Sound help

[Paulmacka]

Hi everyone , after some help advice on a lock sound 3.5 decoder . I know it’s a older decoder but it works superbly except for one bugging issue I’m having . It’s loaded with howes sound project for a 5MT. The problem is when the loco sets off i Think it should give the injector steam hiss sound , instead it makes a noise like the injectors but really short and fast as if the sound has been speeded up It’s really annoying as it’s unrealistic and I can’t remove it or change it . I know I can’t alter the way the sound project is loaded via cvs, I have attempted to adjust and read cvs but railmaster is giving “not used to“ to all of the cvs except for the important ones , I think this may be how howes have programmed it so I can’t see their values. I have learnt that you can attach sound slots to cvs like moving forward and stop , this only causes the sounds to remain On all the time. if Possible I was wondering if there is a trick to increasing the steam hiss sound on moving Via a secret cv . I have also tried the macro commands in railmaster this works for the button commands but not for this automatic departure Sound , 

cheers paul

I'm not familiar with that particular decoder, but the short sharp hiss you describe could be the brakes releasing, not the injectors. They are controlled from the cab, to add more water to the boiler as and when needed.

You can download the v3.5 manual from the Hornby Downloads Sound loco Manuals page here

 

Fairly heavy going but worth a read front to back.

Surely a quick phone call to Howes to discuss your issue would yeild more time efficient results.
