Installing a Sound Font on the SD card
The one-stop shop for sound fonts is
www.saberfont.com
. There is a growing number
of sound fonts available at that website including all the legacy fonts from the
Novastar Sound CDs (NSCD), providing so many sound “universe” for your favorite
weapon. The board comes with 3 sound font installed in the different sound banks but
of course you might install others.
Although editing the configuration files (text
files) can be done directly onto your microSD
card, changing the SOUND FILES (.wav of ANY
kind) requires you to format the microSD card!
This is not a recommendation,
it is A
REQUIREMENT: YOU MUST FORMAT THE SD
CARD prior to changing any sound files!
1.
First thing: backup the SD card on the hard disk.
Easy to do, however most people don’t bother
doing
so
and
end
loosing
their
initial
configuration.
2.
Unzip the sound font archive in a directory of
your hard disc.
3.
Take all the WAV sounds. If the sound font zip
archive comes configuration files that are
supposed to match the theme of the sound font,
you can take it as well, but make sure the settings won’t harm anything
(especially the high-power LED current).
4.
Copy the files in desired sound bank and overwrite the files
5.
Copy the whole SD card (Ctrl+a, Ctrl+c) to a temporary folder of the hard
drive.
6.
Format the SD card in FAT (FAT16 or FAT32)
7.
Select the whole content of the temporary directory on the hard drive and copy
it in one run to the SD card (Ctrl+a, Ctrl+c, Ctrl+v on the SD drive).
If you wish to try different sound fonts quickly, copying back and forth all the files will
soon be boring and time consuming. Start by configuring your board to use
bank1
with a working SD card. Use the vocal menu to select that bank. Then, on the hard
drive, make a temporary file structure of the SD card that has only the bank1 directory
and nothing else. Use that directory to test the different sound fonts. This way you
will transfer only a limited number of files. Once the fonts have been selected, you can
store them in the different sound banks and start adjusting the parameters, which you
can now do in real time with R.I.C.E. (see further in this document).
