F9 = FX5 Function Output
F10 = FX6 Function Output
F11 = Dimmer
F12 = Audio Mute
If you do not need the mute, dimmer or extra lighting functions, you can set
CV 30 to 4 and forget about it. Otherwise, programming CV 30 back and forth
with the values 0 and 4 can be quite inconvenient and a more sophisticated
solution is in order.
Example: Function Mapping With an 8‑Function Cab
In this example, we will presume that you want to use the FX5 output for
number board lights and FX6 for a cab light. The FX5 and FX6 outputs can
be doubled‑up on F0 so that these lighting effects will turn on whenever the
headlight or backup light is on, which will free up the F5 and F6 keys.
Using Table D, we can proceed to remapping the functions. Starting with F0,
configure the forward direction (F0[f]) to control the headlight, FX5 and FX6
outputs:
CV 33 = 1 + 16 + 32 = 49
For the reverse direction (F0[r]), set F0 to control the backup light, FX5 and
FX6 outputs:
CV 34 = 2 + 16 + 32 = 50
Working With Cabs That Have Fewer Than 8
Functions
By default, your SoundCar comes with Intelligent Consisting activated by
pressing F8 four times (on, off, on, off). You may move this to a different
function key of your choice by adjusting CV 228. This CV contains a value
of 1 to 12, which corresponds to the desired function key (default value is 8).
For example, if you want to activate Intelligent Consisting by pressing F7 four
times, you would change CV 228 to a value of 7.
