Hi good day. I have this question. In the airhorn, how is it configured so that each time you press the horn, it sounds continued and does not have 1 second of waiting for it to sound again? (airhorn short) I would like it to sound like in this video, every time you press the button it sounds and it is continued. My locomotive is SD70ACE athearn with soundtraxx 1 decoder Sorry about my English, it's not that good. Greetings from Mexico
There is a short horn and long horn function key. They default key varies based on if the decoder is after market or factory installed. Please contact our Support Department for more assistance: support@soundtraxx.com
CV 234 is used to determine the amount of reverb signal that is mixed back with the original audio signal. 0 -255 = 0%-100% CV 235 is used to determine the overall reverb delay time from 0 to 255ms. 0 = Disabled 1 = Minimum delay time . . . 255 = Maximum delay time CV 236 is used to determine the percentage of the reverb output that is mixed back into the input and creates the effect of multiple sound reflections, each diminishing in amplitude over time. 0 -255 = 0%-100% All of this info can be found in the Tsunami2 manuals on our website as well: soundtraxx.com/manuals/tsunami2-digital-sound-decoder
Digital echo and Reverb are nice features to have, but aren't a replacement for a good original recording with real world echo IMHO. I spent years in a recording studio playing with all sorts of digital enhancements and I never found them as good for reproducing that "outdoorsy sound"
Yes, our sound engineers record top quality sounds every time. We partner with railroads to get access to locomotives to ensure great quality. But we do not always get the change to say record in a deep canyon and not all customers will want that much echo. So we try to do our best to meet everyone's needs.
You could use a "plate echo" box. That has been used for a vast number of recordings of popular music and odds are you have seen, or used, them if doing studio work. It would be slightly hard to fit into the locomotive since the enclosure might be about five feet tall. But if you could get the sound to the plate echo box and then back to the engine, you'd really have something.
Wow. That's an incredible change to sound quality. Thank You George. I have requested Norman to keep inn the loop for new video presentations.
Sure thing!
Thank you! This was so helpful
You're so welcome!
George, thank you. 👍
Thanks for watching!
There is a reason why Soundtraxx decoders are my favorite sound decoders!
Thanks!
As always, thanks George!!
Thanks for watching!
This was really good George!!! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching!

George nice horn
Thanks!
What about the other CVs for adjusting reverb? (CV 234-236)
CV 234 is used to determine the amount of reverb signal that is mixed back with the
original audio signal. 0 -255 = 0%-100%
CV 235 is used to determine the overall reverb delay time from 0 to 255ms.
0 = Disabled
1 = Minimum delay time
.
.
.
255 = Maximum delay time
CV 236 is used to determine the percentage of the reverb output that is mixed back into
the input and creates the effect of multiple sound reflections, each diminishing in
amplitude over time.
0 -255 = 0%-100%
All of this info can be found in the Tsunami2 manuals on our website as well: soundtraxx.com/manuals/tsunami2-digital-sound-decoder
Can we see a demo for how those settings affect the reverb? I'm having a hard time picturing it.
I did this on an Athearn Génesis GP9 and nothing change
