The progress is slooow but steady. Next target is to end the issue with the marbles missing the funnels, until i have done that i dont think we can achieve a perfect score. I also noticed that the score doesnt get punished enough for failed marbles, when rounding the score to two decimal points you couldnt see a difference. So i should probably alter the score calculation function in the spreadsheet for that. Thank you everyone for following the build!
These are the larger remaining steps until full completion:
- hihat activation
- Cymbal Activation
- plywood module for vibraphone (same design as for drums)
- vibraphone marble droppers (same design as for drums)
- plywood module for bass (same design as for drums)
- bass marble droppers (same design as for drums but smaller, trickier)
+ a lot of smaller extras, but it seems within reach i think!
Nice
In every way i see function which doesn't end catastrophic like most things so i only see victory
Have a look at the Tier 3 idea vault for community submitted formulas, Martin. ;)
Just take the time you need Martin, we will wait as long as it needs no hurry, no rush, no stress.
@@Tyrope living in london... please dont bring tiers into this channel.
Martin, you should get yourself a thermal camera to keep an eye on the machine during these long tests to see if any frictions are creeping in anywhere!

Really good idea. Also provides the data on how fire those tracks are.
Thermal cameras are stupidly expensive, but some places offers rental for much less
@@custodeon depends on resolution and several other factors. I bought a fairly basic one just to find a water leak under a floor. Was cheaper than getting another incompetent plumber in

This man right here is my hero. He has the determination, the skills, the friendliness. He deserves everything he has right now. He works so hard, and never gives up, and laughs when he makes mistakes. He does all of this purely for his and our enjoyment. He’s been working on this machine for years, and isn’t planning on giving up ever. We love you Wintergatan. Keep doing what you love, and I’ll be sure to download that sheet music.
Wow no replies in two weeks
Apparently
Totally agree with this....
Sadly can't download the sheet, don't play
But will recommend it to my friends who do...👍
*tips fedora*
this dude needs to become a sperm donor, the world desperately needs more people like him
i dont care what anyone says. this is my definition of peak art. the absolute peak. peak engineering, peak musicality, peak art. absolute banger.
If he plays the original marble machine song on the new machine, he can republish it as the remastered version.
The most work put into a remaster of a song ever probably.
i would love that
I think it's more than fair to give it a remake status lol
And it needs to be a single long shot, to show off the reliability. The original video was edited together from lots of takes since the machine wasn't reliable enough to even make it through the song.
@@paulogarcia9557 same
The *PAIN* of seeing a CNC eating through the screws actually made me gasp
13:50
one way to get rid of a unstripped screw. that's for sure lol I have done similar with my mini cnc as well... i had to replace the motor though, she burned up real good.
@@ncgrave4586 It just made me think back to getting a mini PCB pillar drill bit through my thumb when i first used it... Bit of a careless moment to say the least

@@enfield_the_enigmatic2989 same here
I let out a loud OH NO a millisecond before it happened!
I'm honestly really glad to stumble across your videos. The Marble Machine sounds very good even with the clicks and clanks. Makes it a lot more authentic some how, but that's just me.
With the right microphones and mixing, those noises should not be as apparent.
Hey man, I relax to you everyday! Cool to see you here.
Hey, its my man sensei!

