Now look over Table K and do the same: Add up all the numbers associated

with your desired functions and program the sum into CV 22.

Note that you will have to individually program CVs 21 and 22 for each DSD

in your consist; each DSD may require a different set of values for CVs 21

and 22 depending on your model’s requirements.

Consist Function Control Example: In this example, let’s say that you want

to add a SoundCar‑equipped reefer and caboose to your train. You want the

generator sound to be function‑controlled in the reefer car. For the caboose,

you want the FRED (FX5) to flash and the air whistle enabled. You also want

to enable the train brake, coupling and uncoupling sounds in all cars, as well

as the mute function.

Refrigerator Car – Using Table J, program CV 21 with the value

corresponding to F8 (mute), which is 128. Likewise, using Table K,

program CV 22 with the values corresponding to F9 (generator), F10

(uncoupling), F11 (brakes), and F12 (coupling). Thus, set CV 22 to 60

(4 + 8 + 16 + 32 = 60).

Caboose – Referring to Table J, select the values for F2 (airhorn/whistle),

F3 (short horn), F5 (FX5 output), and F8 (mute) and enter their sum of

150 (2 + 4 + 16 + 128 = 150) in CV 21. Then refer to Table K and select

the values for F10 (uncoupling), F11 (brakes), and F12 (coupling). Enter

their sum of 56 (8 + 16 + 32 = 56) in CV 22.

Tip: In cab car scenarios, set CV 129 to 0 in your locomotive to mute the

airhorn during reverse movements so that only the horn from the rear car

is heard when F2 is pressed.

Note: If you are programming on the mainline, you will hear a quick

cowbell sound after changing a CV value as an acknowledgement.

Consist Inertia Control

CV 23, Consist Acceleration Rate

CV 24, Consist Deceleration Rate

CVs 23 (Consist Acceleration Rate) and 24 (Consist Deceleration Rate) can

be used to increase or decrease the acceleration and braking responses of

SoundCar‑equipped models when part of a consist. CV 23 calculates a new

acceleration rate for the consist by adding the value of CV 23 to the value

of CV 3 (Baseline Acceleration Rate). Likewise, CV 24 calculates a new

braking rate for the consist by adding the value of CV 24 to the value of CV 4

(Baseline Deceleration Rate). When CV 19 (Consist Address) is set to 0, CVs

23 and 24 are inactive.
