to fruition. I can’t imagine the emotions he feels right now.
Oh, these stupid chopped onions... Martin, after 77 videos, after watching you moving to France, carrying stuff through Countries, after your timelapses of the french sky, and the arrangement of the new workshop, after your discouragement in some moments, all the hours passed in Fusion360, the effort to create a project working method... So... after I saw all this, I can drop a tear. "It's only one guy on a youtube channel..." No, he is Martin from Wintergatan. And his effort and his passion, are giving to him (and to his followers) the strength to carry on.
This dude is legitimately revolutionary when it comes to music. Hes brilliant. Making excellent music, in an absolutely unthinkable way for the present day. Absolutely awesome.
I was worried when I watched the first episodes about him making the gears cnc’d and therefore quieter because I thought it might get rid of that mechanical character and charm of the first marble machine. I am now extremely satisfied at the sound of the fish stair and the conveyor belt; my worries have been expelled
I think he has miked up the mechanical parts of the machine so they can be heard, at a live performance he would need to do this to have any hope of people hearing the mechanical aspects of the machine. Glad he has considered this, having the mechanical sounds as part of the music is what makes this so unique
Question: the actual melody (sounds like a music box) was added into the video later, yes? I did not see where on the machine those actual notes were being produced.
Well, if you mean it's the first song made entirely by the MMX then yes that is correct, however it's not the first time the MMX had been used to make a song.
@@thames21 yeah but I was referring to main instruments of the machine. They're all still in production. But the whole of the machine is used to make the rhythm here and this is fucking awesome
k0r0z1f I agree with you. Man I can’t wait till he’s gonna tour but on the same time I love this journey we get to go along with him. He’s so creative it’s scary. It even comes throug his videos. How he decided to make this video like this. Or when he found out his drill spun on a certain bpm and got sidetracked, made a whole song around it.
Whenever UA-cam suggests a Marble Machine X video with "Part X Completed!" in the title, I check the year and enjoy a sad chuckle for Martin's learning process. What a journey!
Wow, seeing this working made me a little emotional. Bet you are chuffed to bits. I must say thanks to This Old Tony for helping you as I might of missed this whole project if he was not involved.
I thought about it, too. I think he will make an improved marble machine song, if you know darks souls, the endboss in the first game had a very unique fightmusic. They used that music and improved it in the third game and it was unbelievable good. If you want to listen to them, first song is Lord of Cinder, second soul of cinder. @@NEShiraini
@@felixonken9334 yep but have you see the funnel he's using ? the definitive version will be better. if you look well you can see one marble going out of the funnel due to a too short trajectory.
this is tickling all my OCD nodes, positively! It is so rhythmic, so good time wise, the flow of the marbles is just beautiful. A true masterpiece. I am grateful to be able to witness this becoming a thing. Thank you so much for taking us on this journey :) Best wishes from Germany!
@@JBergmansson I agree with the description here. The longer the marbles stay over the demagnetizer the less magnetic they remain, this is most certainly by design. Why else split the marble stream from 1 to 4? :)
Oh this is SO DAMNED SATISFYING, and definitely on the final stretch now, can see the light at the end of the tunnel etc. WOW Martin, crying tears of joy for you man, this is gonna be EPIC! WE LOVE YOU!
I have no idea what the heck it has to do with communism 🤣 ... but love that it's working, and catching the drum marbles in a bit of drainpipe hastily held on with tape, that's just showing off! 🤣 At least ONE fell on the floor at 5:58 though, don't get too cocky! :-p "It's been a journey but we're now on our way"
Nosey Nick compared to the old machine is a lot of progress, the old one had marbles eeeeverywhere on the ground. I just love how it all goes with the beat to the music, and it looks so clean and organized.
@@kellyvalentin8797 oh ABSOLUTELY, and it's super-cool that is can MOSTLY drop so damned accurately into a bit of drain-pipe that's literally taped in place, don't get me wrong. Can't be long now!
Nosey Nick he’ll probably have some episode where he will fix that problem, like i am watching these as faithfully as i watch law and order svu every week. I even bought a teeshirt, this dude is amazing 🔥
