The rotate feature on a WOWSound decoder allows you to quickly cycle through all of the whistles, horns, or bells on the decoder. The number of whistles, horns, and bells on your decoder will vary based on the Version and type. (Steam/Diesel/OEM/etc.)
To use the Rotate feature, play a horn/whistle or bell sound, then press the Rotate button (default is 9) to begin cycling through the available sounds. When rotating horns/whistles, Audio Assist will announce the new selected horn/whistle set; Rotating bells will play a sample sound of the new bell. Once the rotate button is pressed, the new set is locked in automatically. The Rotate feature will change the entire set of horn/whistle sounds at the same time. (That includes the long, short, crossing quills, and directional quills.) The Rotate feature will rotate through the available sounds in alphabetical order.
Since there typically so many bells and horns on the decoder, you may find yourself rotating past the desired sound, or wanting to go back to a previous sound. You may use the direction key on your throttle to change the order of the rotation. For example, setting the throttle to reverse will cause the rotate feature to begin cycling through the sounds in reverse alphabetical order. You may use this to "go back" if you found something you liked and do not want to go all the way around again, or if you want to go to one of the last options in the list more quickly.
