1st undercab RGB setup and now SSF - followed both of your tutorials and it all is working great! Thank you M Frenchy! To all those wondering - just do it! I have real solenoids, shaker, gear, knocker and this compliments that for an even more realistic pinball simulation.
WOOOO HOO! finally got a detail and examples explanation of the SSF. THANK YOU so much for this. The only thing you might want to add to the video, is example of the sound of SFF then sound example of the solenoids and switch with out SSF and finally both together to show how much SSF adds to the over all experience of the CAB. Either way fantastic job.... clap clap clap.
Thank you paul. We were just chatting about it in the discord group discord.gg/x32hXek and i think there is a way to disable the SSF contactor noise if you want to use the real one instead. If anyone knows, feel free to add the info
Great video. Great info. Thank you! Please be careful when you talk signal flow as to not confuse people. Unless SSF runs differently than every other audio system the output from the amp does not go to the computer as you stated. The output comes from the Computer > into the Amp > out to the Exciter Speakers not the other way around.
I just want to say thank you so much for all the videos that you're creating. I'm just walking into this world of virtual pins and I come from a electromechanical pinball world. These videos are fantastic and so clarifying and I have parts coming in at this time to work towards making these wonderful machines. Again thank you so much.
How do you wire from the amps to the sound card? My sound card is in my pc and it doesn't take L/R audio signals. Are you splicing? I haven't seen anyone talk about the actual connections from amp to computer.
If I already have real hardware toys for realistic sounds, can this be used without conflicting with them? I like the effect you get of the ball rolling with SSF, but I don’t really need it helping with my bumper/flipper noises as I have those. I’m afraid they’ll co flick if both are working at the same time.
Very informative video, however I can't believe that you do not even once mention the single most important feature of SSF, which is that you can........ *FEEL*THE*BALL*ROLL*DOWN*THE*PLAYFIELD!!!!!* Once you tell someone that, they are hooked.
Hello - have a question about "Channel Phantoming" check out this Facebook entry. It is recommended that you solve this problem with the "EQAPO" program, otherwise sound files will be lost at some tables.

Another great tutorial from Major Frenchy You are amazing, i have my VP table finished with all lights, toys and settings done thanks to your tutorial videos and guides. Thank you so much for what you guys has been done to he community
Thanks for this super clear and concise setup video. Once this is setup and working in VPX, is it easy to get ssf working in future Pinball? Do you have a vid for that?
Fantastic video MJ, I'll soon have enough time to work on my pin cab again and this will be right up my street. Many thanks for all your hard work creating the guide. All the best Tony
Love SSF. Couldn't play my cab without it and best of all, you can change flipper, sling shits, bumper sounds to your liking. Great video Major Frenchy!
Rusty and DJrobx wow. Thank you for the work you guys did. There is a thank you for you guys at the bottom of the article, but you deserve more than that. You were an inspiration.
@@MajorFrenchy No biggie hey, we are just glad that people are enjoying it and we are most grateful to the table authors for now including it in their original builds.
Great video, thanks for posting it. I have a question: does the table have a tilt mechanism ? If I'm playing and shake it too much does it tilt ? Also can I influence the ball bounce by shaking the table a little like in real pinball ?
Question for you Major. Do I need doflinx running in the background to make this work.? I followed all the steps and tested the exciters. I have no sound coming from them for the mechanical parts.... only the back glass and pub pack sounds.

Good video - I've started researching this and needed to see it in action.

Thanks mame for the video guide on SSF. I will need it later on when I upgrade from 2.1.
How do you wire from the amps to the sound card? My sound card is in my pc and it doesn't take L/R audio signals. Are you splicing? I haven't seen anyone talk about the actual connections from amp to computer.
Question: If I have a 4 ohm amp, I should buy 4 ohm exciters right? I'm thinking about getting two 4 ohm amps to run two 4 ohm exciters each. Thanks.

Thanks OzStick. You are right. It does feel nice.
Can you do a video using the Startech USB 7.1 external? Thanks.
I don't own Startech but another model. And i do have a new ssf video coming out in a few weeks.
Legend!
Thanks dude!

Does Pinball FX3 support SSF?
Yes it does. I mentioned it at the end of the video.
Can you make a tutoria on PuPDMD?
Good idea. I ll add it to the bucket list. Thanks for the suggestion
Another great tutorial from Major Frenchy

SSF is so underrated. Would always start with that over dof contactors / solenoids.
Hi, can you connect the amps live and earth to connection blocks that go to 12v power
Thanks for the great video, it's fantastic to see SSF getting out there. - RustyCardores

17:08 they all sound differently

Ah did a little search and I see accelerometers are used as an input and the simulators already have that function.
Why you remove the video of the poor future pinball game 😂
It was updated with a newer version
Thanks for your videos. Have you ever tried flexdmd? It's supposed to be a replacement for ultradmd.
Haha, Yes i did, i am just finishing the guide on it, made a video too, should be out this weekend.
Thanks a lot for this insight !
Thank you for posting this excellent tutorial.

No you don't. Not for Vpx. If you use FX3 follow Terry Red guide. You need special setup for it.
@@MajorFrenchy thanks brother
I have 10 24v solenoids...kind of wondering if I should do this too
I have too. It is a big game changer.
Wow, this is really great! That logo you made for it is great as well. Thank you for putting this together.
Wow is this THE Djrobx???? what an honour!
