Kind of a trend, the amount of youtubers who i had loved but their content became generic after gaining popularity is quite a bit, most drastic one being mrwhosetheboss, his uniqueness went down faster than MH27 MH17

Yup, one lf the most painful un subscribing I did. He forgot he was making an art instrument and got lost into engineering nonsense that he doesn’t even understand. Under every videos there are people screaming that he is making assumptions that won’t work in the real world and others that are just sad because the magic is gone.
Abandoning the MMX felt like being scammed by a shady Indigogo (can’t imagine how it felt for the patreons) after so much progress and many years of anticipation.
I still check his videos every few months and just randomly watch a few seconds of the videos, his new plans are ridiculous and uninspiring :/.
Yeah, pretty much this. Would have been best had he never bothered with 3d printed and manufactured parts as they allow a level of control (or illusion thereof) that would have never been possible with wood. Who cares if you’re losing a couple of marbles during a show (no pun intended), or if the snare drum isn’t tight to the thousandth of a second?
The MMX is not completely abandoned btw, the guys at Musikkabinett are bringing it up to a classmate state

Sure, Martin is not involved, but the machine is the same and the spirit is similar too.
The MMX was doomed and not possible to save. It is exactly what it looks like: A cool looking contraption that can make some nice sounds using marbles, but it’s not an instrument you can use reliably in a band. You think it was hard for you to unsubscribe; how hard don’t you think it was for Martin to abandon the MMX? He wished it to succeed more than any of us, and probably abandoned it way too late because of it.
