    Overview Congratulations on purchasing your SoundTraxx Blunami Digital Sound Decoder (DSD) for electric locomotives and trolleys! Blunami is the newest wave of SoundTraxx innovation and builds upon the previous generation of Tsunami2 to offer the highest quality sound for model railroading.

  • Page 5: Using Blunami

    All Aboard! Using Blunami The Blunami Digital Sound Decoder is designed to enhance your model railroading experience by giving you a wide variety of innovative features and incredibly realistic sound for your models. Some of the features discussed in this user’s guide include Dynamic Digital Exhaust for electric locomotives, Hyperdrive2 advanced motor control, Flex-Map function mapping technology, two volume mixers, independent and train brake functions and Motorman Omura sound effects.
  • Page 6 All Aboard! Ring the Bell Turn on F1 to ring the bell. Press F1 again to stop ringing the bell. The bell is generally rung before moving the locomotive, when approaching crossings, to alert people or equipment near the track, and as a warning signal when necessary. Blow the Airhorn Signaling can make your operating sessions more fun! Engineers signal to notify passengers, crew, and other trains of common locomotive movements, such as stopping, moving forward,...

Automatic sound effects respond prototypically to aspects of operation, such as certain functions, speed settings, and motor load changes. Traction Motors With the pantograph extended, the whine of the tractions motors is automatically adjusted by auto-notching and Dynamic Digital Exhaust as you operate.

  • Page 10: Cv Programming Tutorial

    All Aboard! CV Programming Tutorial What is a CV? Configuration Variable (CV) is the industry-adopted term for a decoder’s user-adjustable memory locations. CVs allow you to adjust various decoder properties and customize your operating experience. The address, audio settings, motor control, lighting effects, and function assignments are just some of the properties you can adjust with CVs.
  • Page 11 All Aboard! CV. As the bit variables can take on only one of two values (0 or 1), they are usually used to control features that are either OFF or ON (i.e., disabled or enabled). Tip: Think of bits as light switches to turn ON or OFF various features. Each bit (0-7) carries a “weight”...
  • Page 12 All Aboard! Example Let’s assume we would like to set CV 29 (Configuration Data 1) so that 28/128 speed-step mode and extended (long) addressing are enabled. We would use the following steps to calculate the value: 1. To configure these features we see that bit 1 (F0) and bit 5 (EAM) should both be ON (set to 1), with all other bits OFF (set to 0).

  • Page 14 All Aboard! Indexed CVs The term “indexed CVs” tends to cause confusion and consternation. Simply put, indexed CVs are located on ‘pages’ to help manage the total number of CVs. This is required by the NMRA DCC Standard and works like this: Indexed CVs are accessed with the use of two CVs: CV 31 enables indexing when set to a value of 16 (the default value) and CV 32 selects the desired indexed page.
  • Page 15 The CVs can be quickly reset to their factory default values. Follow the steps below to perform either a full or partial CV reset: 1. Turn on track power to the decoder. If you have a SoundTraxx CurrentKeeper ™...

    The Primary address is commonly referred to as the “short” or “2-digit” address. Enter a value from 1 to 127 into CV 1 to set the primary address. All SoundTraxx decoders are set to primary address 3 by default. When selecting the locomotive with your DCC throttle, only enter “3” into the method used to select locomotives.

  • Page 21 Basic Programming Calibrating DDE Load Compensation Blunami features a cutting-edge new version of our already revolutionary Dynamic Digital Exhaust! We highly recommend you automatically calibrate Dynamic Digital Exhaust settings before adjusting throttle and braking control CVs. This will create an amazingly accurate representation of prototypical operation.
  • Page 22 Basic Programming Set the Independent Brake Rate The independent brakes on prototype locomotives are applied separately from the rest of the train, generally during switching operations and to control slack between units. CV 117 determines the deceleration rate that will bring the locomotive to a stop when the independent brake function is turned on.
  • Page 23 Basic Programming Setting the 3-Point Speed Curve By default, track voltage is distributed to the decoder with no variation in a straight line and the decoder responds instantly to the throttle setting. You can designate the amount of voltage applied at the first, middle, and last speed step with CV 2 (Vstart), CV 5 (Vhigh), and CV 6 (Vmid) to compensate for track power or throttle control inefficiencies.
  • Page 24 Basic Programming Setting the Custom Speed Table Blunami offers a custom speed table with 28 Table D. 28-Point Speed Table Settings adjustable speed points. The 28-point custom Value % of Throttle speed table is disabled by default. However, you can enable it with CV 25 (Speed Table Enable) and CV 29 (Configuration Data 1), and then adjust each speed point with CVs 67-94 (Custom Speed Table).
  • Page 25 Basic Programming Setting Motor Trim CV 66 (Forward Motor Trim) and CV 95 (Reverse Motor Trim) are used to “trim” the forward and reverse drive voltages when the 28-point custom speed table is enabled. Setting motor trim can help compensate for speed differences between forward and reverse directions. For instance, if the throttle setting is the same in both directions and the locomotive appears to be moving faster in reverse, you can use CVs 66 and 95 to correct the speed difference.

  • Page 28 Basic Programming Phase Offset Add a value of 32 to the value of flashing Hyperlight effects to set the corresponding lighting output to Phase B from Phase A. Flashing effects set to Phase B will flash opposite of flashing effects set to Phase A, i.e., Phase A turns off when Phase B turns on, and Phase A turns on when Phase B turns off.
  • Page 29 Basic Programming Adjusting Lighting Output Settings After configuring Hyperlight effects and features with CVs 49-56, adjust CV 57 (Forward Direction Enable), CV 58 (Reverse Direction Enable), CV 59 (Hyperlight Flash Rate), CV 61 (Brightness Register 1), CV 62 (Brightness Register 2), CV 63 (Dimmer Level), and CV 64 (Master Brightness Register) to customize lighting output direction, the Hyperlight flash rate, and brightness levels.
