GBC Ball divider, the right way

The upcoming GBC 53 Marble Music Machine will be able to play 8 notes in any order you like by using physical programming pins on the programming wheel.
Getting the GBC Balls to the top is not the hardest part. But how to divide them evenly over the 8 notes that needs to be played? We tried different solution and we stuck with the software driven option as this would be the most flexible over times when users program their own songs.

In the video you will see that the dividing arm stops every second. This allows the using to fill the most important notes to be filled up first. Of course you can change all this behaviour in the software. We will carefully explain how in the building instructions.
