"If it's not fun, you're not doing it right"


« on: April 27, 2012, 04:00:28 PM »

hey all, i'm having an issue with my XT board.

this is my first time trying to change the soundfont on it. i converted Madcow's Shatterpoint font in Audacity and put it through the LSU converter and am trying to upload it into the saber. the problem i'm having is there isn't enough memory to hold even one of everything, let alone mulitple clashes or swings. is it just because of the font im trying to use, or did i do something wrong somewhere? the hum takes up a good half of the memory

i guess it was just that font? i have one downloading now, though still no where close to all 8 swings or clashes. i managed to fit 2 swings and 3 clashes on the board. is that fairly normal? i thought it could hold more than that

Madcow's stuff is usually pretty high quality which means it's probably significantly larger file size than the standard obsidian font.  Check the file size of the original Madcow hum compared to the Default Obsidian hum.  If there's a large discrepency then you'll have found your answer.

Cheers.

Relax.  Take out the batteries and let the board sit a 5-10 minutes.  Make sure the batteries are fully charged.  Reinsert batteries and turn it on.  If you can turn it on hook it back up to the computer and redownload the Default obsidian font.

Cheers.

i reloaded the default sound font onto it. i don't get why it wouldn't let the other ones load still... guess ill just stick with the defualt font. the rest seem too large anyway  Undecided

It's a small chip with a finite amount of memory.  If the sound fonts you tried to load were too large, you might be able to change the bit rates or sample sizes to try to get it to be more manageable.

Its not the quality, that font is actually in a lower bitrate, 22k vs Obsidian's 48k.  The problem is the length of the audio.  Some of the fonts made for other boards have hums and lockups over a minute long.  Open audacity and trim those sounds down.  A hum does not need to be more than a few seconds long if you do it right.  Clashes and impacts need only be a couple seconds.

You'll make the font fit with a little work.  Let us know how it goes.
