Thread: Sound font file size (wav)

  1. #1

    Default Sound font file size (wav)

    Just wondering, how much memory does one sound font usually take up if it is in wav format?

    Thanks.

    Usually under 5 MB. A "sound font" is actually a collection of sound files.

    "Yeah, yeah, I've heard it all before... you want blindingly bright, super loud, running 1138 blinkies off of the cheapest sound card you can find AND you want all of it to run on a battery the size of a dime, and run for a very, VERY long time. That one cracks me up every time..."

    Got it. Thank you. So 16megs should hold around three sound fonts.

    Assuming you can find a 16 MB SD card. The current sound boards will take up to a 16 *GB* SD card. There's no shortage of room for fonts there.

    I'm not using the typical saber soundboards. I'm using something different that has 16mb of on board flash, in conjunction with a micro-controller. Why? Well I feel like a saber is a form of expression, and I want it to be as much my own creation as possible, so I am doing things unconventionally. The sound cards are really nice but it feels like someone else is doing all the important work in building the saber.

    I wish you the best of luck. It can be fun tinkering with your own electronics. If that's what you enjoy, then have at it.

    I know just how you feel. Good luck.