It would be interesting to see the MMX through a heat cam after a test
Just commenting so he sees this comment
Very much so. That could also highlight potential problems with it down the road. Martin should totally do this, even if only for its investigative value.
That’s a really neat idea
If a part has enough friction that it heats up significantly, you will definitely notice without using a thermal camera.
Could be interesting, it could spot some hidden flaws
15:50 track should be released, it sounds soooo good.
I have no idea how I ended up here but I think what I saw was a mad scientist, designer, engineer, constructor, musician doing something rather awesome. Most not wasted time I have had on YT for ages. Thanks for being amazing.
Martin,
one way you could improve the funnels would be to bracket them to the frame at the base of the funnel, instead of relying on the PMMA to support them. that way the funnel as a whole doesn't move during playing, while the spring back can still move. additionally, less than 10 marbles out of 50000 lost to missing the funnel is really good. keep in mind that is a non destructive failure that doesn't directly effect the song. The last two or three tests have had a 0% critical failure rate, meaning nothing was damaged that would prevent you putting a marble or two back in the machine and continuing to play a concert.
Also first time commenting, but i've been watching since the beginning.
Regards
This is a really good idea also I was here from the begging to!!!!
On the day of 1 million marbles he should do a live stream the entire time.
totally agree, I'd spend a whole day for that.
Should be great for us, but i he probably won't stay in front of the mmx during the entire test.
Absolutely great idea!
Dude, that would be absolutely epic!! The time could be filled with virtual visits from family, friends, and other musicians from around the world. Would also be a great time with back stories about the build. So many of us would be tuning in throughout the test run stream. And if there were any smart sponsors out there, they would be wise to get all over this event!!! ;-)
@@nako9790 With 38 channels 1.000.000 marbles only comes to around 26.315 pr channel, at the same bpm as this test it should only be a little more than half the time. I think he could do that.
I would definitely watch it!
Man...this is SO beautiful...this comment will be lost in the mix, but so much appreciation for the craftsmanship of the analog tech here. How incredibly beautiful this work is.
You, sir, are one of the most inspiring people I "know"! Not just with your engineering skills but with your contagious enthusiasm and love for what you're doing. There's just a certain vibe about your videos, impossible to describe with words, but making me smile from the bottom of my soul. I'm proud of being your patron (and little ashamed that my monthly contribution isn't bigger). Thank you for sharing your journey (and your personality) - you always remind me what it's like when someone's found their purpose and it helps me to keep going when I feel like losing mine. Please never stop creating, Martin :)
The way these tests blend so smoothly into jams, which so smoothly blend into background music....flawless. these videos are masterpieces in themselves
This is getting so close to the real life “animusic” dvd that partially inspired this project!!
Kudos martin!!
bro after binging martin’s videos this morning i was trying to remember the name of the weird animated machine movie i watched in like 6th grade music class, so anyway thanks
@@maggielong7625 glad i could help!!
That was such a cool dvd back in the day lol
If these aren’t on museums when I’m on my deathbed I am gonna die a sad man.
unless they are not in the museum because they are still in use.
Museum or not, this has to be a part of history, its just too good
What a brilliant, and inspiring young man! It's refreshing to see someone with such incredible talents; multi lingual, mechanical genius, instrumental genius, excellent teacher, yet humble, patient, determined, and kind hearted. Thank you!

I should go to bed soon. Let me just refresh youtube once.
Oh no.
Yeah same for me. We need to be fit tomorrow
I feel you. I finished watching it, and it's 1 am...
My words and it's 1am, too 🙈
Same here😂
Welp, 2:15a.m. at the momment
I've never seen before, a Modern Artist like this, it seems like your Mind is so pure, its not about Business, not about Money, not about Monetizing your work, its purely about your Love for art, Music and Engineering, you even made some of your stuff available for free !
Watching you feeling genuinely Happy while working on your Machine, and playing Music, made me Feel Empty, you must be One of the Luckiest and Happiest Person in the whole world, So Inspiring, I hope I could also able to feel the same as you, to the things I do. Hats off.
I'm so thrilled for you and Wintergatan!! Thank you for the beautiful music!!🥰
And when we all needed him most, he returned!
I see some avatar here
@@samuelhrasko1809 hahaha
When he does his world tour, Im sure the crowd will anticipate collecting these marbles falling off. It'll be reminiscent of catching a home run at a baseball game. Probably better odds at catching a home run though.
Haha so true! xD Maybe it's an added value as long as there is no chance that it is a critical falure, stopping the machine.. :)
One word..Corona... you will never see them touring, trust me
@@F-Andre bro, if he gets the mmx done before corona ends, I'd be impressed.
@@voxelfusion9894 Actually, I think that'd be a great bet to make.
What will be the limiting factor for the MMX touring?
a) Coronavirus
b) MMX assembly
@@voxelfusion9894 think he ment corona woulnt end, i donno if its true though.
Sheet music for free? Absolute madman
I love how this man doesn't do it for fame, money, or publicity. He does it just for the art and music. That is why I admire this man so much.
Based on the carbon on the drum heads, it looks like you will not only need a marble demagnetizer, but also a marble cleaner.
but the mag-lifts look good in black/greyish
He's using graphite.
Think this has to do with him adding in those graphite to make the ways smooth before replacing the module completely. The snare sees less of it because he didn't do it there that way
@@j.a.steiger7201 graphite is a form of carbon, in the same way that diamond is. They just have different molecular structures.
@@ouzoloves You can get drunk on some forms of diamond water.
I haven't caught up with Wintergatan in a while, so to come back and see such massive progress is such a great sight and it's astonishing. I hope this doesn't sound too cheesy or sappy, but I think Martin and his Marble Machine X is so inspiring. Watching his videos and seeing him come closer to completing the machine makes me feel a little less like a crazy person for having ambitious ideas, so thank you Martin for sharing your journey with us!
Journey before destination
to me the inspiring thing is how long hes been at it. hes basically restarted a few times and STILL is going strong. Also, he also started with a lot less knowledge. he has learned more than any of us would have imagined. He went from a musician with a dream to a full production team in both machining to video. This man can not be stopped
@@Etothetaui Found the Stormlight Archive fan!
It's nice to see Martin actually making music with the MMX and enjoying it so much :)
Your master of art,music and design blows my mind
absolutely criminal that he told us about the sheet music book after christmas
"Take a look at this clean floor" is now my favorite phrase ever.
5:55
Nah for me it's the "only took me 3 years"
This guy... wow. Beyond genius level intellect! What a beautiful translation of your brain power!
Extraordinary Genius of nature .God blessed you Brain
There is a certain irony that I procrastinate by watching a guy work really hard on something, himself diligently working to avoid procrastination.
Chuck F Hello your not alone -- some tasks take more than research knowledge, the physical preparation can also be time consuming . Even here with Martins amazing progress it started with an IDEA following on with a plan, then putting bits of his IDEA into play-- pardon pun.
I like you & many others find this truly INSPIRATIONAL !! This is an encouragement not to give up!!😉
Sadly, I also fall into that category.
I’m just smiling ... and enjoying hearing MMX actually function as an instrument ... and the Wintergatan song on the piano makes me tear up
Just in case you don't know, Martin has been uploading daily to his second channel (Wintergatan 2) with progress on the MMX. I highly advise you go check it out because he has done BARE stuff to the machine now, and fixe lots of things on it-- he's even done a test with the HI hat, snare drum and kick drum all linked up to the marble divider (which he has also overhauled as of the latest video)
@@TheRealBatabii He did, it was a video or two ago on this chanel
WHY DID HE NOT TELL ME ABOUT THIS GAAAH!
OR MAYBE HE DID BY WHY THE HECK DID I FORGET ABOUT IT! GAAAH!
@@TheRealBatabii He did in the Community tab: ruclips.net/user/Wintergatancommunity 😉
omg remember when you pretty much finished the marble machine X and it was soooooo awesome
This is my favorite episode so far. I have no idea why I’m so emotionally involved in the development of the marble machine x but gosh dang I love it.
Not going to lie, hope you release the test song. It scratches my love for synthwave

