Traditional throttle mode is how sound decoders of the past would "traditionally" operate, where the prime mover notch is related directly to the speed, every (n) speed steps (of 128 speed steps) is a different notch, so the faster you go the higher the notch you will be in.
The speed setpoints that the prime mover changes notches are controlled by CV165 through CV172 where CV165 controls when the locomotive goes into Notch 1 and CV172 controls what speed step the locomotive goes into Notch 8 By default TCS WOWSound decoder operate in Prototype Mode.
Traditional throttle mode is also available though and can be selected using Audio_Assist® menu 4.1 or by programming CV147 Throttle Type