You should get a diamond drag engraver for the CNC and engrave all the collaborators permanently on the machine. It could be a subtle but an awesome way to show how many people have helped this project. Looking Great
Damn. I saw the original, but hadn’t payed attention to it since. This one is so much more visual, with all the different conveyors and the clear tubes, and the mechanical rhythm of its movements. It’s very pleasing to watch
Packaging and recalibration fixtures. So, that when stuff wiggles, stage isn't flat, altitude, baro, even subway trains don't make it behave different in different places and the adjustments to compensate can be quick @@Hirosjimma
He will also need to do several tests to dismantle, and reassembly of the MMX. He may also need to do a condensation test and maybe a discharge system as well.
Absolutely stunning. The amount of complex tolerances between each notes rhythm from the machine itself, the amount of time it must take to work the equations out for the notes to ay at the right sequence, and all the trial and error to produce this magnificent natural sound from such a Victorian Era meets Steam punk build is just amazing. Keep building good sir.
Because the first one was incredible and this one is basically just an auto-piano with a one marble drum beet, so seems like he really phoned it in this time. Its just because a lot of us were expecting more, much more. Look -> ua-cam.com/video/IvUU8joBb1Q/v-deo.html
@@jerk1921 I 100% agree. He's good at building and has a marvelous talent, its just that he has done way better and cooler projects that this one is kinda dialed down abit
This is clearly an unusual way to create great music, not in tradition but sounds much cooler than the music being created nowadays. This is a completely different approach of creating good music using an uncommon instrument. Hats off to Martin 👍👍👍
If you showed the MMX to an outsider and told them that this thing you have constructed is the lifting system for the MMX, the outsider would think it was a hodge podge of pistons and gears and whatnot, and they are somewhat correct. But if you start up the machine and let them have a closer look, it strangely feels right. Brilliant work Martin. We're at the end game now boys.
Oh well it still was a great comment and agree with you. You've earned a like keep up the great comments! No not a UA-cam bot or working for UA-cam if your questioning why I'm being. It's just in my nature. Have a nice day!!
I was shocked! The 2021 version is as different from this one as this is from the original marble machine. Even if some parts like the conveyor itself seem to have stood the test of time.
I took a year brake form watching and I'm just here like "where did everything go?" This isn't the marble machine x anymore. Its something entirely different
Me too! I have been watching his videos for nearly a year, as each part came together. But to see it all working you can see what a true mechanical marvel it is. There is just so much to take in!
There have been a few times that you could call something a beat by the marble machine. It is the first to be self-sustaining and not edited into a full beat, but I would not call it the first ever.
This ist so f***ing amazing. I think it makes even more fun to watch because I know almost every part in this machine and the hard work behind it. For me as an engineering student this ist truly art. Maybe even more than the music ;)
Yeah, even seeing it built step-by-step, it's still impressive to look at. Imagine how people will react when their first glimpse of the MMX is in its completed form.
You are not alone in that sentiment. I love the music but the machine and the intricate mind behind its construction is the key aspect for me. I can watch the machine just running for hours, marveling at how smooth it all runs (But aware of the ton of work trial and error that went into making it!)
I feel that the machine is apart of the music. The sounds of it all. The cranking and the belts working. The marbles rolling around and being picked up. It just adds to the music itself. If you take that away. It feels like half a song. Not complete. The machine is the heart of the music. It is the heart of the art in motion.
The way you got the marbles to constantly bounce off the drum into the plumping pipe with correct trajectory is bewildering me. Spheres have chaotic ways about them.
@@libb3n YES, YES, and a third very loud YES!!! Martin ought to also get an Honorary Masters Degree in Music.- presuming he does not have one already (a real one that is).
I'm so sad to have just learned that I cannot hear or see these machines in person. I live in Ohio USA. Thank you for this beauty. They make me cry in awe and love from the sounds and the engineering. These give me hope for humanity. If that makes any sense.
I thought he was gonna start playing the Marble Machine song for a brief moment before I remembered his machine isn’t fully ready yet, However if there’s any first song he should play once it’s ready. It needs to be Pipe Dream
