Sound volumnes

(1/3) > >>

Josephbw:
Is there any way to adjust individual sound volumes, like just the horn or just the engine, or is it all or nothing?

William Brillinger:
Yes, you can adjust the volume of each sound separately on the same screen where you choose the sound file for each button.

I can't fire mine up right now, but if you need more help, I'll take some photos and create the steps for you tomorrow.

KPack:
Tap the settings button on the locomotive control page (left of the locomotive picture).  This will open up all the locomotive settings.  Scroll through the pages (lower left or lower right) until you reach the page for button setup.  Here you will see a page containing all the function buttons found on the locomotive control screen.  Up near the top of the page you can scroll through the individual buttons and change them.  Any button can be anything....it can be made a sound button, light button, action button, or nothing.  From there you can specify which sound you want the button to play, which picture you want the button to display, what the button will be named, etc.  If you have set the button up to play sounds you can adjust the sound by tapping on the volume slider near the bottom of the page.  Use the knob to adjust the volume and tap exit.  Save the new settings before exiting the locomotive settings page....remember sounds need to be off and locomotive needs to be stopped in order to save.

You can have the sound on and change the volume in real time to see how it sounds.  Some sounds will need to be activated again in order to hear it at the new volume (ie the prime mover will need to be notched up or down in order to hear it at the new setting).  Turn the sounds off to save.  The new settings will stay if it is unsaved until the locomotive loses power.

Josephbw:
Thanks a lot guys, that helps me out.

Another question I have, is there any particular use for the extra light outputs from the decoder? In other words is output x for mars lights, output y for ditch lights, output z for classification lights, etc.? Or can you assign the exact function you want to the button of your choice?

Thanks again,
Joe

KPack:
You can assign anything you want to each of the individual light outputs.  The process is the same for setting up lights as it is for setting up sound buttons.  You specify what function wire the button will activate, then you set what light effect will be played.  You can have it do anything.  New light effects can be downloaded from Ring Engineering via the Railpro Assistant. 

The "extra" light function wires on the LM-2S are there to give you a total of 6 possible light outputs.  Meaning you can have up to 6 different lights controlled by six different buttons.  I usually only use four myself.

I will try and make a video tonight walking you through everything.
