[@ItsBugtronic]

or because its not actually playing anything its a glorified button pusher, how do we know the hits that are being registered are even whats playing the song. its the Robotics impressive sure. but as an instrument and as just a demo sorry is not that impressive.

[@joltz..2042]

Well.. It's faked.. On both the OG. And this. So uh. Yeaaah..

[@joltz..2042]

@@ItsBugtronic it's even more glorified. There are no buttons. It's just some balls getting launched at the right times and lights turning on at pre-programmed times to make it LOOK like it's playing it.

[@ianmitchell5979]

To all the comments saying this isn't impressive because it's faked, it still proves that the physics and coordination is possible. All that's needed is more space and stronger force so that the sound could activate. That, and making the belt accurate to the notes, and not a simple platform. But seriously, this is super amazing, since it's shows that it is POSSIBLE!

[@newtfigton8795]

So enough time has passed that there is tech to recreate pipe dream in real life, but there's STILL no Animusic 3 by then?? It would be incredible if someday there would be tech that could create fiber bundles in real life.

they probably could, but it would be even cooler if they made starship groove or pogo sticks

[@MasterJennaMcLain]

Seriously though. I loved these as a kid learning piano. It's probably go apeshit of they made acoustic curves real.

[@Tinkatube]

Animusic 3 got successfully kickstarted many years even before this comment. Problem came when the money ran out, because of botched production. The last update was in 2015, six years ago, and that update confirmed one of the original Animusic artists left the team because he literally couldn't afford the financial strain since the project was taking so long. With the team shrunk, one guy was basically doing a TON of the actual legwork to make it happen. And then he got diagnosed with a bunch of stuff ranging from ADHD, Depression, Bell's Palsy, and RSI (Repetitive Strain . It's safe to say the project for Animusic 3 is dead. Regardless of Wayne's claims that it's at the forefront of his mind every second, we haven't heard anything in more than six years.

While I have to note that the music is pre-recorded as multiple times you can see the ball not hit a lit up LED when the note plays, I can still enjoy this as the fun attempt it was, bravo.

[@djdixon6772]

+Brandon Beck (BoastfulGhost) Except this isn't actually playing the music, or doing anything that they say it's doing. The music is superimposed over the machine. If you watch the balls and follow the sounds of the corresponding instrument, they don't add up. It's basically just for show.

[@shiningarmor2838]

+Dj Dixon it's not the same samples as Animusic uses, there's something more behind this

[@EldritchSylvia]

Yep, he's right, the music is slightly off, and while I'm surprised that no balls went off and hit other stuff, the sound is far from perfectly matching up to the original animusic. So unless they went and recorded their own version of it and then played that, then this actually was happening.

I always used to try making "remixes" of Resonant Chamber - since it was my favourite - but hardly failed, i did it on GarageBand, lol.

The cowbell moves out of the way, but the backing track still plays it's 4 notes. Milli Vanilli robots giving a visual representation of what is being played.

[@kokiriplayzlol]

That robot gave the most intense glockenspiel solo that it's ever had in its entire music career, and the audience gave it a "nice". DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH TALENT THAT TAKES? cuz I don't, I play the bass.

[@addressapocalypse5968]

That was a vibraphone ☝️🤓

[@ArchTeryx00]

This was truly an amazing achievement. Remember, the original video had all the balls on exactly the same 'flight path' with funnels that never failed to catch them. Real World physics is far more complex, and there's a large element of randomness in the flight of a ball discharged from even a precision machine. (Note that quite a few of the balls end up outside their catchbasins - but the small cheat of refilling between performances is one easily forgiven). :-)

[@ShpiggityShpike]

It helps that the lights and sounds are pre-programmed, and the balls are just synced to hit as an add on. You can see it most clearly on the cowbell high hat contraption where the cowbell will still sound and light up even when the balls miss due to the rotation, but its also noticed when stray balls hit pads but don't produce sound or light.

[@user-tp6hj4bj7o]

@@ShpiggityShpike if the balls actually played the music then it will be not good cause of stray balls hitting other panels. It's practically impossible to make a machine like pipe dreams due to simple laws of physics

[@tasa4904]

@@user-tp6hj4bj7o It's possible, but not with an Intel Atom processor and cheap launcher mechanisms.

