      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.

    I love how 3:334 isn't even something with the legos, it's just the previous part of the video sped up.

    Holy shit. This is the most impressive Lego build I’ve ever seen. Not only does it confirm that Is possible to build a functional piano out of Lego but also a literal hand made MIDI file!!!!! This is absolutely incredible

      Have you ever seen those mobile fairground/carnival organs? The ones that play the drums, wind instruments, and percussion? Those are pretty amazing too, and they work on a similar principle, but use rolls of paper with cutouts in place of the lego belt and pins this creation uses. Funny thing is - that's exactly how computers used to be programmed - a set of cards with holes hand-punched into them to act as the 1s and 0s of the program.