I would actually like to see a whole new MMX song for its debut, like a deserved victory hymn for completing it. But there should definitely be a performance of the original Marble machine song, just for nostalgia and to honor what laid the foundations to this awesome project.
@@pitri_hub I'm sure martin will do that considering it was such a popular song. But maybe a extra after the concerts because of the 2 new albums new music
All I can say is WOW!!! I have been watching and following this channel for a long while and this post is the one I have been waiting for!! Excellent everything!! A++ cameras, lighting, sound, mike pickups, music, machine, design, build, CNC, CAD, inspiration, hard work, this is what its all about! GOOD JOB!
I am a Japanese audience. The work which you make is really great. I look directly sometime and want to listen to the music that you play. English does not get off with poorness. I support you from Japan! Love!
Honestly... This is worthy to skip invaluable minutes of sleep, late this night. I feel enlightened deep in my soul... My god this is Beautiful! I rarely comment. Dude, looking at your craft, I am jealous! Not many people have passion of this extent. Hope your project succeeds!
I bet that if Leonardo Da Vinci was born in our era, he would have ended up becoming a UA-camr. I wish all the inventions and discoveries in history were this well documented.
Really clever to design in such a way that the required movements, and their sounds occur in time with music. It's satisfying to watch the ball conveyor ratchet up with every beat. Its pretty wild me to that the incredible machine we all saw years ago was just a prototype. This guy is brilliant, and his dedication to this craft is very admirable.
Absolutely brilliant. I have 400 music students who are floored every time I show them the updates from your channel! Thanks for your work, it inspires so many!
I just listened to this video again. It brought tears to my eyes. GOD has inspired me through you, Martin, and all those who have worked on this project with you. keep investing your talents. There is times of pruning, and most don't submit to it, but you have... there will be more fruit in due season...
Ya know, this is more than satisfying... It's more into... When you see something unatural for the first time, but then it's beautiful at the same time
I have tears from watching that. Happy tears from watching the hard work all come together and finally pay off. Definite ASMR feels... so damn good that I have to keep watching it! I know it's not perfected yet; yes there's still marbles on the floor at the end, but this is a huge leap forward to see the marbles getting a shakedown and a freeride back to the top. Excellent work Martin =)
I think he passed brilliant a while back. He is at the point that he needs to be taken into custody and studied to see what we as a society can do to get to his level en mass.
This is what I imagine a steampunk bionic heart beat sounds like. Whirring gears, perfectly timed deep thumps, smaller clicks as valves flick open and closed. Pumping coolant around the synthetic body. Or maybe a music box brought to life from a spell/curse.
Respectfully request that you play and record the original marble machine song on the new Marble Machine X. It would be cool to compare the old with the new (perhaps in a split screen side by side video). This would definitely pass the cool factor! BTW congratulations!!!
Someday, years from now, we'll find the Marble Machine in the Speelklok Museum! The card will list you as Master Craftsman / Awesome video editor / and compelling composer. Love and am inspired by your work. Thank you B)
Chills... all across my body. I was in awe, I was breathless. A tear escaped my eye. This... I cannot begin to explain what I felt. Satisfaction? Relief? Heck if I know. But I know the end is in sight.
A-MA-ZING! It is such a joyfull moment when you see this modern masterpiece of musicengeneering come togethere piece by piece, week by week. Martin you and your team are great and so unbelievable talented.
Literally crying right now! If just a Kick Drum makes me cry for Joy, what is going to happen when the whole machine is finished!? This is BEAUTIFUL! Keep it up, Martin! MMX World Tour 2020?
For sure, I know I did! Its awe inspiring, extraordinary, amazing... Why wouldnt you cry at it's magnificence. Not to mention the brilliance and love that went into making it!!
It's actually the very kind of thing that might make me cry. I've teared up my fair share of times during these videos, for sure. Kind of glad I'm not the only person who got this emotionally invested in Martin and his MMX.
Wow @Wintergatan... I've been seeing the videos since day one and wow... What a journey!! There are still things to do but congratulations to all the team :) Warmest regards from sunny Portugal

