How many sound fonts on Obsidian v4?

Salutations, friends and neighbors....

Just out of curiosity, and I apologize if this has been answered elsewhere but I couldn't find it, roughly how many sound fonts can you upload on the Obsidian v4 sound board, in addition to the 8 that it comes pre-loaded with?  I know it holds 16 megs worth of files, so I guess it depends on how big the sound files are, but what's the average amount of files that it holds?

The answer is zero. You don't add files, you replace/overwrite them.

There are 8 sound banks available, with each bank having a slot for ignition, impact, lockup, shut down, swing, and idle (and maybe more that I cannot remember at the moment, but I think that's it). The maximum number of font files that can be on the board is 48 (provided I'm remembering the correct number of slots).

If you want to change one of the sound fonts, you replace/overwrite what was there previously, as opposed to just adding a new file to the board. Which is one of the reasons it is HIGHLY recommended that you make backup copies of your files BEFORE you overwrite them, just in case.

And technically it only comes with 7 sets of fonts pre-loaded, as the Mute font is simply an empty sound bank. There aren't any actual files for it.

Ahhhh, okay.  Point incoming to you sir, thanks.

I'll have to watch the How To videos on the Obsidian software and get comfortable with it before I start messing around with it, but i'm sure making backup copies of the existing fonts and switching them out can't be that difficult.

It's not difficult. Here's a good "how to" for backing up the files: http://www.saberforum.com/index.php?topic=43762.0

When i try and write a new sound font, Obsidian board tries to delete all the current files on the board, i just want to change one file not lose them all.
