Just ordered one today it says 7 day delay hoping it ships by Ohio pinball show I have a chromed restored funhouse I would like to run the board in for the show but don't know if I will have it by then any guesses ?

Well mine just arrived for my Tommy. Nice quick shipping even to this end of the world. Now I have a major incentive to get the restore finished and get the thing back together!

At the risk of sounding insensitive to global economies: any chance that the price will be updated again to reflect the latest changes in relative currency values?

Ordered on Wednesday and cannot wait to upgrade Tommy!! I think this will make for a drastic improvement. I will post a video as soon as I have it up and running.

Just installed mine in my Judge Dredd! It's currently going through it's first time boot/audio conversion, so I can't give any thoughts on it yet, but I am going to load up 3 different sound packs for it: the original one and the Metallica one, which are both up on the Pinsound forums, and one I've been working on myself.

Cool, have fun. People really need to start replacing sfx and voice, too. Do you have that possibility?

Eventually, yes. I'm not sure what I would replace as far as voice goes, unless I was to record some new stuff or pull some sound bites from Dredd. The SFX I could probably find some good stuff.

Voice is always a problem, yes. Replacing sfx is a lot of fun though.

Voice wouldn't be that difficult, just costly. There are plenty of voice actors online that will take jobs. The downside is that you would need to have them record ALL of the voices - otherwise the difference (between 'new' and 'original') would be greatly noticed.

Very exciting...I received my Pinsound board yesterday, and have installed it in my T2 with Endrprodukt's re-engineered sound package.
It sounds great, but I was wondering about attract mode...it doesn't seem to play music and attract sounds? Am I doing something wrong?

While I love the pinsound product, the Episode 1 music on this pin is blasphemy.

Sorry beelzeboob, I was referencing indigocc's youtube video.

Data East Star Wars should never play Episode 1's music (nor 2 or 3 for that matter) but clearly you can hear the battle with Darth Maul being played.
Thats like putting the Star Trek music on a Star Wars pin.

Update: the board does play the attract mode sounds...just have to let it run for a bit.
The re-orchestrated soundtrack also has some funny sound effect when walking through the game tests and modifications.
I'm sold on Pinsound...time to buy a few more for my IJ, WH20 and JD.

Sorry i didn't want to hurt anyone (this is my mix)
Just replace the \music\ 000006-SHOOTER_THEME file and it's over.

Awesome product, can't wait to get a HS2 and change the ZZTOP music. The midi version is the real blasphemy.

Also kind of curious what people prefer on Rollergames. The original soundtrack the machine came with or the soundtrack from the TV show? Since Rollergames is on the list of supported games the original soundtrack could be replaced.

First one to mention the menu sounds. I was wondering what it would sound like if Arnold would do the menu sounds... Haha.

"Enter". "Up" "Up" "Up" "ESCAPE!!!" "GET DOWN!" "GET DOWN!" "GET DO-" "Enter."

And on newer games, where you have the count-down sound to wait or hit the start button, it can be a random - "Hurry Up!" "Go!" "Push It!", and then the saved would be "OK."

That would make me laugh too hard. I'd look for excuses to play around in the menus..

Finally got around to installing mine in my GNR and... now for the troubleshooting. Every time the flippers fire, the sound cuts out. In the example below (using julien42's mix as-is, just to get it up and tested), it stays out entirely for as long as I hold the flippers. In-game, sometimes it does the same, the rest of the time it drops out for a fraction of a second and then comes back on.

I initially thought my ribbon cable might've been plugged into the wrong spot; in indigocc's pics of his install in a DESW his ribbon cable is in the bottom-most connector, while my instructions showed that it was to be in the spot above that. But it looks like the positions of those connectors is different between the 1.2 and 1.3 boards, so that's not it.

I have a Flipper Fidelity speaker package installed, which has the extra volume pot in the backbox - maybe that's where I should start? Take that out of the loop so I've got a 'stock' speaker setup to start with?

I'd contact Pinsound. Never heard of anyone having that problem.

I had nearly the same trouble with my tommy. (problem solved)

The problem might be a low 12V for the sound board, when holding the flipper (9V, same power line)
First, you will have to check your voltage on your power board.

While waiting the pinsound's team answer, maybe you could try this :
cut the bass boost on the pinsound, and put the bass volume close to 0. (it could use less power)

I concur with low 12v. In fact, if you have a rotten dog power board that will have reversed the regulated and unregulated 12v causing low voltage for the 12v.

As other rightly pointed out: you must have a very low 12V.
Check the 12V with a DMM.
Check for any burnt/oxidized connectors.

Thanks. Power board is a new X-Pin. At the test points on the board (everything still connected and machine running in attract mode), I get:

10.5 for +12V
5.1 for +5
-13.3 for -12V

At the connector on the PinSound board I get the same 10.5 reading for +12V, so the cabling between the two appears good, but can I assume that the 10.5 is just too low to begin with, and I've got a problem w/ the X-Pin board?

