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.

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.
@@valovanonym Yeah, I'm saying if it worked like the balls actually triggered the sound (and they hit properly) it would sound just as pre-recorded as what this is, which is an audio recording with sync'ed lights
It's amazing how much talent and smarts went into making this machine and the audience gives it a, "NICE!" and a "WOO!" If I were there I'd be flipping my shit.
+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.
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.
ya... I was expecting a HUGE "YAAAAA LETS GO!!!! THAT WAS AWESOME!!! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!
WOW. I remember watching an Animusic DVD in my 2nd grade music class, and pipe dream was ALWAYS my favorite. It's really cool that a huge company like intel could take notice and use it to show off their chops!
Always used to love Resonant Chamber, found it on TH-cam after i got recommended the Marble Machine by Wintergatan, and then Pipe Dream, so on, i fell into the deep Rabbit Hole. I rediscovered it in 6th or 7th grade again, and i just love it. I always used to try making "remixes" of Resonant Chamber - since it was my favourite - but hardly failed, i did it on GarageBand, lol. I just hope that Animusic 3 will come out, and if not, i am gonna make it, haha.
I don’t think it’s that incredible if it’s a visualized synchronization. if the impact of the balls was actually the thing making the sound, then it would’ve been impressive.
@@a2pha lol you obviously have no idea what’s possible with computers and robotics especially when talented people who have a grasp of physics are involved. It would literally be more of a pain in the ass to fake this than it would be to just actually do it. If you knew anything about anything you would see how obvious this is - but since you don’t I imagine lots of things seem fake to you. What a stupid ass way to live.
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.
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). :-)
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.
@@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
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.
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!
A neater system could still be derived; there's a channel on TH-cam 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
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.
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
I never EVER thought that this could potentially exist in real life. Intel had the budget and technical ability to bring this to life. I love the animation, but this is a whole new level!
My Google Rewards app asked me if I'd seen any part of this video, I said I hadn't, but being a Animusic fan I decided to check this out. Did not disappoint.
I'm noticing a lot of the time the marbles don't actually hit when the note plays and thats when I realized it's not actually buttons controlling it, it's just a semi-synchronized marble launching to the pre-set program :::/
Wow how did I not know about this!! I've been obsessed with the animated version for years and I had no idea they'd gone ahead and actually made it real!! I'm losing my mind over here!!!!
The instruments aren't real; at best there are sensors that generate electronic sounds. Look up "Wintergatan" on TH-cam. He's building the REAL thing -- real steel marbles playing real acoustic instruments, AND the marbles get caught and recycled.
If the only true flaw with this machine is that it can't catch and reuse every ball it launches, which is a perfectly natural flaw with even the most precise projectile launching systems due to simple physics, then this really is an uncontested masterpiece of engineering.
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.
Animusic has always lived in a sort of uncanny valley for me - I find the idea of music being played by nobody for nobody deeply unsettling. This solves that for me, and now I can properly appreciate the music itself. Thank you for that.
I actually attended that NI week in Austin TX where it was shown. It was very impressive in real life. It took 6 interns to gather the balls for a reset to play again. It only demoed 5 time a day.
Was there better applause to the performance during the other demos? T he video cut the reaction on this one a bit, but it seemed like the crowd barely noticed. :/
This is incredible aside from the marbles flying off this is so amazing it’s like a cartoon came to life this is beautiful Both the animation and real deal have done an amazing job Scratch that the creator of this and his helpers did an amazing job
This just popped into my feed - 12 years later! As of the audience’s reaction after the performance? Damn! Seriously, not a round of applause? Just a “woo!”, and “nice!”? 🙄🤦🏻♀️
its what they did you can see on some of the actual light up effects there is a 1 second delay after the ball hits showing that they already had the lights and sounds pre recorded and the balls were just for show
Quite! Im amazed at how accurate it could be, and with how far technology is advancing a few tweaks could make this into a working drum machine in essence.
thats the most fucking badassery vision brought to life i have seen in a LONG Time, with the Animusic craze making a sudden revamped reboot in people's minds. Hands down i wish i would have seen this in person. as a owner of both DVD's.
