I have PinSound shakers in both my Getaway and my Jurassic Park. When I first got into pinball I played at a neighbor's and he had a shaker in one of his pins. After playing, I thought to myself that I'd never want a game with a shaker in it. Now that I have shakers in each of my three games, I vow to never own a game that doesn't have a shaker in it.

PinSound shakers are simple to install with a PinSound board, and are incredibly simple to program if a "shakerization" doesn't yet exist for a particular title. I've done several shaker routines both for games I own and as commissioned projects from other Pinsiders.

So, while I can't speak to Funhouse specifically, I say 100% go for it. BTW, if you don't know how the PinSound shakers work, you can assign a shaker event to any sound file (SFX, Music, Voice, etc.) which makes it very flexible. Also, there are 9 different preconfigured shaker events plus you can have 3 custom ones in a given shaker routine. Basically, each event has a starting intensity, a duration, and an ending intensity. So, you can do quick medium shakes, long stronger shakes, shakes that ramp up in intensity, shakes that ramp down in intensity, and so on.

Thanks for the complements. I would say it takes a lot of thought and a multitude of hours to develop a nice PinSound orchestration. However, to make a shaker routine it literally can be done in 10 minutes or less (the PinSound Studio Pro software is well designed for this). However, you will find yourself making tweaks, changes, etc. Play a little, change a little. I would say the total time investment to make a very good PinSound shaker routine is probably 2-3 hours, and much of that is just the back and forth from your computer and pin as you notice changes you want to make during test games. Also, I highly recommend taking advantage of the 3 available custom shaker events. I've used them in a variety of applications for my games. For Getaway, I created a custom engine rev event where the shaker ramps up to 100% over a period of time. I also did the reverse to go with a hard braking sound event.
