Well Rod has got me, I've been waiting since early Dec. But I'm ahead of the line with Kevin....

Sooooo....its July 26th and still no decoder. That October date is coming up real fast, like Greg predicted.

I'd hate to be in Tony's shoes on this. I already paid for my decoder in Dec. and I'm sure a lot of us have already paid for their stuff. He is going to get a stock of these at some point and probably all of them will go out and he wont get any revenue off them, since the money was collected long ago. Not that I think Tony's is going to go "belly-up" from this, but just an observation.

I just need mine under warranty, it might be longer when I sent it in, Just dont care to check on it lol. Sent Tony another email, was told drum rolllllllllllll "should be in two weeks" again. I can see a delay here and there, but this is ridiculous at this point. Heads should roll! LOL. Bad business and lost sales for this.

I had a talk recently with Tony. He said the HO versions were shipping, so now we know the silicon is done (the custom microprocessor at the heart of the system).

He said the G scale board was in layout (figuring out where the components go on the board).

So we are getting closer. No news if the firmware for the G scale is finalized, but if it's any indication, the G scale firmware was basically the same as the HO scale one.

This (delays) went on when the Aristo and Magnum sound decoders were to come out. Shipment from China is beyond his control and it would just be better if he just announced that they will be available "some day' and left it at that.

Aristo normally announces a loco 6 years before it comes out, so this is not unusual.... there's lots of different reasons for announcing dates that cannot be kept.

Anyway, I predicted October, and I think we will make it, but we will see.

Not going to hold my breath on that date either. This has been on going now for over 2 years of revisions. Sounds like AC all over again promise but can not deliver. Why bother to even post that they are coming in two weeks. Ha every time you ask it's two weeks. Better to say nothing than to keep everyone hanging.

I was messing with the new QSI software yesterday, and I really can't see what't different. Maybe Im just confused.

When the Titan decoders come out, will there be all new sound files? or the same sound files they used with the "magnum" deconder?

The sound files you get with the latest software are mostly the same, with some new ones available.

It's not clear how you are supposed to implement the much touted "stereo" feature. I kind of assumed you would be able to set up two speakers, and then "pan" the sounds. But there's nothing in the Q2 Upgrade software that suggests this.

Yes they are recording all new sound files for their engines, they will be of higher quality and have more options to take advantage on the increased memory available on the Titan boards.
They will also have the ability to alter there sound using the new built in equalizer allowing you to add more base or treble as you like.
The new multi speaker stereo effect will allow you to direct what sounds come from which speakers, for instance if you have a Dash-9 and two speakers you can have the engine sounds coming from the rear speaker and the horn/bell coming from the front ones, I think it is a cool idea for the longer engines.

I've replied to lownote's questions on the other QSI thread... look at the version 2.0 software a bit more closely, the "balance" between speaker 1 and speaker 2 is in there... no luck finding the equalizer yet.

Greg when I was working with John at QSI industries in Oregon, trying to get my USA Trains GG1 fixed right, he made it sound like the G scale versions of the Titan boards will have more features in the new sound files, like the equalizer built into the new sound files because it will have more memory (8 megs) than the smaller boards. He also told me that they were in the process recording all new sound files for the Titan G scale boards.
I don't think any of the "New" stuff is ready yet because he said that it will be called Q3 and I only saw Q2 stuff available for DL right now.

But I may be wrong as it seams everything about the Titan seems to be a fluid situation.

There's a new version of the software out just this evening 2.1.0.0 .... have not seen what is changed yet... what we need is a Titan master sound file... but none for download yet.

I'll see what I can come up with.
