History

The first-generation MS sound decoders were introduced in 2019, as successors to the long-standing MX decoders. The core of the MS sound decoder is a 32 bit ARM microcontroller with DSP characteristics and generous memory.

  • 16-bit audio by default, 8-bit for simple noises and older sample files.
  • 22 kHz sample rate by default, with 11 kHz for simple noises (like station announcements) and 44 kHz for full HiFi quality
  • 128 Mbit sound memory for 360 seconds playback time (16-bit sound and 22 kHz)
  • Sixteen audio channels, simultaneously playable, separately adjustable, with stereo decoders (especially large scales) distributable to two loudspeaker outputs
  • Adjustable timbres for driving noises (e.g. chuff sounds, diesel engine) via CV configuration of high and low pass filters
  • Overcurrent protection for function outputs
  • Connections for larger external energy storage devices
  • ZIMO HLU
