TOPIC: Sabercore 3.0
Sabercore 3.0 5 months 5 days ago #41115

Is there any new info on the new Sabercore 3.0? I was trying to look up any info I could find since it was announced mid last year. But everything I find leads to it having been pushed back due to the increased volume and the new ASP site. Anyone have any updates? What were some of the main features of the new soundboard? As I understand it, this was for the Champion tier sabers, it fit better in the hilts and it could be customized. What else could it do?

While there has been no announcement of a release date, the other feature that was teased was multi-font capability.

Imagine what you will know tomorrow....

There is no accuracy to the following, as it hasn't been officially announced by Saberforge.
It's likely perpetuated speculation, public opinion or non-current news. This is what resulted in a late night internet search some time ago. Also stumbled across some written words about a possible R&D for an Infinity V5 (but that's another story) Not having a Facebook Account, I saved an alleged link (on the pretence of using a friends login to verify but never eventuated) so cannot confirm if link is legitimate or accessible. Scattered recollection was a Micro USB Port that enabled colour or sound changes and FoC for a single colour Champion Tier. Andi-Jae EL, maybe this is just a repeat of the info you found? |

Yeah that's part of what I found so far. It would be nice to have FoC in a champion tier.

Well it's definitely an actual post from Phillip Isherwood, made March 2015. At the time it looks as if Sabercore 3.0 was meant to release last summer. No knowing where it's at now. He also had this to add about it's features:
This board and battery will have a much longer lifespan, I'm hoping for 5 hours in our champion sabers. It has a micro usb port for changing settings or sounds, it will have flare on clash, BUT this is a single color champion board, not a hero board, so it only supports one color and no mixing.

The only thing with that would be one of the 4 dies in the 12w setup would have to be dedicated to FoC, so your main blade color would only be 9w (unless they come out with a 5-Cree), and that would mess up some of the color options like indigo which require 3 die of one color and one of another. I personally prefer an extra intense flicker on clash (I'm not sure exactly what to call it), which is a feature on the Nano Biscotti board and I'm hoping that is what Phil meant when he said "flare on clash." Skip to about the 8:40 mark in this video to see what I mean. It's one of Shameem's Graflex 2.0 installs with a SF 12w Artic Blue and and a Nano Biscotti. |

Having a "flare on clash" would be a nice feature and enhance what the champion tier is. I would be happy with that. |

FoC in a champion tier would be great. I want FoC in my Exile,but don't want all the other options/cost of the hero tier.

I asked about an expected release date in an email a few weeks back. The reply I received indicated no planned release window for Sabercore 3.0 at this time, only that it would be released sometime this year. I recently canceled an ETSY order I placed in January in order to wait for the new soundboard, as I have another saber coming in the meantime (Graflex from VV). I'm mainly interested in the potential for increased battery live and room for a second sound font. I would imagine the earliest it would see release would be late-fall/early summer, once ASP is up and running smoothly for the general public.
