With the older ESU decoders and program I was able to alter a diesel horn. With difficulty, the software was decidely unuser friendly. So I hope the Kruts have got it right this time. I tried to communicate with ESU several times without success. ESU dont care about the English speaking market, they dont even reply to faxes.
I gave up and switched to Soundtraxx. I'll be using the new digitrax FX decoder once it's issued.

Are Esu still producing polyphonic sound ?.
One feature I like with the soundtraxx DSX is you can put a small decoder in the loco
and a sound only DSX in the tender which is perfectly suited to Hornby loco's. It does have the disadvantage that the sound cannot be changed, although you can change the
sound of the chuff chuff quite a bit. I think the new Digitrax sound decoder will herald the start of cheaper sound decoders, and that can't be a bad thing.

I still would prefer the sound of a guards whistle and slamming doors to a church bell though.
