Daft question.

Can you transfer a copy and transfer a sound file from one sound chip and then install it on another.

It's just that my new chip sound file for the RhB Crok is nothing like the old one, in the running sounds.

You ought to be able to download the older file (different number) and could reload the new decoder with that?

I have not been through the pain of where they have moved the files to recently. You may have to email Massoth support.

Can you read the old decoder, still?

If you can, you ought to be able to pull the file from that, and drop it into the new decoder.
If.... It is the same model, and Massoth have not made / had to make too many changes to the hardware.

The old decoder sort of still works, except for the lighting functions, sounds are ok. it is an older version of the XLS, but it has a susi socket.
The sound file on the old one was 8230040 as per the sound function sheet, the newer ones are 823*040, the MST usb stick has my sound version on a demo, but overlaid with the background music.
There must be a proper file somewhere, if a transfer is a no go.

Old and new chips...

You should be able to save the new version before you write the older version into the new decoder.

You could ask Massoth if the change is possible..

Well looks as if that is it, the older XLS carn't be read on the MST, but then again it could be the idiot in charge. Chip paper instruction booklet is version 1.4 - 1/08.
So i am guessing chip is too old for the MST and it was produced in 2008, as that would equate with the install time line of around 17 years ago.

One thing of note is the MST demo sounds does have my origional sounds listed as 8230040 dated 02/04/2007, which is what I would like to have again.
Not the 8230040 version that is on the sound files, version 4.1 on the sound editor files.

Ah well the service tool defeats me yet again.
 
Germany has a lot going for it, but somehow they manage to produce awful software, not just the MST but anything from SAP business systems to the outdated rubbish in my MB car. I wanted a single sound file replaced via MST so that I could have a Spanish station bell rather than Germanic platform announcements. I made a suitable sound file exactly as per Massoth instructions but even the 'MST Expert' retained by a certain large G Scale Shop took several months (at my expense) to work out how to make a simple swap via the tool.
 
Something I thought would be so simple, the file is sort of there, with the demo music background, so the file sans music must exsist somewhere within Massoth.

Anyways I have e mailed their support line, will see what the response is.
 
Massoth have responded with an Email, text as below.

Hello Gordon,

Attached is the firmware V2.9x needed for the sound and the sound data
sheet. You can update the firmware and sound through the MST in the top
bar 'Firmware/Sound / File update'.

Mit freundlichen Grüßen / Best regards

Frank Nöller

So it looks as if the head scratching sound project is a go then.

Yep "Good Luck" indeed, Why am I thinking of Gordon Jackson in a certain film that had Germans in it.

Massoth Service Tool not sure if that's a statement of what it is or of it's user. :banghead::swear:

Some people swear by a certain rmakers product, at the moment I am swearing at it.

Well I guess I am going to have to live with the new sounds, I may well in time grow to like them. :eek:
