      Not sure if you’ve cannibalised it for parts, if your cat has eaten half of it, or even if you could be bothered to, but I doubt I’d be alone here in hoping for another drum track quiz 😉

    I’m a percussionist, and I showed this to my band leader. He literally suggested to kick me out of the band, and get that Lego machine instead of me…
    Edit: I don’t know how this comment got that many likes. I hope it’s not because you agree with my band leader.

      He is free to do whatever he wants but most, like me, see that he lost sight of what his project was; a cool machine that makes music with marbles. If just making music was his goal then MIDI would have sufficed and could play his music without missing a single note. We never even got to see a demonstation of what MMX could do in video form like the video of his wooden prototype back in the day.
      He got wrapped up in 'self-help' books, quoting Elon Musk and trying to 'optimise his workflow', ultimately deciding it was better to give up and start a new project rather than accept minor flaws. That is why his latest videos have a miniscule amount of views compared to his older ones.
      It was a great shame and I'm not alone in thinking that. At some point, good enough has to be good enough, any recording musician knows this otherwise you never finish anything. Live musicians know that better still.
