The CV’s in the following table have the same meaning for all types of power (Steam, diesel, electric):
CV Designation Range

Description
#265
#266
#395
Select loco type For sound collections; see first page of this chapter (5.)
Total volume
0-255
=
0-400%
64
=
100%
The value “65” results (
mathematically ) in the highest possible
distortion-free playback volume; but values of up to 100 can be
perfectly suitable.
Recommended: #266 = 40…90
Maximum volume the sound can be raised to (does not have
to be the same value as in CV #266
#396
#397
Defines function key for volume decrease; lowers volume as
long as key is pressed; about 10 steps/sec, down to 0.
ATTENTION: This changes CV #266.
Defines function key for volume increase; raises volume as
long as key is pressed; about 10 steps/sec, to the maximum
defined in CV #395.
ATTENTION: This changes CV #266; can be used as a substi-
tute for a mute key.
#310
ON/OFF key for
engine and random
sound
0 - 28,
255
8
Defines the function key (by default F8) that turns the engine
sound (chuffs, boiling, blow-offs, brake squeals...) as well as
the random sound (compressor, coal shoveling...) ON or OFF.
= 8: F8 key switches driving sound ON or OFF.
Note: this is the default key for ZIMO original sound projects;
OEM prjects (i.e. ROCO) often use other settings. Most often 1
for the F1 key.
= 1…28: ON/OFF key for F1…F28.
= 255: engine and random sounds are always ON.
#311
#312
#313
ON/OFF key for
function sound
0 - 28 0
Function key assigned as ON/OFF key of function sounds (i.e.
F2
– whistle, F6 – bell etc.).
= 0: does not mean that F0 is assigned for this task but
rather that the function sounds are always active.
= (#310), if the same value is entered here as in CV #310,
the key defined in #310 turns all sound ON/OFF.
= 1 ... 28: Separate ON/OFF key for function sound.
Blow-off key
See chapter 5.5 “Basic steam engine settings”.

This CV assigns a function key with which the driving sounds
can be faded in and out, i.e. when the train disappears behind
scenery. F8 is used by default, which is already the sound

To reduce the driving sound volume (E.g . Diesel motor with
related sounds such as turbo charger) compared to the func-
tion sounds.
The following CV’s can be programmed both “normal”
(i.e. CV #... = ...) and
“incremental”.
“Incremental programming” 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 parame-
ters.
The “Lead CV” in each case is the first of 3 consequential CV’s that are edited and shown on
the same screen of a ZIMO MX31/MX32 cab during the “incremental programming” proce-
dure.

#287
Brake squeal
threshold
0
– 255
10 20
The brake squeal should start when the speed
drops below a specific speed step. It will be au-
tomatically stopped at speed 0 (based on back-
EMF results).
#288
Minimum driving time
before brake squeals
0 - 255
=
0 - 25 sec
10 50
The brake squeal is to be suppressed when an
engine is driven for a short time only, which is
usually a shunting run and often without any
cars (in reality it is mostly the cars that are
squealing not the engine itself!).
Note: Brake squeal sounds can also be as-
signed to a function key (see allocation proce-
dur
e CV #300 = …), with which the brake squeal
can be started or stopped manually!
Coasting and Notching functions are required for driving situtations where the engine sound
cannot be derived from speed, acceleration and load only.
Primarily in diesel
locomotives (but not necessarily limited to diesels), the motor’s idle sound
or a certain specified speed step sound is enforced by keystroke.
This method can be used for “downshifting” (often to neutral) as well as “upshifting” (i.e. ele-
vated idle for heating). Future software versions will expand this function to a fully independ-
ent sound effect.

Coasting-Key
(or Notching)
0 - 28 0
Function key that activates “Coasting“, which forces the mo-
tor sound
to a specified speed independent of the driving
NOTE: The default values
of individual CV’s are
NOT decoder-specific, but rather depend on
the decoder’s
sound project. This means that a HARD RESET with CV #8 = 8 returns the de-
coder to the state defined by the sound project. The default values listed below are values often
used in sound projects, but not necessarily the correct values in all cases.
