We expect better availability and more stable download times. In addition, the site will be better protected against attacks from the web with the help of Cloudflare.
At the same time as the move, we are very pleased to be able to publish 16 (!) newly developed steam locomotive projects in the “LokSound 5 European sounds” category. All of them have been completely resampled and redesigned to make your steam locomotives even more realistic. We hope that there is something for you too. As always with ESU, the sound projects are licensed free of charge for use with ESU LokSound 5 decoders.
We are currently working on creating new demo sounds and more demo videos for the new project files. More project files are also in the works. Please visit our website regularly, it's worth it!]]> Fri, 26 Jul 2024 11:22:00 +0200 http://www.esu.eu/en/news/read-news-entry/article/lokprogrammer-software-529-verfuegbar/ The new LokProgrammer software 5.2.9 is now available for download. This includes firmware... 5.2.9 is now available for download. This includes firmware 5.10.168, 5.10.169, 5.10.172 for all LokSound 5 and LokPilot 5 decoders. This will add versatile new features to our decoders: A new auxiliary steam chuff trigger can be used to independently control a second steam motor in steam locomotive projects. We also extended the SUSI Mapping by one line to control F0 Reverse independently: This is needed for new upcoming Märklin® / Trix® H0 Tender steam locomotives to maintain the correct function of the headlights. In the same locomotives, the new light output mode (effect) "Steam trigger Edge Toggle" can be used to correctly control the synchronized smoke units. Using this firmware (and the correct settings) will allow for these locomotives to work flawlessly using an original LokSound 5 decoders offereing industry-leading sound features. Finally, we added two new SNCB signals for the SignalPilot.]]> Wed, 24 Jul 2024 11:36:00 +0200 http://www.esu.eu/en/news/read-news-entry/article/esu-llc-summer-break/ Hello Loyal ESU Customers, We hope you are having a great summer 2024 so far and are continuing...

ESU Team]]> Fri, 19 Jul 2024 15:17:00 +0200 http://www.esu.eu/en/news/read-news-entry/article/lokprogrammer-software-528-verfuegbar/ The new LokProgrammer software 5.2.8 is now available for download. This includes firmware 5.10.166... 5.2.8 is now available for download. This includes firmware 5.10.166 for all LokSound 5 and LokPilot 5decoders. The most important update is that from now, the decoders can feedback their real speed using RailCom. ECoS Command Stations and the CabControl System will get updates during the coming weeks as well in order to use this new feature.]]> Tue, 30 Apr 2024 00:00:00 +0200 http://www.esu.eu/en/news/read-news-entry/article/lokprogrammer-software-527-verfuegbar/ The new LokProgrammer software 5.2.7 is now available for download. This includes firmware 5.9.160... 5.2.7 is now available for download. This includes firmware 5.9.160 for all LokSound 5 and LokPilot 5decoders. The "Smart Firebox" function can now simulate the firebox LED in sync with the steam shot to achieve an even more realistic looking result. We wish you a happy easter and enjoy model railroading!]]> Fri, 19 Jan 2024 15:02:00 +0100 http://www.esu.eu/en/news/read-news-entry/article/lokprogrammer-software-526-verfuegbar/ The new LokProgrammer software 5.2.6 is now available for download. This includes firmware 5.9.160... 5.2.6 is now available for download. This includes firmware 5.9.160 for all LokSound 5 decoders. This fixes an issue having a "Plopp-Sound" when using the tone control feature. It also includes firmware 1.0.1468 for Pullman / ESU BLS BT9 pilot car that fixes a direction issue when used in DC analog operation.]]> Fri, 19 Jan 2024 15:02:00 +0100 http://www.esu.eu/en/news/read-news-entry/article/lokprogrammer-software-525-verfuegbar-klangregelung-fuer-loksound-5/ The new LokProgrammer software 5.2.5 is now available for download. This includes firmware 5.9.159... 