Have you seen all the marbles on the floor at the end? I wouldn't call that closed.
But i can agree, this is what we've all been waiting for.
@@felixonken9334 yep but have you see the funnel he's using ? the definitive version will be better. if you look well you can see one marble going out of the funnel due to a too short trajectory.
"Closed loop that opens up the possibilities...!"
What a statement BRO!!
this is tickling all my OCD nodes, positively! It is so rhythmic, so good time wise, the flow of the marbles is just beautiful. A true masterpiece. I am grateful to be able to witness this becoming a thing.
Thank you so much for taking us on this journey :) Best wishes from Germany!
Absolutely. Those marbles coursing around the big bends, the staircase, the gears and timing. Oh my.
Except for the marbles being stuck in the de-magnetiser... those are annoying.
Sorry if you hadn't noticed and I ruined it for you.
@@JBergmansson It's by design... or at least Martin says so in the description. =)
@@JBergmansson I agree with the description here. The longer the marbles stay over the demagnetizer the less magnetic they remain, this is most certainly by design. Why else split the marble stream from 1 to 4? :)
@@willinwoods Still looks a little annoying though.
Oh this is SO DAMNED SATISFYING, and definitely on the final stretch now, can see the light at the end of the tunnel etc. WOW Martin, crying tears of joy for you man, this is gonna be EPIC! WE LOVE YOU!
Stanislav G. How does communism work into everything 🤣🤣🤣 and i agree with Nosey Nick
I have no idea what the heck it has to do with communism 🤣 ... but love that it's working, and catching the drum marbles in a bit of drainpipe hastily held on with tape, that's just showing off! 🤣
At least ONE fell on the floor at 5:58 though, don't get too cocky! :-p
"It's been a journey but we're now on our way"
Nosey Nick compared to the old machine is a lot of progress, the old one had marbles eeeeverywhere on the ground. I just love how it all goes with the beat to the music, and it looks so clean and organized.
@@kellyvalentin8797 oh ABSOLUTELY, and it's super-cool that is can MOSTLY drop so damned accurately into a bit of drain-pipe that's literally taped in place, don't get me wrong. Can't be long now!
Nosey Nick he’ll probably have some episode where he will fix that problem, like i am watching these as faithfully as i watch law and order svu every week. I even bought a teeshirt, this dude is amazing 🔥
That bounce off the kick drum to a small funnel/receiver is really impressive. I'll bet THAT took a lot of tuning to get the bounce just right.
Oh my sweet summer child
Yes maybe a small funnel is in order as I saw some miss or bounce out of the pipe.
A 7 and a half minute ASMR MMX video that I didn’t know I needed until now