[@securi-t]

None of those people actually saw the original back when it was the bleeding edge of CGI animation. I didn't even know this was a thing until now and I'm just finding that this was done a DECADE AGO. That would have been absolutely jaw dropping to see IRL.

[@joelclegg5930]

I don't care if it was doctored a little, this is an amazing feat! The first time I saw animusic (specifically pipe dreams and the drum machine) I wondered how far off the animation was from real physics. The recycling of the balls after they strike their note was the most unrealistic, hard to imagine part. It would be nearly impossible to launch the ball in a way that you could predict where it would bounce after striking the note every time, so it's no surprise that they weren't able to pull that part off. I thought the same thing about the hihat hits, but it looked like the closed hihat may have been a different cymbal altogether to me. I'll have to watch again. Either way, this the most discouraging part, IMO. The opening and closing of the hat does seem very possible to pull off in real life and it's pretty crucial for the authenticity of the original version. bad call

[@o1OrangeLeopard]

You should check out wintergatan's marble machines.

[@l.clevelandmajor9931]

This is amazing for a live version, but if you look closely, the spent balls are falling to the floor, and not into the catch tubes seen in the animated video. Also they shortened the piece being played. The reason there are not catch tubes is because as I said in a comment for the Animusic Pipe Dream 2 video, the physics are controlled in the animation, which obviously cannot happen here. The balls don't bounce exactly the same every time. So they just fall to the floor, and don't get recycled though the Pipe System. Also if you look close at the circular xylophone, you can see that the ball firing mechanism is aiming its fire in different directions. and the part that opens the xylophone to be played is jerky, not smooth like the animated version. In real life the laws of physics cannot be rewritten! Still, the effort was well thought out for this version, so I give it a like!

[@mimisezlol]

A neater system could still be derived; there's a channel on KZbin where a guy uses this principle of using marbles to player instruments to make a song with an a analog mechanical "Marble Machine" and it has the clean up pipes that catch most of the marbles

[@jeawhiz]

Search KZbin for "Wintergatan". It's way more impressive than Intel's version.

something about animusic and how we all had and or are having a homestuck phase 🤕🕺

[@rlrsk8r1]

The xylophone fountain looked viable. Several times it didn't look like it was putting out the necessary number of balls to match the Animusic song 1 for 1, but it looked like it could play, same with the drums. The stringed instrument would be harder with actual strings.

[@freescape08]

Double bounces off vibrating strings would be physically impossible to get the same result twice, that's part of the magic of the animation.

Something I suspected. In the CGI when the balls were caught by the funnels, it was all precalculated. In real life, those balls fall anywhere after hitting the instrument. :) Also I'm hearing tones a tenth of a second before the balls hit. Sad to say this machine is not generating that music but prerecorded audio with "hit or miss" on the balls.

[@f1urps]

Yeah, I'm pretty sure I even saw some balls totally miss their targets, yet still produce sound. Pretty disappointing. Look up Wintergatan if you haven't heard of him -- there's a guy trying to make a fully functional machine similar to this, but without any of the cheating :)

[@donDiegoEstebanMgLKenNDJohnson]

You're absolutely right. This was a prerecorded script regardless of the success or failure in choreography. Without prerecording the soundtrack the beans/balls are far too unpredictable in size, weight, and density being slightly off center mark and the entire reason for every note to be digitized. The leds actually cause just enough of a visual distraction the viewer might not see a double strike by a bean/ball which does not produce any sound. Either way, attempting this without prerecording, even on digital instrumentation, would not be a small undertaking.

[@alexmiranda6107]

it would be more impressive if instead the intel atom rendered pipe dream in real time, to the best of it's ability. which wouldn't have been very good, as it would be software rendering on a chip worse than a celeron, which were known for being low power(from low performance).

Intel, if you are listening, I would be an intel enthusiast for LIFE if you did this same thing in today's time and tech with "Resonant Chamber" with full string instruments and no BS.
