1 ) Download the latest launcher (
Mac version or
Windows version) and install it with Administrator rights (IMPORTANT).
2 ) Download a sound font set of your choice (
https://www.ultrasabers.com/Sound-Font-p/soundfont-manual.htm for the Default Ultrasabers fonts or custom-made ones from the forum)
3 ) Unzip the downloaded sound font packages to a folder of your choice.
4 ) Turn your saber on.
5 ) Plug it into your PC (use only USB 2.0 ports!).
6 ) Wait until the driver is installed (only important when you connect it the very first time).
7 ) Run the launcher with Administrator rights (right-click -> Run as Administrator) (IMPORTANT).
8 ) Switch to the Obsidian sound board tab in the launcher.
9) Open the Sound Wizard.
10 ) Choose a bank.
11 ) Look for the folder you saved the unzipped sound fonts to.
12 ) Insert the appropiate files in the different sections, i.e. tag/boot sounds in the Tag/Boot Sounds section, lockup sounds in the Lockup Sounds section etc.
12 ) Click on "Write Sounds" on the left.
13 ) Save the different fonts on your HDD as a backup so that you don't have to do the whole procedure again. If you ever need to upload them again, you just load your compilations to the banks, not every single file.
14 ) Click "Write Sounds" at the bottom.
15 ) Wait for the files to be written to the board.
16 ) Close the Sound Wizard.
17 ) Go back to the Main tab in the launcher and click "Disconnect".
18 ) Unplug your saber.
That would be the right and approved order for uploading and/or changing the sound font on the Obsidian v3 and v4 sound boards. Be extra careful with steps 4 ), 5 ) and 6 ) - follow exactly that order, otherwise you may have severe connection and board issues! The same goes for 17 ) and 18 ) - don't unplug before you disconnected the saber for the same reasons!
