ADDAC System ADDAC503 Marble Physics 2011 - Black

Newtonian physics on a modular synth! The ADDAC503 Marble Physics is a CV generator based on the mechanics behavior of a marble on a tray.

Through this realtime physics simulator you'll be able to control several parameters that will affect the behavior of a model of a spherical object against a plane. You can tilt the plane or bump the marble with a certain strength, which will cause it to roll and bounce on elastic walls.

The model will output the object's XY position or velocity and you can control other physical parameters, like the walls' elasticity or the strength of a bump. When the marble hits walls the bounce output triggers and you can additionally lock the X axis for a one dimension simulation. Finally you can also set the overall speed of the simulation.

By controlling all of these properties you be able simulate several scenarios where the marble falls, gets gently pulled by gravity, orbits indefinitely or bounces on walls like a pinball. Truly engaging physics simulations!

LEAD TIME - IMPORTANT NOTE:
Although this is also described in our Shop Policy page, it is worth stressing that, by virtue of being a small team and not outsourcing a great part of our production, long story short, we sort of make your order on demand.
After you place an order, it takes 15 business-days to be ready to ship.
This is why you'll see this module as 'in stock', but this in fact means that we do have all its parts and can produce your module. Thanks for understanding, and for choosing us!
