Hay folks! I working on a design for new sound system. First I'll tell you a bit about this project. Then I'd like to know what you'd like to see in your idea of the dream sound system! · Works with any throttle system you may already have! · 8 separate sounds per throttle. · Computer assisted. · Pick the profile that most closely matches the sound of your railroad. · Edit and make your own profiles. · Up to 4 throttles. · Random sounds per throttle. IE: air compressors, pressure release and other engine sounds. · Both diesel and steam sounds. · Pick and chose the random sounds for the seen's that match your model railroad. · Panel mounted or walk around styles. · Inexpensive and upgradeable! So you start out small on a small budget and up graded as You have the money. I'm sure I have left out something. I'm hoping you can tell me! Like what 8 sounds Would you want to have in this dream sound system? Please post any ideas or thoughts here, or email them to me at : " ns@eznetbbs.tzo.com " . Thanks for your help! ns@eznetbbs.tzo.com Sean Moore's Norfolk Southern MRR.
Hey Sean welcome to the 'board. I think the most important consideration, if you're going to market this item is make it very user friendly, and it should have a 'turnkey' option, ie the user does't have to make any changes unless he wants to. The volume of the various sounds should be adjustable. I love my Soundtrax, but the compressor overpowers everything sometimes. Good Luck and keep us posted
by any throttle, do you include LENZ DCC?? I want to add sound eventually but since I'm in N scale, I will have to mount a series of speakers and have track detectors activate speakers in that area. Let me know if you have found a way to handle dcc Thanx
The only other feature that I would like to have is onboard speakers. Does your plan provide for that?
