Episode#38 Big Budget Virtual Pinball Cabinet Tutorial Series!
In this episode, I will teach you how to create your very own chime unit for your virtual pinball cabinet or for your classic EM pinball machine that is missing one!
In this video I show everything you need to know about gathering all of the parts, assembling it, and installing it including getting it set up in the Dude's Cab configurator/hooking it up to a Bunny board/setting up VPU Config Tool. Plus I show how to tune the chimes to create that perfect classic sound you remember from the arcades!
Special thanks to Pressnut for his chime unit project! Follow the link to get the instructions, parts list, and stl files to print off.
