Audio format for LokSound decoders?
Posted by pequeajim on Thursday, January 7, 2016 2:14 PM

I have a v4.0 micro decoder and a programmer.  I wrote some Thomas sounds to the decoder, (some were newly sampled), and when playing them back some sounded like nasty static.  I have not called ESU yet.  I thought maybe it might have to do with the sample rate in Audacity?

Any thoughts?

Page 8 of the Lokprogrammer reference mnual has a table with the sound file format it wants.

15625Hz sample rate, 8 bit, mono.

Lokprogrammer will attempt to convert if the file is in a different format but this is probably what is causing the odd sounds as it is not a full featured auto format converter - set them to teh proper spec in AUdacity before loading them in your sound project.

Worked like a charm Randy. Thanks again. You know, you're not too far from where I live in New Holland...
