leopardml2341 Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 Hello Folks, For some reason the one I bought (new from Matschke; Wuppertal) last year doesn't have a list of DCC sound functions with it. Can anyone help please? Rgds, Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
leopardml2341 Posted March 30, 2017 Author Share Posted March 30, 2017 I can't, but Roco can: roco@roco.cc Takes a few days (at least) for a reply, but they always do, is my experience. Use a regular ISP, not some spam-prone stuff like hotmail: they may not even receive your question! Thanks, will try them - do you reckon they'll 'accept' ymail addresses?

Fluo66 Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 If it has an ESU decoder try this page: http://www.esu.eu/en/downloads/sounds/generation-3/locos-with-loksound/ Scroll to Roco BR232 (it's the same loco with DB number) and click on the + symbol in the table row.

From Roco's spares list it seems that it's a Zimo chip. I've tried Zimo website, but each time my ISP warns of malware risks for Zimo.at. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
leopardml2341 Posted March 31, 2017 Author Share Posted March 31, 2017 Here you go, lifting the 1 MB limit made it possible for me to d/l the latest manual for you and post it as attachment (pdf): MX-KleineDecoder_E.pdf HTH! Thank You very much, lots of bedtime reading there Think I still need info from Roco about the specific sounds and function numbers, have emailed them and awaiting their response.

Neils WRX Posted April 3, 2017 Share Posted April 3, 2017 Must be honest wasn't that impressed with the ESU 232 sounds, and actually put the sound chip in another loco. As to me the engine didn't "scream" like I remembered. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As to me the engine didn't "scream" like I remembered.As far as I can tell from Roco website, it's a Zimo decoder(post #6) in this one and it's a BR132 (rather than BR232 - ETS fitted). Edit: Ignore the last bit, I'm talking twaddle, or rather regurgitating wot t'interweb said on one site without cross checking.

I stopped buying factory fitted sounds and prefer downloading them as they tend to be bettet (although not in this case). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neils WRX Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 (edited) Ended up buying a Roco 232 a while back, here’s a quick MP4 of it departing on a short train on my layout [yt] [/yt] This model has the stock Roco sound.