5.2.5 is now available for download. This includes firmware 5.9.159 for all LokSound 5 decoders. For the first time, it is now possible to adjust the desired acoustics to the speaker installed there using bass and treble control. Similar to what you are used to with a stereo system, the sound can be easily adjusted using just two controls (here: CV 196 for bass, CV 197 for treble). This makes the use of the new ESU loudspeakers with passive radiator technology (ESU 50344 or 50345) even more perfect! And the best thing about it: The new tone control is implemented solely in the decoder's firmware. All you need to do is update the decoder's firmware; the sound files themselves do not need to be changed or reinstalled. This is advantageous for customers who do not have the original project file available. Instructions on how to do the whole thing can be found in the Tips & Tricks section.]]> Mon, 13 Nov 2023 15:53:00 +0100 http://www.esu.eu/en/news/read-news-entry/article/lokprogrammer-software-524-veroeffentlicht/ From now, the new LokProgrammer Software 5.2.4. is available for download. The new LokProgrammer... Software 5.2.4. contains firmware 5.8.156 for all LokSound 5 decoders. This firmware defines a new "Class Light Logic" function, which allows you to cycle through 2 or 3 lights one after the other using the same function key. CV199=1 or 2 defines the number of lights (2 or 3). Each class light color is assigned an AUX output and the "sequence position" to which each color appears can be set with CV32=0 and then adjusting CV258 to values of 64, 128, or 192 accordingly. Of course this is easiest set by using the LokProgrammer software in the function outputs window.  Furthermore, the "alternative phase" for flashing effects has been replaced by the "phase shift" so that the starting point of the output can be freely shifted, no longer do alternating lights need to be in exact opposite phase with each other. Sensors 1 and 2 can now alternatively be defined as analog inputs (provided the locomotive's motherboard supports this). In addition, Dynamic Sound Control has been released for the first time, which enables a load-dependent sound using our Primary Load and Optional Load functionality. This feature is currently intended for LokSound users who are keen to experiment. We will provide further information very soon in the ESU forum.]]> Thu, 20 Jul 2023 19:04:00 +0200 http://www.esu.eu/en/news/read-news-entry/article/lokprogrammer-software-522-veroeffentlicht/ From now, the new LokProgrammer Software 5.2.3. is available for download. The new LokProgrammer... Software 5.2.3. contains firmware 5.7.151 for all LokSound 5 and LokPilot 5 decoders. This firmware adds two new Bits to CV 122: CV122.5 and CV122.6. Using CV122.5, you can tell the decoder to ignore the acceleration / deceleration values for sound control under analog operation. This results in more smooth DC (or AC) operation, as certain analog powerpacks have been showing big fluctuations under load. CV122.6 allows for a high frequency motor control under DC (or AC) analog operation, which results in much smoother operation for coreless and high-quality CAN motors. In addition, support for new LokSound 5 micro DCC Direct Atlas S2 and LokPilot 5 Nano DCC as well as for BLS BT9 Pilot car decoders has been added.]]> Tue, 21 Feb 2023 09:16:00 +0100 http://www.esu.eu/en/news/read-news-entry/article/lokprogrammer-software-521-und-11-neue-soundprojekte-veroeffentlicht/ From now, LokProgrammer Software 5.2.1. is ready for download. Software 5.2.1. contains Firmware... Software 5.2.1. contains Firmware 5.6.145 for LokSound 5 and LokPilot 5 decoders. This support new silicium revisons of the ARM controller we are using on the decoders. Further, the .NET framework is upgraded to version 4.8. This means that the LokProgrammer requires at lest Windows 7 (Service Pack 1) in the future. There is no longer Windows XP support. The new LokSound 5 micro DCC Direct Atlas Legacy decoder is also supported from this version. The software supports Programming on the Main ("POM") in the CV read / write menu and the decoder tester menu now. This allows to write CVs while testing the functions more easily now. We have also released 11 (!) brand new sound projects for popular german and european prototypes. As usual, you can download these from our Project website free of charge and have your locomotives sound better than ever. Enjoy LokSound 5! ]]> Fri, 20 May 2022 00:00:00 +0200
