Anyone working on TSPP ? If any game needs sound improvement it is that one.
It will be an instant buy for simpsons.

I've got the exact same issue, not every game but it happens enough.

Great, maybe it is a defect with the card?

I think this is fixed with a firmware update

It's been fixed, update your board with the latest firmware here:

Here is a video of the low music volume issue after the music fades out between games. Any ideas? I tried another orchestration, and the exact same issue occurred so I think it is a board issue. Thanks.

Update. Your. Firmware.

Thank you for mentioning! I’ve been having issues with the board in my DE Batman ever since I installed it last summer so I am hoping this will fix it. All is great until you hit the jackpot shot in multi-ball...then when you make the shot, the sound shuts off completely and the only way to get sound again is to shut off the machine and reboot. I even bought the additional wire harness a couple months back, thinking that maybe it was a ground issue but it still did the same thing. It’s like once you hit the jackpot and the machine starts going bananas the sound board gets confused and decides to go nighty-nite.

The board was just purchased about a month ago. I would think it would have the most updated firmware, no? The last update appears to be from Dec 2018. Thanks.

You can look on your PinSound USB drive and their will be a text file in the root directly (forget exactly what it is called), if you open that it will show the boot sequence info and the firmware version installed.

Regardless, I would just update it from a fresh download.

nope. try the update -

If the firmware is up to date, will the Pinsound card say anything? I installed a blank USB with the latest firmware file, and the only thing the Pinsound card kept saying was that there was no sound files on the USB. Not sure if that is normal if the firmware is up to date?

The only file on the USB drive is the original firmware file. There is no text file in the root directory. Is that an indication that it didn't accept the update? Thanks for everyone's help!

Looking for other TZ mixes other than original and horror. Love the Golden Earring group song, is anyone doing this type of remix?

I noticed a PinSound connection port on my PI-80 Pascal board I am using in a Gottlieb Haunted House. I contacted PinSound and did say it was something they are working on. Has anyone else heard anything about this?

I would love to know more about this for my HH as well.

Current wait time over 2 months, is this accurate? Anyone ordered recently?

Have you PM'd them to verify?

There's a whole lot of shakin' going on in pinball this week.

Perhaps prompted by Pinshakers' shaker kit announcement the other day... or perhaps not... PinSound has now opened up preorders on their "Motion Control Shaker Kit."

Shipping expected/estimated in September.

Very excited for this. Firing the shaker through pinsound via callouts should be alot easier that wiring it up to flashers. Glad it will work with the original board as well.

Yes this is great news! Definitely getting in on this for my IJ!!!!

I saw someone post this on facebook.. I hope it's easily tied in, I think rumbling during apollo 13 multiball launch would be awesome.

Looks like a great addition to the community!

This pinsound thread has been around a while now, as well as talk of shaker support. Interesting, just not the kind of interesting your post comes off as.

Lame you advertise your product here. Definitely will not be purchasing anything from pinshakers.

Later.

I can't believe they are serious with that?

I apologize, I certainly didn't mean to come off that way. I edited it and moved the post to our introduction topic.

Thanks!

Rob

I’m sure Rob didn’t mean anything by it, but I do want to clarify that there is also a forthcoming shaker product offered by PinSound that does not require the actual PinSound board.

Classic example of “competition is good for the customers” it would seem. Maybe not so much for the competitors though.

And it can still be triggered by call outs without it?

Is this an issue? Voltage of Pinsound card seems to be exceeding the expected range. Game and card function fine on the Dr Who. Thanks.

AMPLIFIER VOLTAGE MEASURED: 26447mV (expected range: 11000mV - 26000mV)
[lowest amplifier voltage measured: 25275mV / highest amplification voltage measured: 27888mV]

Had a question about editing the config file. When I open it up with Notepad, there are some non- English characters and no readable text. Should the config file be blank? What program should I use to open the config file properly? Thanks for the help.

Pinsound studio automatically updates it when you change settings there

Thanks, is there a way to go in and edit the text manually?

Can someone tell me what is the typical text in the config.ini file? I am trying to play with the background sound to make the voice tracks more prominent. When I open the config.ini file in a text program, I get a bunch of Chinese looking characters but no other expect text. Thanks for the help!

Man I can not remember - there is one file you can edit directly, I can’t recall what it is off the top of my head. PinSound.config maybe?

Contents of my config.ini file

You will have to play with the ducking settings (remove the leading semi-colon to enable them). Values are 0-100. I assume PinSound has left this feature available in their latest firmware, and I also assume it works on PinSound Plus.

If your config.ini has coded characters in it, then my recommendation is to copy the file off somewhere or rename it, then create a new config.ini with the contents as I've shown. Give it a try, can't hurt anything.

I just noticed that the sound on my Frankenstein has started to cut out whenever I hit both flippers. I'm assuming this is a power supply issue? I already tried reseating all the connectors. Would hate to have to buy a new power supply as this game played perfectly. Any ideas?

Thanks,
Rich

In all likelihood, yes.

Try the Data East Power Booster cabling from PinSound: https://www.pinsound.org/shop/index.php?id_product=41&controller=product&id_lang=1

When I installed a PinSound in my GNR some 4 years ago, I installed a separate 12V power supply to power it. Replaced that with the cabling above when it was released, and all remains good.

Thanks blackjacked, I'll probably get the cable kit. Thanks for the link.

PinSound
Since the board is fully digital, is there a way (like firmware upgrade) to adjust the volume separately? I have followed your guide but can't set the desired sound. With Pinsound 1 it's possible.

Has anyone downloaded the new Pro Studio version? Can the Global Levels be used to change the volumes for Vocal tracks for the entire orchestration when making changes? Thanks.

do you mean make voices louder/softer globally? You can already do that using the ducking feature

The new PSSP currently has limited features and not sure if the global settings work yet or not (you would need to test). Nicolas told me his main objective for this first release was shaker programmability, but he will be adding addition features to the software over time.

Can’t seem to be able to edit the config file. Thanks.

You don't/can't edit the config.pinsound file (this file contains details about an orchestration such as shaker commands, etc. using the new naming convention), rather the config.ini file which goes into the root of the USB drive as I've detailed before.

You need to edit

Config.ini

Config.pinsound is a binary. Try the other file ^^^

I tried to edit this file. When I open it in a text file program (notepad, etc.), I see about 20 Chinese characters and nothing else.

Follow my instructions in the post above: https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/pinsound-card-reviews-anyone/page/32#post-5142706

This is from my Getaway. This is an original Pinsound card. Don't have the config file? Thanks.
