Title: K-27 Zimo sound unit installed
Post by: Heinz D on April 18, 2008, 04:42:36 PM
Hi Folks
I've done a Soundjob on the Zimo Hardware. This project I've spent for all modell railroaders, which are needing a soundsolution for their K-27. It's a free opensource download from the website www.zimo.at  for using the Zimo Sounddecoder MX690S. You'll finde below software/ZSP/ ZSP/DOWNLOAD aller aktuellen ZIMO Sound Projekte and scroll to the US departement.

I've done a Soundproject for 2 clubmembers using the genuine K-27 Sound from the 463. The chuff is recorded in location at Cisco Tank, the whistle, the bell, airpumpe, dynamo, injector. All these and more effects, are taken from the 463, I've all made with looping areas for realtime playability. Directswitch for "Approaching a Highway crossing" sound. The project is able to flash into the Zimo DCC Sounddecoder MX690S for large scale and into the MX640 for 0n30. Everybody seeing and listening the engine is surprised, about their prototype like Sound

The wiring inside the K-27 tender is a simple job of 15 minutes. The K-27 Sondproject is flashed in 5 minutes into the sounddecoder inside the engine using the zimo computerinterface. If you flash the  "K-27 US G-Scale Norm" all the CVs are preset to run your Bachmann K-27 on your layout.

If you don't like to operate DCC today, but in future maybe you'll change, the MX690 is able to operate with only DC power too. He has 3 inputs for 3 reed switches to controll 3 different soundeffects. Your are able to adjust with the free Zimo Sound Programmer software

If you like more informations ask me, or ask Zimo in Vienna for the US representant. In future you can order the MX690S Sounddecoder inclouding the K-27 Project. Please order Project US G-Scale Norm.
