Why do mechanical sound effects have no delay?

Note
It was discovered that Sound Pool SFX were causing a performance issue on older devices, and were removed toward the end of 2016.

Effects that have no noticeable delay are part of the android SoundPool in the game.

Including sound assets in the sound pool allows Android to play back the sound directly, and not pass the sound file through the Android audio engine and FAM.

Sound effects in the SoundPool include any mechanical sound effects:

  • Flippers

  • Pop Bumpers

  • Sling Shots

  • Saucer Ejects

  • Vertical Up-kickers (VUK)

  • Game-specific effects like motors, or balls rolling on habitrails.

  • Balls interacting with metal side rails or rubbers.