If you wonder why the crowd is unimpressed: They can see it is just an illusion. The instruments are not real. They are just plastic that lights up to the beat. They are not even triggered by the marbles hitting! You could remove all marbles and it would still play. It's a tech demo for an industrial controller and not a concert.
Computer graphics synced to MIDI tracts is never going to be the same as real time physical machinery. Kudos to Intel for their valiant attempt. Too bad the somber crowd didn't take much notice. Perhaps they never heard Animusic. 🤷♀️
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.
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 :)
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.
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).
my question then is to what extent is this being "performed"? Obviously it's all MIDI because those little balls don't have the energy to excite a string or a drum head. But is the triggering happening based on the balls? Or are the balls just timed and positioned close enough to the lights to make it look like it's being physically triggered? It's impressive either way
that is actually really awesome, the fact they brought this whole set up into real life is actually pretty impressive, though, I had no doubt intel would be up for the challange and they pulled it off beautifully.
12 years since this! I know I'm amused, to say the least. I suppose it lacks the wow factor, because the instruments are artificial. And I imagine that real instruments are too inconsistent for this to be 100% accurate. Still, I appreciate the time and effort put into this! Kudos to Intel! I like their software!
This is so cool 🤩 I watched Animusic a lot when I was younger and I would have been so excited to see this in person 🙂 Thanks for sharing this video 👍 God bless ❤️🙏
OMG, IT'S REAL!!!! :D :D :D I love Animusic so much, and the make believe machines that play the music were so cool looking. I had always wished someone somewhere would try constructing functioning machines like this, so, this is totally awesome!!!!! :D
Imagine a long vertical or near-vertical tube, at the bottom of which is a 180 degree curve like a J. At the short end of the J is a rotating "nozzle." Balls are dropped down the long end of the J to gather speed for the fall, and are ramped upward. The rotating nozzle directs the balls. A wheel-like device at the top would feed the balls from a hopper into the tube. None of the loud solenoids or reciprocating parts, and you can scale it as big as needed. It could throw bowling balls.
Automated song into reality means exact time and exact placement. Over all great vid . It came close it came be done better than the automated CGI musical instruments.
Wooooow increíble nunca pensé que fuera posible construir una máquina así de compleja y que funcione correctamente sin fallar ni una sola vez en la vida real, sin duda hicieron muy buen trabajo al realizar esta proeza.

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

If you watch closely, some of the balls miss the spinning rack but still produce a sound. I can only assume the visual and sound were totally separate
Quite! Im amazed at how accurate it could be, and with how far technology is advancing a few tweaks could make this into a working drum machine in essence.
thats the most fucking badassery vision brought to life i have seen in a LONG Time, with the Animusic craze making a sudden revamped reboot in people's minds.
Hands down i wish i would have seen this in person. as a owner of both DVD's.
Something that only aired occasionally for a short time on late Saturday nights on PBS has come far.
If you wonder why the crowd is unimpressed: They can see it is just an illusion. The instruments are not real. They are just plastic that lights up to the beat. They are not even triggered by the marbles hitting! You could remove all marbles and it would still play. It's a tech demo for an industrial controller and not a concert.
Computer graphics synced to MIDI tracts is never going to be the same as real time physical machinery. Kudos to Intel for their valiant attempt. Too bad the somber crowd didn't take much notice. Perhaps they never heard Animusic. 🤷♀️
11years ago and still one of the coolest music machine concepts ive ever seen.
it's 2022 and this is STILL amazing.
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.
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 :)
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.
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).
The video was made 11 years ago and it's still good
You are NOT an anti furry, you are a minor, go do your homework
I'm seeing a few balls go astray every now and then while remaining transfixed by this spectacle. This is jaw-dropping!!
And WHY aren't these people applauding this!?
my question then is to what extent is this being "performed"?
Obviously it's all MIDI because those little balls don't have the energy to excite a string or a drum head. But is the triggering happening based on the balls?
Or are the balls just timed and positioned close enough to the lights to make it look like it's being physically triggered?
It's impressive either way
For 2011, this thing is not even close to being of that time, it is on time with the beat perfectly i am glad.
Wow. For a large chunk of my adult life, I have been wishing that Animusic was actually real. This blows me away!
This needs more view's! It's actual talent!
that is actually really awesome, the fact they brought this whole set up into real life is actually pretty impressive, though, I had no doubt intel would be up for the challange and they pulled it off beautifully.
