Excellent introduction video! The capability of Loksound decoders is simply amazing. Looking forward to future tutorials videos from ESU.

I am relatively new to model railroading and brand new to Loksound. Thank you for producing these videos. I look forward to this series.

Thanks Matt - keep them coming!

[@JarrodDellaChiesa]

Can't wait for the next video!

[@Kids2Biz]

I just wanted to ask when there are more videos going to come, diving deeper into this series on loksound soundslot design? I would especially be interested in the promised video on explaining all the available conditions.

I am trying to load an Intermountain loco into the system and I keep getting an error of conflict. Help.

[@sebastianbuurpetersen7703]

Hello. Is there any difference between a 5 and 4 Decoder, compared to Soundslot?

[@ESUDCC]

While the structure is very similiar and many of the features are the same, there are a few extra features in the LokSound 5 that do not exist in the V4. But this series will definitely help you understand the V4 as well.

Does this apply to Select Direct Micro decoders in Atlas N scale locos?

[@ESUDCC]

While scale does not really matter in LokSound decoder programming, the Select decoders were not open for sound file creation like the LokSound 4 and LokSound 5 decoders. For the Selects, you can only use the ESU created Select files from our website. projects.esu.eu/projectoverviews/2

@@ESUDCC Thanks. Very much looking forward to more!

Hi Matt, how often you will publish a new video?

[@ESUDCC]

Our plan is a few a week. We will have the next one later today or tomorrow at latest.

[@WesterdamCS]

Thank you for this video, and hopefully all the upcoming ones. I am looking forward to this. I just made my first Loksound file for the Dutch railroad NS VIRM, and while it works, it is far from perfect. My sound file is here kzbin.info/www/bejne/mKTLaqiZoc6ZppI. My main issue is similar to the diesel sound you started talking about, and that is how to hold or coast a sound at a specific speed. Mine does not do that and the VIRM has a Thyrister shifting sound , similar to a taurus Lok, on acceleration it makes it hopelessly complicated in my current limited knowledge base. I hope you will go in depth on that in a future video.
