Ive been messing around with soundloader and I have a couple questions. What is the DIESEL_RUN_HI slot? Is that for a notch 8 sound? Can I add more sounds so each notch can play? If none of that is possible, whats the next best for programmable sounds so that I can have a sound for each notch. Colin
Soundloader is the Digitrax software for downloading “sound projects” to Digitrax SFX decoders, like the SoundBug and a few others. You need a PR3 unit from Digitrax (or an older PR2) to accomplish this. You can’t do it without a computer and one of these programming units.
There is a set of software which controls the sounds. If the software addresses the DIESEL_RUN_HI sound file, then something will happen with it. I don’t know whether the software does this. If you can play the sound when you load the project into your computer, my guess is that it does work.
That slot has and will never be used. It is part of the Modual 8 structure that Al tried to implement, but the on-board processor was too weak to be effective.
So, in short, it does nothing.
