Congratulations! Looks awesome!!

Is this the model that you can add a programmable shaker motor to?
Pinsound shaker motor available yet?

From the list of features:
Shaker extension port *

*available soon

"Soon" must mean something different in French.

Congrats

Now please get going for SAM support!

Some of the new features are nice, but....

As someone that owns 6 pinsound boards, I can say with certainty that what will sell more Pinsound boards is content.

According to your website - a full 75% of the games that you support only have the original ROM content available. While it does sound a little better on the Pinsound board, it's not enough to justify spending $400 on.

Then you have 22% of the games with "Community Remixes" - these are extremely hit or miss (ie, I don't really want to replace TFTC music with random heavy metal tracks).

That leaves us with *3* games with "Enhanced" mixes - Funhouse, MM and TZ. *THESE* are the reason people will buy a board from you. Make many more of these and you'll sell many more boards. Even at a minimum, if you just went and cleaned up the noisy/compressed sounds/music/voices from many of the 90's games, you'd sell a ton of boards.

Great points, analogous to ColorDMD, as they fly off of the shelf everytime a new game gets converted. Yes, you can buy a ColorDMD to replace your standard DMD and get multiple single color functionality, but it really shines when the game is fully converted and enhanced to multicolor....

I agree with all your points. I just wanted to point out that endprodukt and wooly both made good mixes for Jurassic park and lotr respectively. I bought because I had those two games, and I wouldn't have if it weren't for those mixes.

I would like the control pots, and volume nobs on a remote board by coin door. Is that an aftermarket item? Or is there a remote control device?
I know it's another board and wires, but the ability to have full control remotely or wired without pulling backglass would be nice. Might as well make the usb port down on remote board to. On second thought, why not mount pinsound down at coin door. Just sell the wire harness!

The exact reason why I never purchased one. I suppose the issue they would run into is licensing?

I think that was the case initially, but I believe they worked out an agreement with Rick @ PPS.

"competitive price of less than 0.044 BTC."

What the f...k.......we can't list anything in actual money? Really? Price is listed on the site, why on earth the thing about bitcoin lol..

I guess this week it's 370 bucks, next week, it's going to be 900?

This is a fantastic idea! Guess it's time for PinSound ++

Quick research. It's the ribbon cable... need really long ones from head to coin door. Humm. I think I know that guy! Now i just mount to vertical board just inside coin door. Now I have full control when I want it, much faster and cleaner without bumping my backglasses and translites placing on other machines. Just clumsy.

Is the PinSound Stereo 2.1 harness still needed for STTNG with the plus?

$10 USB cable and $10 headphone cable and my USB port and headphone jack are at the coin door. Once initial setup is done you shouldn't need to tweak the on-board knobs much, I use the stock volume pot at the coin door for volume adjustments.

This board looks like it has a cat5 jack for a connection to the "Headphones Station" which I can only assume is a volume knob/headphone jack plate you can mount on the front of the machine. Wonder if that costs extra.

RCA outputs are neat if want to hook it up to your home theater system or something.

The original boards support a shaker correct? It's just not implemented in the software?

PinStudio update to 1.0 coming soon?

Why isn't the Indiana Jones remix on there?

What is the difference between the old board and the new?

Licensing

And same price! The best feature on that list is the faster boot.

AMAZING!

Any chance of supporting the CGC remakes? I'd buy today for headphone support on MMr, there doeant seem to be any solution there.

Are these relaly effin' necessary? I mean, can we save $50 by not having them? How many people play with the backbox open to admire them? And now, admire them *with color*!

This is always the problem when trying to release an updated version of a product that is already nearly perfect! Nice to see the product evolving, regardless. Congrats!

You misunderstand, I think the update is great (PLEASE RELEASE THE SHAKER ADAPTER), I just meant that the faster boot is critically important to the board. If it can be fast enough to boot as soon as the game is ready, they will have achieved a perfect replacement. I do think they should have considered moving to an SDcard data source instead of USB, USB can be very slow and the board needs to scan hundreds of files
Very quickly. Anyway, still kicking ass in my games!

Will there be a solution for SAM Games in the Future?

Has anyone installed the MM Enhanced sound packet BTW? I tried it with Pinsound and the song during the trolls remained looping in the background - it was annoying as hell and I had to remove the Pinsound altogether. I would like to hear if its working for someone and did they do something to the enhanced sounds to get it working? PM works too.

