@@onion8761 wish i could try to mess with plugins like that, would honestly be fun to mess around with the limited instruments of different animusic songs and trying to make new songs or song covers with them
I love how the drums have worn-out spots. You know this machine has been used so often and well-loved, even if it's not an actual machine. It adds a touch of hidden lore.
The tubular bells and mallets also have wear spots! I swear, the designers put SO much effort into making these virtual instruments seem real, and i’d say they damn well achieved that!
I suppose to come up with headcanon on the machine: It's an eccentric engineer's favorite toy, either something he keeps in some building with similar machines or something like a museum art piece (it gives me OMSI-vibes). Whenever he had guests or whatever he turns it on, and the machine has started to show it's age over the years.
As a percussionist I can say that Animusic was once my biggest obsession. Also my favorite instrument is the gong and whenever that appeared in a song I went crazy.
Same, as a music lover with A.D.H.D. who took choir, orchestra, and musical threatre in jr high and highschool, Animusic is oddly satisfying! (I consider it a genre, I have seen animations of older christmas songs doing it too, but with the singers as well as the instruments, and I love it!
I just noticed some things... It's more worn out than first pipe dream. You can see how aged the walls and some of the instruments compared to first. The green light is also less bright, but it gives out more dramatic highlight for each instruments. It also gives the color more pop to it. I don't know if this is a side effect for remastering or the uploader just tweak some settings for tonemapping the video.
don't let anyone tell you otherwise, this is absolutely mind blowing! you made my childhood dreams come true by making this additional animusic content. and the music is fantastic
Agree. The first one sounds does not really have a sequence in the song, while the second one (this one) has a more practical sequence. However, both are good nonetheless.
The craziest part about Pipe Dreams, even the first one? The texturing! The PBR, especially on the vibraphone or whatever it's supposed to be, looks so ahead of its time!
Oooooh that intro... Can't help myself listening it over and over! Such build up... Such intensity ❤ And than bang... On 1 minute that xylophone... I love that melody 🎶 🤩
I want someone to make a miscalculated version of this where the ball bearings either shoot too far or too short so all you hear is them hitting the floor, walls or the sides of the instruments, call it Pipe Dream Cursed.

theoretically possible, you'd have to make it read a raw MIDI file for it to be any good, and there'd be a lot more instruments to account for. for example, one that'd be hard to fit the ascetic is the "gunshot" midi instrument, commonly used by doom tracks edit: if you combine the room that future retro takes place in with this one, it'd be a lot easier, though you'd have to modify it to make it ball powered now
So this is why the original was recommended to me earlier. A 14yr old vid was recommended out of nowhere and after a few vids this came up. YT algorithm is weird.
Well, there was that one Intel demo they did Intel real life Pipe Dream instruments - Animusic - RU-vid m.ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-8Z5Z5zo1Rc4.html
I guess Intel kind of answered your question: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-3FX5IfR4KfU.html although, they don't catch the balls like in the original.
