New Obsidian Launcher Available (UPDATED 11/09/2021)

[Abrahm Lion]

Hey guys, just got my new saber today. It was a mystery saber, specifically an Electrum Wind with premium sound and rechargable batteries, however I'm having some troubles accessing the soundboard. I'm assuming I have obsidian v3 sound because I cannot cycle sounds through the saber itself, so I tried installing the mac version of the launcher and I want to go ahead and plug my saber in to change fonts, but I'm not sure if this is the current version of the launcher. What I have is the v2.45 launcher, but this thread says to use the v4 launcher... I just don't know how to access the v4 launcher, and I don't want to plug in my saber because I heard plugging in to old launchers can actually mess up the board. Any help would be appreciated.

I think you're confusing the version number of the Launcher software (v2.45) with the version number of the sound board (v4).  v2.45 is the latest version of the Launcher software (which is known as the "Obsidian v4 Launcher").  And yes, it does work with the v3 sound board.

Yeah, I did confuse those two things. Ended up figuring everything and couldn't be happier with my saber. Thanks for the reply!

UPDATED 05/21/2015: The new and improved v4 Launcher now works with v3 soundboard, v4 soundboard, and the Emerald Driver.  If you are trying to connect to any of those devices please use the v4 Launcher and NOT the v3 Launcher.  NO LONGER USE THE V3 LAUNCHER FOR ANY OPERATIONS.  

The Mac version of the v4 Launcher can be found HERE and the Windows version of the v4 Launcher can be found HERE

My launcher says V2.45, any fix?

is there any way to change the size of the font in the application itself? just too small for my aging eyes... Also curious about the options.XML file, is there a guide for tweaks?

Anyone know if there are sound fonts that we can download? or do we have to purchase that $999 Obsidian sound font item???

i vaguely recalled seeing this so had to look again - yeah, 999.99 for fonts - https://ultrasabers.com/product/obsidian-usb-sound-fonts/  i think it is set so no one will actually purchase it.
be sure to read the description - it has some you can download for free.  they are also available in other places in this forum.

They’re actually free… I “purchased’ them, and there was no charge.

Anyone using Windows 11?
I am having trouble with with the launcher saying that I do not have any fonts on my sabers.
I have used an older PC with Windows 10 and everything works fine.
Trying to see if it Windows 11 or if it maybe the USB ports on my main PC.
EDIT: These are Dimond sabers.

I'm so sorry if this is a super noob question:

May I ask what the latest launcher version is, and where the link to it is?

I have downloaded the launcher from the link, which gives me 2.89. I cannot find a link to the (I think the newest is 3.2.2 or something?) newest version. I'm unable to change my emerald saber colors. "Test Pulse" box is also greyed out/non functional.

The saber indicates that it is connected, I was able to update to the latest firmware, I am able to change sounds in the obsidian tab. I am just unable to change the colors in the emerald tab. (Yes, it is an emerald saber haha).

Don't know what I'm missing, but I am a little on the older side and not so tech-savvy. Thanks for any help in advance.
