MANY MANY WIRES, BUT IT NOW LIVES - Vibraphone - Glockenspiel - ANOTHER ORGAN PROJECT PART 2

How fast can the solenoid hammers play? Very interesting content 👍

Tomato tomato; would it be possible to use a softer material, like rubber, on the mallets or add padding to the carillon mallets to make them less harsh?

Mr Rogers Neighborhood theme on the vibraphone please

WOW ! -now: Bass Vibrafone !!!

Sugarplum Fairy was gorgeous, thanks!

When everything of this organ is finished, I expect Beethoven's Nines on it, at least "Ode to Joy"!

envelope to stepper motor converter? i really wanna hear it change speed with every hit.
EDIT:
and what bout the mute bar??

This is my favorite video by far I just love the sound of the vibes I’ve got to make it to your museum one of these days

Awesome!
This made me want to buy a glockenspiel myself and start soldering. But then I remembered I have no talent at all.

ooooo I'd like to hear it with the organ playing Davy Jones theme!!!

Could it be that your chorus is now a square wave instead of a sinus. It's weird but i think i hear the steps the motor is doing.

Wonderful work

Now you don't need a DX7 anymore. HELL it sounds so blooddamn good!

Have we seen his mum in front of a computer yet?

What's the latency like? It's amazing to me that you can go from midi to a mechanical movement, and it still be playable.

I was hoping you'd play Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairies when you were putting those all together and I wasn't disappointed! That vibraphone sounds so much better with the stepper as well.

Why are you not mentioning the unique alloy of the screws..

Absolutely love this!

This is crazy. Thank all the good in the world that you exist.

Fantastic tones!

Red and Black ❤ up the Cherries!

Surprised that all mallets seem to have the same travel time on all three instruments, or the differences are just too small to be noticed

Sounds nice and warm and tasty.

That’s kind of scary with all those Teletubbies up top

Bro please just use soft mallets with the little crochet tea cosy type covers. Or leftover furby skins. Whatever but it'd make it wayyyy nicer

You know what you’re doing dude. Bloody brilliant!

Oh how nice....

Cool, no idea why they didn't keep this together with the organ, seems like it was a great add-on

Very nice

All while Martin continues to subminimicrooptimize, making progress towards the revision of the proposal to build the worlds' best marble machine. Congratulations on the speed with which you add to this leviathan.

hey! is this sompthing like what was in the organ grinder restraunt? and also, how does this work? i wanna build one!

Is the timing difficult? I am just imagening like an old typewriter how they get jammed if you mash a bunch of keys at a time. Is there any similar problems hooking up modern tech to the old were that is an issue?

Saint Saens' Aquarium From Carnival Of The Animals would be nice :)

You're Mad, I tell you... Mad! And awesome. 🥰👍

genius !!!

Hell yeah

Merry Christmas!

Wow! What an accomplishment! I'll bet Anitra's Dance would sound amazing on that.😍

it would be really cool to have a web cam in that room, and the ability to play the mallet instruments remotely when the place is locked at night via the web. Haunted Museum?

One thing I'd change is to make it so that the duration of the note doesn't effect the time the mallet is held down as I think that's dampening the sound. A real player of these will quickly hit it and lift it up, the duration has no control besides for the bar on the vibes

My dad has converted a marching band type xylophone to midi using solenoids and homemade beaters , it duets with his home built fairground type organ very nicely , he then went on to add a bell ringer using hand bells and solenoids/ beaters , the midi converters you are using g look very similar , if not the same as he uses, he’s also added wireless midi transmission to reduce cabling between organs , he’s 82 !!

Straight outta Compton

Make drill music with this add a beat

Look dad, a computer

This is great 🥰😘😛

What a trip

That was rad!
