Badger boy Posted September 8, 2023 Share Posted September 8, 2023 Hi - dabling in DCC sound for the first time and have got a Loksound 5 decoder and would appreciate a bit of help please (Neil from Wheeltappers away at the moment so thought I'd try here) 1. There is about a one second delay between the loco moving and the 'chuff' starting - is there a cv to adjust this delay ? 2. Is there a single CV to adjust the volume of the random sounds ? 3. Am I correct in assuming that after changing volume cv's CV31 and CV32 should be changed back to their default value ? (tried looking in the Loksound manual but must admit most of it goes way above my head) Many thanks in anticipation Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, unfortunately that doesn't exist On 08/09/2023 at 13:17, Badger boy said: 2. Is there a single CV to adjust the volume of the random sounds ? The ESU V5 no longer has random SOUNDS, only random FUNCTIONS. These trigger the “normal” sounds. So all you have to do is change their volumes. On 08/09/2023 at 13:17, Badger boy said: 3.

Before changing any CV above 255 you should ALWAYS rewrite CVs 31 and 32 immediately beforehand, so it doesn't matter what values they have in operation. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