10.5V is the minimum supply voltage for the +12V on the PinSound board.
Can you check how low is the 12V when you hold the flip?

I don’t think there is something wrong with your XPin power supply board. I think it's more a main voltage issue: can you check your main?

Actually, 10.5v is just way too low even if the pinsound board can run with it. The unregulated 12v should generally be higher. And if you're at 10.5 under no load, it'll probably drop further with load. I'm not sure we can rule out the xpin board. I haven't seen one to play with. But the rotten dog problem I discovered has been in those boards for several years and they generally work ok that way - until you try to do something like upgrade the sound and really pull some power through it. Let me look at the other pins to measure so we can see what your power is like off that xpin.

Just hooked up my Pinsound in my IJ with Endprodukt's .95 sounds and it is awesome. My backbox speakers (Pinball Pro) sound great but I am not getting any sound/bass out of my subwoofer. I bought the 2.1 cable and hooked the center cables directly into my external subwoofer and nothing. Not sure if it the mix or something up with my Pinsound... suggestions?

It's not the mix. I have plenty of lowend. Did you check the cabinet volume pot on the pinside board?

About the wiring, we just updated the manual section about the wiring of the stereo 2.1 kit:
http://www.pinsound.org/mono-to-stereo-2-1-re-wiring-wpc-only/

Note if you have a filter on your cabinet speaker, you should remove it (or by pass it)

My wiring is correct. My cabinet pots are all in the center. I turned them and my DMD went out and the idol solenoid fires repeatedly. Turned the game off and let it sit for about an hour, turned it back on and the game functions fine but still no center channel output to my external sub or the sub in the cabinet.

OK this time waiting an hour didn't work. Solenoids keep firing, I disconnected everything going to the Pinsound board and the solenoids are still firing. My ColorDMD isn't turning on but a regular DMD does turn on. My ColorDMD works in my STTNG so I know that is OK. Not sure what to try next.

Yeah, blasphemy! DESW is definitely one of the pins ripe for a new Pinsound audio set using the original film score and better speech samples - I love the pin but the music is pretty cheesy and some of the quotes could be a bit more... authentic!

I don't have the feeling you exactly know what you're doing (turning the wires and waiting an hour) so please stop experimenting. Pretty sure something is wrong with your machine. Check your fuses first. I guess the 12v fuse went over board. It could explain why the dmd is not working and why the solenoid fires in the idol (optos not working, machine is looking for balls in the game)

or 12v isn't getting enough power. Which means a bridge rectifier is going bad or a cap isn't working right. only testing the power supply will let you know for sure if the fuse isnt blown.

Installed mine on IJ. Awesome. Finish that version .95!

I'm on it. You can help with testing. If something is wrong with 0.95 that's totally off, let me know. There isn't much left actually.

I just got mine today. I haven't had a chance to install, but am working on a STTNG/ST25th projects

Yay.

Other than delays in timing, and extreme voice 'ducking' occassionally, it's good. I reloaded three different ij versions tonight onto board. Will report back anything funky.

I have cut all the gun sounds now to the transient (attack of the sounds). Any delay that occurs is either a delay in the cpu call or the pinsound board (don't know if it could actually produce unwanted delay)

You can also play around with the ducking settings in the Config.ini if you don't like my settings. They work pretty well for me.

Will do. Delay was the thumb drive I was using. Windows had a security file stuck on it. Cleaned it up. Working better.

To alter ducking settings in confit.ini, how to do that?

Looks like my 12v went up on my power board, just happened to be when I installed the Pinsound board. LED 7 is off and TP1 doesn't give me a reading. I replaced the fuses and no difference. I had a spare Rottendog board sitting around so I swapped that in and everything works fine.

I didn't notice delays in my sounds but I did have a hard time hearing some voice callouts specifically Marion's and some of Shortround's when you collect them. I haven't read up on the gain.txt but I am guessing it can be fixed by adding one to the folder.

Same here. Marion and short round were whisper quiet.

Please guys, don't mess around with gain.txt files! Let me know what version you are using and if you're using my config.ini that I provided with 0.95! In the config.ini you'll find a parameter called "ducking_voice = 65". The 65 means, that that music will duck by 35% when a voice file is played.

Since I'm using multisamples for some stuff (like you collect Marion), it's possible one file is totaly fine with the loudness and one is a little too loud or too quiet with the same setting.

This is a lot of tweaking work and it's going much faster with support instead of people changing it at home without telling me so I can do it for everyone

I am using your 0.95 and your config.ini. Any settings or tweaks to improve the sound experience would be shared with you to share with anyone.

Thanks

So I allready updated Marion and Shorty, I don't get why they're to quiet at your end though. Testing it in a few minutes and let you know