I hope they redid TAFG sound card!The one out now IS better than stock,But,its in bad need of tuning! Some callouts come on top of another,2 at a time,gets sounding amateurish! IMHO!!!

huh, I actually like that, because you know what you’re hitting. Or maybe you’re referring to another phenomenon?

Any discount on the old boards?

If anyone is considering a Pinsound board and wants one sooner than later, PM me. I have one coming on Saturday or Monday. Something came up and I need to get money back. I can ship immediately if you want one next week. Let me know if anyone is interested otherwise I'll probably start an ad when I get it. It will be brand new, untouched. Thanks.

I have 4 pinsound boards for TAF, DW, STTNG and TZ, including upgraded Pinsound stereo speakers and wiring. My main reason for installing in these machines was the number and variety of great soundtracks on the pinsound community forum e.g. STTNG is incredible. My main reason for not buying more is- NO soundtracks (beyond original).

If anything, the last year has seen a reduction in soundtracks e.g. the funky 70s Doctor Who soundtrack is gone. Presumably C&D letters. If nothing is done to improve the software AS WELL AS the awesome hardware, then Pinsound will die IMO, and none of us want to see that!

Nope, not that I've been able to find, and I've seen several requests here for one.

Hey PinSound will you be at TPF? I'm bringing my PinSound card for @tctx02's Getaway machine which will be in free play.

PinSound
It would be great to read a statement on content from your side. Features are nice, BUT, as you can see in this thread, NOT the main concern of your customers.

My personal take is: you might be over engineering the product at expense of something much more important.

I just installed the new board along with a 12" Menace subwoofer on a Batman Data East last night. Mind blown! The sound quality is outstanding, giving you a true cinema-like experience. I had to play the machine for a couple of hours after installing just to let the new experience sink in.

The new board can take a table which has an OK sound mix and elevate it to a completely different level (by a factor of 10x - I'm really not exaggerating here guys). The on-board eq makes sound tweaks simple and customization easy.

Nicolas and Timothee you have an amazing product! The quality is beyond compare.

Also, huge shout out to Baptiste Serais! You have to check out the mix he created for Batman to see what's possible with the new board. The time, effort, and love really show through. Be sure to check his youtube channel out.

IMHO the first Batman '91 Data East table, with the Pinsound board and Baptiste's mix, is now the table to beat (of the available Batman tables).

I'm now on the lookout for other machines which the new board supports and also ready to jump into engineering some custom sound mixes.

Cheers!

Welcome to the club, djmoab!

Im sure it’s licensing/copyright issues. They’ve only released one official soundtrack (funhouse) and i think they said it was all re-recorded.

I’ve had a blast creating the mixes for my Lethal Weapon 3 and I know I probably can’t post them due to copyright/licensing issues. If you want a plug n play sound set with a bunch of material they dont have the rights to use you’ve just got to create it yourself. I guess that’s the reality of this hobby. I still don’t understand how CPR gets the rights to a plastics set and then does a limited amount of runs. Anyway, back on topic.

The original mixes already sound better due to the quality of the card and amps. I (and my wife) love the headphone jack and I’m eager to see what they incorporate into the new headphone station.

It’s a great replacement if you want better quality and it’s also a tinkerers dream.

Here’s my Total Lethal Nuclear Weapon Annihilaton. Needs a bit of work but I hope TheNoTrashCougar would approve. I did buy the soundtrack directly from him.

Question. On a Wpc 95 game, what part of the original sound board is still used. Just the dmd driver section? Or sound and dmd on original? Trying to figure out if the Pinsound board would work with a Wpc 95 game I'm having a sound issue with.

If you're adding a pinsound to a WPC95 game, it's a really good idea to add a standard DMD board (as in from a WPC89/DCS game - rottendog or originals both fine). This future-proofs your game since the WPC95 A/V board does not have replacements available

The dmd side of the AV board works fine. Just a sound issue. So that was my question, will the Pinsound boards still work in a Wpc 95 game with existing sound issues on the original AV board

You have to try it out. It -should- but if it doesn’t, just pull the A/V board and get the dmd board, bob’s your uncle.

Is the enhanced TZ sound package the same as Chris Granner's mix used own the original board, or was this something specifically created for use with the Plus version? Just a bit confused.

Not sure which mix is the 'enhanced' mix ( did you see that term used somewhere?) but Granner's DCS mix is available for use with both boards. There are several other mixes available as well. The available Granner mix is all the original stuff Granner had done which was finished. There are a couple music tracks that were pulled from the music as-released because they weren't done on the DCS mix