"It's also really satisfying in that special way only a spreadsheet can be"
*MATT PARKER LIKED THIS*
I imagine it's got to feel like what sorcery feels like. Sure it is great the first time, but then it is just a thing you do going about your business.
Yay on the spreadsheet front... As a bit of a spreadsheet nut myself, this is the first time I've seen Martin do something where I've known a better way. To see him level up is very satisfying.
The Parker Square liked this too. Yay for giving things a go!
That sneaky little math man!
I thought of him when Martin said that, after first empathizing thoroughly due to my own love of spreadsheets, of course.
Also, you're amazing, Matt Parker. And, hell, you too @Kant Predict
I somehow alwyas seem to end up watching youtubers that are spreadsheet enthusiasts, first him, then ManyATrueNerd, now Wintergatan
Beautiful book!
This is seriously so satisfying!! As an AuDHDer, this is incredible!!! All the clicks and the consistent drops of the marbles are SO satisfying! Thank you for your work!! I’ve only seen several videos thus far, but it’s always so good!!
Just realized his current marble dropper design are kinetic fingers. And they serve a function. And these do not look creepy.
They are not very visible, which was the point of having kinetic fingers
Those fingers arent creepy. The name is creepy. Fingers. A machine with some fingers. Fingers. That is creepy
@@homailot2378 I'm sure there will be jumbotrons at these concerts that will have the machine in closeup. There's no need for skeletal fingers on the thing. :p

This feels like one of the best episodes in a while. I actually laughed so hard my sides hurt when the CNC went straight for those screws. I loved seeing the engineering put into fixing previous problems and adding the new tracks in. I like the new spreadsheet and in this episode it really feels like the MMX is progressing nicely and has a clear path forward. Then you put in some footage of the early shop and that music box clip to tie it into early episodes. Awesome! This one is super exciting.
You aren’t building a machine, a work of art is evolving to a new level of existence.

He should put a download for that one on the website
Kinda want this track on Spotify :D
Reminds me of Hall & Oates - Out Of Touch
I want to hear this synthwave in a dollarplays video.
I need this awesome track!

Fun fact: The song Martin plays throught the whole video is called "Rolling The Boulder" 🎶
Is there a way to listen to whole song?
I think we are all looking for the song xD
Everyone watching;
"We don't live in a perfect world."
Martin;
"IT WILL BE PERFECT!"
Martin: "I can fix that."
Martin: look at this perfect clean floor !

