SD card contents, Sound Banks and Slots
Sounds are stored in the WAV format (16 bits, 22050 samples per second).
WAV sound files must comply with the format above or they will be skipped
during the boot, leading to sound gaps or board failure.
Petit Crouton PRIZM can have up to 6 sound banks. This allows storing different
“style” in the same saber. Each sound bank is stored on the SD card in the sub-
directories (or folders)
bank1
to
bank6
. The contents of a bank is called a Sound
Font
Each sound bank has 32 sound slots split as below :
up to 4 boot sound (
boot[2-4].wav
)
1 power on sound (
poweron.wav
)
1 power off sounds (
poweroff.wav
)
continuous humming (
hum.wav
)
up to 16 clash sounds (
clash1.wav
to
clash16.wav
)
up to 16 swing sounds (
swing1.wav
to
swing16.wav
)
4 blaster blocking sound (
blaster.wav
to
blaster4.wav
)
1 blade lockup sound (
lockup.wav
)
1 force effect sounds (
force.wav
)
1 color profile transition sound (
color.wav
). If this sound isn't present in the
font, the
force.wav
sound will be play in place.
When the power supply voltage is applied to the board, our board “boots” and plays a
little logo sound to notify the user, just like a digital camera. This little logo makes
sure the Petit Crouton Saber Core started properly and it gives a special identity to the
saber and to the loaded sound font. This sound can be of course customized. If the
boot sound
boot.wav
is not on the SD card, a little beep is played instead. If you
don’t want any sound when powering the module, create a WAV sound file with 100
ms of silence.
The sounds
must
be all there on the SD card and be named properly (lower case) to
have the module operating properly. Same thing for the configuration files (
.txt)
. In
case of losing files, the original package of sounds and configuration file are available
from Plecter Labs on request.. We advice the user to keep all its sound and
configuration files in specific folders on the hard disk on the computer so that
changing the saber’s contents remains easy. Use some explicit naming of the folders
so that you can easily remember what the sound font and configuration files are
doing, for instance
[very_sensitive_dark_lord_saber]
.
