ADDAC503 Marble Physics

ADDAC System

A CV generator based on Newtonian physics simulation of a marble rolling and bouncing inside a tiltable tray, outputting the marble's XY position, velocity, and a bounce gate.1145

Capabilities 2

CV Generatorcv-generator
Outputs XY position, velocity, and a bounce gate derived from a real-time Newtonian physics simulation of a marble in a tiltable tray.1145
Physics Simulationphysics-simulation
Simulates a marble rolling and bouncing in a 2D tray whose tilt, wall elasticity, and simulation speed are all voltage-controllable.1145

Parameters 7

NameTypeRangeBehavior
BUMPbuttonApplies an instantaneous impulse to the marble, sending it into motion or redirecting it; the magnitude of the push is set by the BUMP STRENGTH control.1145
BUMP STRENGTHmenu_settingSets the magnitude of the impulse applied when the BUMP button is pressed.1145
ELASTICITYmenu_setting1145
SIMULATION SPEEDmenu_settingSets the overall rate at which the physics simulation runs; faster speeds produce quicker position and velocity changes.1145
X AXIS LOCKswitchLocks marble motion to the X axis only, reducing the 2D simulation to one dimension.1145
X TILTmenu_setting1145