You should get a diamond drag engraver for the CNC and engrave all the collaborators permanently on the machine. It could be a subtle but an awesome way to show how many people have helped this project.
Looking Great
*permanent (likely spellcheck, I forgive you) and I agree.
Just what I was thinking about...Would be such a nice touch!

@@frankzaffuto3670 , sorry, auto correct on my phone
Or a name on a marble
Damn. I saw the original, but hadn’t payed attention to it since. This one is so much more visual, with all the different conveyors and the clear tubes, and the mechanical rhythm of its movements. It’s very pleasing to watch
Copy paste Andy
Every single song, noises, marble drop, on note and on the ground, hit my soul and calm my anxiety. Thank you for being the man you are.
Whats left? Instruments and the marble catchers. Thats all that is separating us from a completed version of this marvel of engineering.
and troubleshooting and fine tuning, so much troubleshooting and fine tuning...
Can't wait though!
Packaging and recalibration fixtures. So, that when stuff wiggles, stage isn't flat, altitude, baro, even subway trains don't make it behave different in different places and the adjustments to compensate can be quick @@Hirosjimma
He will also need to do several tests to dismantle, and reassembly of the MMX.
He may also need to do a condensation test and maybe a discharge system as well.

@@carstenhilbert5472 how punny
WOW!!! First complete marble path loop on the MMX! (even if it has some temporary elements).
THIS IS AN AMAZING MILESTONE!!!
Martin, I was deeply moved by this video. My eyes welled up and all. Your epic project is clearly nearing completion. All the best. Bless you, man.
This is an extraordinary combination of art, design, math, music and mechanical engineering. It is sick:))
Sick?
No my friend, it’s magic.
Greetings.
The nostalgia of seeing 'the walk off' makedms me so humble. Just imagine the wonderful music it will produce! :)
When mechanical engineering and music arts combine harmoniously into one beautiful masterpiece.
But its off...
@@CreepX your brain is off 😁
So many UA-cam critiques by people that would struggle to figure out the timing on an analogue clock.
Absolute perfection
i never knew watching someone's imagination come to life could move me to tears of happiness.
Me too!!!my grandsons love this guy too!!
Absolutely stunning. The amount of complex tolerances between each notes rhythm from the machine itself, the amount of time it must take to work the equations out for the notes to ay at the right sequence, and all the trial and error to produce this magnificent natural sound from such a Victorian Era meets Steam punk build is just amazing. Keep building good sir.
It’s so satisfying when the marble lands in the pipe after it hit the small drum
Hell yea~!
You should go watch "pipe dream" by animusic. Trust me its worth it. Pretty much this thing on steroids

How can so many people dislike such an unbelievably valuable and magnificent innovation?!
Because this is a fucking waste of time, effort and talent?
Because the first one was incredible and this one is basically just an auto-piano with a one marble drum beet, so seems like he really phoned it in this time. Its just because a lot of us were expecting more, much more. Look -> ua-cam.com/video/IvUU8joBb1Q/v-deo.html

Just wanted to type the same , unbeliefable!
Such an emotional moment! I can't imagine how excited you must be Martin... Congratulations!!!
This is clearly an unusual way to create great music, not in tradition but sounds much cooler than the music being created nowadays. This is a completely different approach of creating good music using an uncommon instrument. Hats off to Martin 👍👍👍
We're so lucky to be witnesses of this marvel.
Thank you, Martin ☆

@@kris77879 good one
If you showed the MMX to an outsider and told them that this thing you have constructed is the lifting system for the MMX, the outsider would think it was a hodge podge of pistons and gears and whatnot, and they are somewhat correct. But if you start up the machine and let them have a closer look, it strangely feels right. Brilliant work Martin. We're at the end game now boys.
Was that last sentence a reference to marvel's endgame title?? Because I remember someone from one of the movies saying that.
@@WhsWarrior92 No, it was just something I said to say "Hey, we're almost done here"
Oh well it still was a great comment and agree with you. You've earned a like keep up the great comments! No not a UA-cam bot or working for UA-cam if your questioning why I'm being. It's just in my nature. Have a nice day!!
the satisfaction of watching this and understanding exactly how EVERY. PART. WORKS.
Chills.
I look forward to seeing this in person one day.
The machine is so different compared to what it looks like now.
I was shocked! The 2021 version is as different from this one as this is from the original marble machine. Even if some parts like the conveyor itself seem to have stood the test of time.
I was just thinking that. Had to stop and say goodbye to the beautiful old marble divider again.
I took a year brake form watching and I'm just here like "where did everything go?" This isn't the marble machine x anymore. Its something entirely different
I didn't realise I could be put into such a trance-like state. This video completely mesmerised me.
ASMR
same
Ditto
Me too! I have been watching his videos for nearly a year, as each part came together. But to see it all working you can see what a true mechanical marvel it is. There is just so much to take in!
You lost your marbles, aye?
this goes into history as the first beat ever performed by machine X
There have been a few times that you could call something a beat by the marble machine. It is the first to be self-sustaining and not edited into a full beat, but I would not call it the first ever.
It is the first to be self-sustaining and not edited into a full beat - exactly why i would call it the firs real beat ever
I can literally see every drop of blood, sweat and tears. A huge milestone. Congrats my dude.
@@spinningchurro I can't even.. 😂😂
Wow, makes me smile to know that someone has so much passion for something and actually puts it to work in so many beautiful ways! God bless!
I had been waiting for this video for so long.
Yet, I was not ready.
I'm gonna finnish chopping onions now and rewatch it later.
This is exactly how I'm feeling right now
Same here. It is so beautiful.
I totally feel ya.
This ist so f***ing amazing. I think it makes even more fun to watch because I know almost every part in this machine and the hard work behind it. For me as an engineering student this ist truly art. Maybe even more than the music ;)
Yeah, even seeing it built step-by-step, it's still impressive to look at. Imagine how people will react when their first glimpse of the MMX is in its completed form.
You are not alone in that sentiment. I love the music but the machine and the intricate mind behind its construction is the key aspect for me. I can watch the machine just running for hours, marveling at how smooth it all runs (But aware of the ton of work trial and error that went into making it!)
*fucking
Fuck censoring.
Centuries ago, the admired da Vinci for his creations... Today I admire pioneers like Martin with their creations of mechanical art pieces
I feel that the machine is apart of the music. The sounds of it all. The cranking and the belts working. The marbles rolling around and being picked up. It just adds to the music itself. If you take that away. It feels like half a song. Not complete. The machine is the heart of the music. It is the heart of the art in motion.
It works? IT WORKS!!!! Such chills much wow. Congrats Marten.
The way you got the marbles to constantly bounce off the drum into the plumping pipe with correct trajectory is bewildering me. Spheres have chaotic ways about them.
This should be flagged for porn.
Also, MMX should be used as a thesis for mechanical engineering.
Well sooner or later there will be porn of this sexy beast! properly even a anime girl version