In a perfect world, men like me would not exist, but this is not a perfect world.

"You're not watching me build a machine, you're watching me learn how to build a machine" :D Welcome to engineering! As discouraging as it sometimes feel, I hope you remember that it's how the process works, and is why I enjoy watching projects like this.
Don't get discouraged, every step is progress, even if it involves an angle grinder.
Eitherway he is litteray gonna be in world record books. That thing is almost complete
The intersection of music and engineering has brought me to tears. Thank you.
You've probably been told this countless times, but those plywood threads are not going to hold up well over time, especially if you're taking the screws out repeatedly. You can get special inserts that you can press and/or glue in that will provide a metal thread that will last forever.
Fortunately you can just drill out the existing threaded hole with a hand drill and stick the insert in there, so it's not like you're making a mistake here. But keep those in mind for when these connections start getting sloppy.
I think this is kind of a prototyping stage. At some point he’ll have to add threaded inserts, but right now he’s just getting parts in there and seeing what works. I’m sure he’ll put it off though and it’ll come to bite him in the ass.
He's going to need to replace them eventually anyways because the wear the marbles cause by rubbing the pieces.
@@1up4evr7 That's the purpose of the graphite.
He's secretly working with IKEA to sell a 'build your own MMX' kit.
or you can always just go for nuts. not as elegant but works too
Gotta admit, I was confused when he started off with the marble test before making the changes but as the video went on I was really enjoying the format. Great job as always, Martin!
Wintergatan you are a genius! I wish I had your genius mind! Beautiful work!
Yay for someone who loves to share his music and genius!

Doesn’t drop half its marbles too
@@iain3713 the original didn't just drop marbles everywhere, it didn't work at all. Martin has said that he had to do tons of takes to make the video. Everything failed and had to be fixed constantly. It never had a single clean playthrough of any song. It was an engineering mess.
Did you comment before watching? Martin added kilos of wood in this episode.
@@adobedoug2564 still much less wood then the previous machine, which was made entirely of wood, excluding screws I guess
In the CNC room entry shot there was a second MMX in progress I think, or am I just seeing things ?
You should use glow in the dark marbles when you tour. Or white marbles and shine a black light on it. This way, the audience will be able to see them and you don’t need moving funnels or kinetic fingers.
The engineering on this rig is awesome. Can't imagine the amount of time it took to get all the measuring done for the holes and tunnels.

i want to take a guess here about those marbles......., those marbles missing the funnel...... have you ever checked their mass? maybe weigh them as i suspect that they might be a tad lighter than the rest "flukes" that may cause them to travel a slightly different trajectory.
Yes
Maybe just make the funnel bigger?

Am I the only person who enjoys the pure mechanical sound of working mechanisms?
It is truly beautiful how far his machine has come in just 4 years; how clean it is, how much more it's capable of, and the efficiency of the inner workings. I absolutely love it.
The fact that you give your music sheets for free is really amazing. I don't even read sheet music when I am playing but I want to actually buy the hard copy version just because it is really beautiful.
I'm in love with this man. I cannot believe he'd just let people download all that music for free. Also the marble machine trials never cease to amaze me
me too
Still keep coming back for that guitar! Also love the machine, followed you from the start!
Its really great to see this amazing anlog machine in a wildly digital world😊👍
Looks like some of the graphite powder is transferring onto marbles and then to the drum. The marbles will slip on the drum surface and miss the funnel
The fact the fails all came towards the end seems to back this up.
I'm more inclined to believe that it's just trace oxidation residue compounded by the high traffic. If a teeny tiny speck of oxide comes off every tenth marble, just from these drop tests, you have 11000 teeny tiny oxide marks left over on a white surface. Which about checks out. The potential effect of graphite powder is negligible. We're not worrying about plywood sawdust or trace fibers from the felt or residue from loctite. These aren't laboratory conditions, there's gonna be unavoidable trace contamination from every other component of the machine.
Wasn't towards the end though, they were right in the middle.
@@Koushakur it was towards the end of the part where he hadn't adjusted the funnels.
Martin: “I have an interesting solution for that problem”
Me: one giant mega funnel
Yeah let's make one giant that takes all marbles from all instruments 😂
Me: Super-powerful vacuum pump. Snatch those marbles out of thin air.
Me: tilted floor which redirects the missed marbles back into the machine
Or hire a team of people to pick up the marbles and manually put them back into the machine
Ok but what if....