Hats off to Intel... Awsome Engineering... Just Fabulous
I always dreamed that this could be done in real life. And to my surprise I was right, it could be done!
not really, there are a lot of things that they just couldnt implement, but tis still cool. And there were about 3 misfires at the beginning
10 years later: Intel's still leading. Well done, m8s
Simply amazing!!!! I thought it's not going to work.
it is simply impossible but it worked! Intel, you have a great wow from me
Nothing like a little reimagined nostalgia!
For 10 years and in 2022 still sound nice.😊
I love Animusic and I love LabView. Would love to see the code for this. Well done.
It blows my mind that not one spectator is cracking a smile
And this was 6 years ago. Imagine what could be done now.
Kudos. I love the original Animusic piece, but this, in it's own right, is super impressive. 👍
FANTASTIC!, what on earth is wrong with the audience
Probably tired after working endlessly to make this thing...
This is so fucking incredible. It’s not perfect, but it’s still amazing even today
It was only a matter of time before somebody did it in real life. It's just amazing.
12 years since this! I know I'm amused, to say the least. I suppose it lacks the wow factor, because the instruments are artificial. And I imagine that real instruments are too inconsistent for this to be 100% accurate. Still, I appreciate the time and effort put into this! Kudos to Intel! I like their software!
I liked the enthusiasm of the spectators at the end.
holy fuck I used to watch this back when I was a kid! This is amazing :D
This is cool on a really high level! Nicely done!
Oh my god this is amazing how did I not know of this until now?!
This is so cool 🤩 I watched Animusic a lot when I was younger and I would have been so excited to see this in person 🙂 Thanks for sharing this video 👍 God bless ❤️🙏
Back to see this again after so many years.
They deserved way better recording cameras anyway.
The fact this was taken 11 years ago is just something else, makes me wonder what they could do now
Damn it- I was excited
Its funny, when i was young i thought animusic was real. Now it is
back in the day, we thought that this was not physically possible an intel basicly said fuck that
Nice! They should have made a Tom Servo head feeding out those xylophone balls. :)
now try to make aquatic harp real live :P
yea nemos ass can get a job...
wot. i was talking about the animation by animusic, not finding nemo
yea its a joke cus all those fish look so hard at work...
Lucifag i would rather like to see stick figures
Skip to 1:20 for the song
OMG, IT'S REAL!!!! :D :D :D I love Animusic so much, and the make believe machines that play the music were so cool looking. I had always wished someone somewhere would try constructing functioning machines like this, so, this is totally awesome!!!!! :D
***** Yeah! :D
That audience is full of tech experts and just like me, they were all thinking "It could be a tad bit better."
9 years ago. WOW how much innovation has passed
Imagine a long vertical or near-vertical tube, at the bottom of which is a 180 degree curve like a J. At the short end of the J is a rotating "nozzle." Balls are dropped down the long end of the J to gather speed for the fall, and are ramped upward. The rotating nozzle directs the balls. A wheel-like device at the top would feed the balls from a hopper into the tube. None of the loud solenoids or reciprocating parts, and you can scale it as big as needed. It could throw bowling balls.
Wow a real Pipe Dream. I bought the Animusic DVD probably 16/17 yrs ago.
I can't believe they made this in real life dude that's awesome
Automated song into reality means exact time and exact placement. Over all great vid . It came close it came be done better than the automated CGI musical instruments.
Wooooow increíble nunca pensé que fuera posible construir una máquina así de compleja y que funcione correctamente sin fallar ni una sola vez en la vida real, sin duda hicieron muy buen trabajo al realizar esta proeza.
No funciona correctamente. La música está pregrabada.
@@hvcomputech Sí, tienes razón, al volver ver el video noté cierta inconsistencia entre el movimiento que hace la máquina con la música.
even after 11 years i still love this
That's Amazing! ❤👍
someone call Martin Molin and get him to play this on the Marble Machine X when it's done, that'll be a true test of how far tech has come, even if his configuration isn't gonna be the same
Awesome! The people really should respond more enthusiastic, this is just... amazing!!
all i can hear is the machine making popping noise and midi sound but AWESOME INTEL WELL DONE
