The expectation buildup with instruments added each time... when the msic finally came together after the 10000th marble dropped, I had tears coming to my eyes, because I could feel Martin's feelings, I could see the end of the journey and the relief of it all. Finally, music with MMX! It feels like Martin has achieved an insane milestone, and now just has to repeat the same known and proven process for the other channels. No more surprises, right? Live concert by the end of the Summer, right? This feels absolutely good, and I can't wait for this channel to transition from an engineering channel to a music composing channel. I loved the engineering channels, I'll love the music composing channel even more because of its journey.

Fortunately the majority of the work has been in learning. And in designing, and hopefully his cad files are securely backed up in a cloud location. A fire would be terrible. But the machine could be rebuilt decently fast as he could remake all the parts straight from the cad files.

“The devil is in the details in this project” Nothing more true has been said, the details always make or break things. And don’t feel bad about the time it took, you’ll find that even the most well planned and well engineered projects can easily go over time and budget.

as an engineer and someone who does fabrication work, the amount of focus care and time that is going into this is incredible.

You took the words right out of my mouth, I wish. Thank you. 1920 my father's father, a mailman in Twin Falls, Idaho bought a Monarch Baldwin player piano for his family; wife's family from Malmo, Sweden. 9 kids and 60 grandchildren later, I fortunately had put so many years training as a pianist from Maria Levinskaya Pianoforte School, London, UK and voice from Mrs. Sailor, who taught voice in New York City for 55 years. She told me Pavorotti was trained in New York City. She said she knew that because Pavorotti's teacher also taught her. So of my 59 siblings and cousins I was fortunate to inherit this marvellous piano. The guts are long gone but the tone is beyond belief. Example: I also raised 9 children, whose mother was so beyond belief that her grandfather, hard worker and lay minister told her she could have done so much better. Of course I was hurt but I knew he was right. He married a girl from Switzerland. She probably felt the same. Anyway I entertained at Old Faithful Inn for several years and in addition to being active in my Church, trying to be a good husband and father, raising them from money earned as a career graphic artist 40 to 50 hours a week spent 30 hours a week for 5 years composing one song. My poor piano had dozen of cards in between the hammers to keep them going straight to their strings. My family said they thought the piano would crash through the ceiling to the living room because I played so hard. 27 minutes long. Lyrics took 3 weeks to write, but I'm still trying to perfect piano and voice to fit the mood of my lyrics. So thank you for your comments about this wonderful music making machine.

I've been playing accordion for 4 years in a music school. Using the accordion and the case as percussive instruments is a totally valid technique. It's used very often in accordion compositions. Also, for totally different reason - the accordion is sometimes classified as a percussive instrument. It's because the sound is produced by vibrating plates agitated by the air blowing by and it's not really the same mechanism as in the rest of the wind instruments which have pipe resonators. By this logic harmonica could also be considered a percussive instrument.

I am so happy for the fact that I've seen this project set off as it was, and then observed it heading to this monstrous greatness.

No matter how skilled of an engineer you are. You would never be able to create the amazing music you do, if you were not a talented musician as well. You always give the feel good vibes.

this is historic. I don't think I'll ever experience another journey like this. From finding the original music video, to seeing him trying to fix a few things, to thousands of people joining his mission, to him reaching perfection. Every step has been mesmerizing and inspiring, and I've been here through every mishap and moment of brilliance.

He talked about less parts in that vid and then overengineered these mechanisms(imo) with so many parts, although i like all of it except the fact that he created this spring linkage and didnt use the broken escapement. Maybe theres more behind this someone could fill us in if hes been on discord.

There is a design error. The bottom pallet/tooth angle is not at right angles to the pallet pivot, which means the pallet can "cam out" when the wheel is pushed hard enough. The cad team have a fix designed and tested. Means new wheels and pallets, but the rest of the gate can be unchanged.

1:08 scared me for a moment how they jumped back, but seeing how the machine survived 10k marbles, there is no more need to worry

That was the most impressive journey through the life of a product development ever. And of a developer as well. I took me three days for all 172 videos on this channel and I realized more and more how much the marble machine X and Martin overlap with my professional life. In real life, I'm a member of a team that develops products for fiber optic infrastructure. Such as connection closures, fiber optic distribution cabinets and wall boxes. The team gets bigger and bigger in the course of product development, because more and more tasks are added up to industrialization and series production. But we start with three people. The CAD designer, the maker (me) and the planner. These three people form the core team from the first idea and accompany the product through to the first delivery to our customers. It was extremely exciting for me to see how Martin embodies these three tasks, sometimes more sometimes less. With the marble machine X, I learned a lot about the interplay of roles and overcoming boundaries and restrictions. Thank you for these instructive hours. I think they will be helpful when working on my team.

That may be a first for him to say. But it is interesting that we hear him actually say it.

Martin, congrats on this milestone! It looks like the right side clock escapement is not functioning properly. The gear is not actually interacting with the bottom pallet. The slo-mo at 18:07 shows this really well.

@Zoltan54

It appear that Martin added a metal pin which is engaging the escapement wheel instead of the bottom pallet. Likey a prototype addition trying to remedy the runaway escapement under high marble pressure. This may be a one off design that is no longer necessary because of the pressure reducing wiggles and would explain why it's never mentioned. If it is needed, look forward to it in a future video!

Yea something has gone seriously wrong here and not covered in the video. The bottom of the escapement IS the regulator. I'm wondering is the problem is how far those fingers are moving away from the escapement (looks like over 10cm). It is excessive and will slow the machine down too. Ideally it would only move a cm or two.

@@mcbeenb No no, that's not the problem. The problem is very well know from the discord community (they forsaw it happen), and it has to do with the geometry of the teeths and the pallets ... Check the #idea-vaults in the discord server to see a graphic version (Martin really need to see this !)

At kzread.info/dash/bejne/YpZhpMF7l5aXiso.html you can see the same happen on the left channel... too little marble pressure? These clock escapements do need pressure to function after all. (the spring or weights in a real clock)

Love that you made is explosion proof this time, no matter how many time you exploded it, it pulled itself back together. Impressive.

That explosion was very inaccurate, needs thousands more washers 😂

Martin, I praise you for your “Angel’s Patience” (“Engelen geduld” in Dutch 😜) and even though I have watched every single one of the MMX videos, this is one of my favorite ones! All of your videos are masterpieces, but this one had an almost “old school”, tutorial like quality to it, a bit like the early ones you did on the beautiful islands in Gothenburg (where I am right now 🤩). Please don’t loose faith, you have come so far, and as an engineer myself I can say that I am not just proud of you… but I am in AWE of you! Regards from a Sunny Gothenburg.

I’m not exaggerating even a little when I say that this man will go down in history as one of the greatest musical engineers of the last millennium. Granted, he has a lot of help from advanced printing and woodworking technology, but simply watching the process of crafting every single mechanical aspect of this machine is awe-inspiring. Martin’s videos have hundreds of millions of views collectively, but he has less than 3 million subscribers, and that is just not fair.

"Queen and David Bowie - Under Pressure" comes to mind as a theme song for MMX. No matter what Martin does he cannot escape the problem of cumulative pressure from the marbles.
