The volume for background sounds (boiling, brake squealing etc.), function sounds, random sounds
and switch input sounds can be set within the sound selection procedures
(see chapter 5.1 The “CV
#300 procedures).
More convenient
however is the direct volume adjustment by CV’s (especially when no sound se-
lection is necessary, which is often the case). Of course, not all sounds listed below are part of every
sound project. Changing sound CV values of sound files that are not part of the relevant sound pro-
ject have no effect.

#674, #677…#698 = volume for sounds on F20, F21…F28.
Note:
The CV’s between the above (#570, 572, #513, 515, 516, 518 etc.) hold information for the relevant sound
samples (sample numbers, loop parameters etc.), which can also be modified if needed, usually with the CV #300
procedures.

Switch input sound S1
0 - 255
=

0
Volume setting for the sound activated by switch input S1.
= 0: full volume, original sample volume (same as 255)
= 1 .. 254: reduced volume 1 - 99,5 %

5.5 Steam engine
Basic sound settings
The following CV’s can be programmed both
“normal”
(i.e. CV #... = ...) and
“incremental”.
“In-
cremental progra
mming” is especially useful when the proper value cannot be calculated in advance
and must be determined by trial, which is often the case with many sound parameters.
The “Lead CV” in each case is the first of a group of 3 CV’s, which are edited and displayed together
on a ZIMO MX31/MX32 cab during the “incremental programming” procedure.