@@ilerioyedele8481 yes, its mesmerising!!
james jones I thought to remark that the MMx need not play music at all but just be cranked to give us pleasure but you sir put it succinctly.
I'm so sad to have just learned that I cannot hear or see these machines in person. I live in Ohio USA. Thank you for this beauty. They make me cry in awe and love from the sounds and the engineering. These give me hope for humanity. If that makes any sense.
I thought he was gonna start playing the Marble Machine song for a brief moment before I remembered his machine isn’t fully ready yet,
However if there’s any first song he should play once it’s ready. It needs to be Pipe Dream
NintendoBrother I was also so ready for it! Hahah
Me too haha. Or at least the clack of the first lever
I would actually like to see a whole new MMX song for its debut, like a deserved victory hymn for completing it. But there should definitely be a performance of the original Marble machine song, just for nostalgia and to honor what laid the foundations to this awesome project.
@@pitri_hub I'm sure martin will do that considering it was such a popular song. But maybe a extra after the concerts because of the 2 new albums new music
Forget Pipe dream, this right here is Cog Dream.

Really clever to design in such a way that the required movements, and their sounds occur in time with music. It's satisfying to watch the ball conveyor ratchet up with every beat. Its pretty wild me to that the incredible machine we all saw years ago was just a prototype. This guy is brilliant, and his dedication to this craft is very admirable.

This is like stumbling upon a gem within UA-cam. Awesome stuff.
This is what I imagine a steampunk bionic heart beat sounds like. Whirring gears, perfectly timed deep thumps, smaller clicks as valves flick open and closed. Pumping coolant around the synthetic body. Or maybe a music box brought to life from a spell/curse.
Respectfully request that you play and record the original marble machine song on the new Marble Machine X. It would be cool to compare the old with the new (perhaps in a split screen side by side video). This would definitely pass the cool factor! BTW congratulations!!!
AGREE
I don't know. The original marble machine song was for the first machine. It seems like a new tune is more fitting for this one.
i see what you mean, what about if he does a remix of it? Showing what feature it has compared to the old one, and new sounds. @@spinningchurro
He said he would definitely play the original song on the machine but it won't be the first song he plays on it or smth like that

It's actually the very kind of thing that might make me cry. I've teared up my fair share of times during these videos, for sure. Kind of glad I'm not the only person who got this emotionally invested in Martin and his MMX.
