TOPIC: Turn off the Blaster sound or start-up voice?

Hey all! Quick questions that I couldn't find answers to in the FAQ or with a quick forum search.

Just got my first Saber, an Acolyte Champion Edition with the Viridian soundfont. It's fantastic, but I had some tweaks I'm hoping to make to the sound that I couldn't find any answers on.

1. Is it possible to turn off the voice that says "Saberforge Viridian" when I turn on the saber? I never want to hear this.

2. Is it possible to disable the blaster sound that plays whenever I tap the Power button while the blade is on? I keep accidentally pressing it while gripping the saber, and can't imagine any situation where I would ever want to play that sound. It's just not a sound that a lightsaber makes, and something I always have to explain to anyone who picks up the lightsaber for the first time.

3. Is it possible to disable the clash or swing sounds, and have it only play the hum? This one isn't so important, just something I'm curious about.


I suspect that I'm out of luck, since I went with the Champion version instead of the Hero one, but I figured I'd ask.

Hi Rivulet,

Firstly Congrats on your new Saber, secondly I fear you are correct in answering your own questions. To clarify though, the Champion Tier soundboard has the sounds permanently coded onto the chip and can't be edited. The adjustments you can make are based on the Motion Sensitivity, and Volume level.

You have 3 volume settings, LOW, HIGH and MUTED but the muted option switches off ALL sound.

The Motion Sensitivity has 9 levels (1 being least sensitive and 9 the highest sensitivity). This will alter how vigorously you have to swing the Saber to trigger the sounds.

The sounds CANNOT be individually muted sadly and the Boot Up sound when you pull the kill key always plays.

The blaster sound is to recreate the effect of deflecting laser fire like Luke Skywalker did on Endor in the Speederbike chase scene and on the Sail Barge in Return of the Jedi. Again this sound is not Mutable.

Thank you for reading through the FAQ's first, and may I just ask that you post a message on the "New Member's Introduction" thread to let everyone know you have joined, then more folks will be able to help you! The New Member's Introduction thread can be found HERE.

Enjoy the forum,

For Tyeth

1. No, this is the boot sound (the sound that plays that tells you the soundboard is functioning properly when turned on). On other boards that have programmable/multiple soundfonts, it also states which one is selected, but can be replaced with a short loop of silence, but it's recommended to have something so you know it's working.

2. Again, no. This is the auxiliary sound that's mapped to the activation button. On the Crimson soundboard it's Sith Lightning.

3. Perhaps if you turn the sensitivities up all the way to make them really hard to trigger.

Note that the reasons 1 and 2 aren't available are that the Sabercore boards aren't programmable, but the trade off is that the volume, flicker speed, swing and clash sensitivities can be adjusted in hilt on the fly without having to to plug into a computer

Excellent, thanks for the quick answers, everyone!

A little practice and I stopped hitting the blaster sound by accident, so I should be all good.

I don't have my saber yet but I already hate this "blaster sound".
Everyone says it's a deflecting sound but it isn't. It's just an AT-ST or an speeder bike shooting.

I would be happy to turn it off too if it was possible. But anyway, I know it will not ruin the experience of having a lightsaber hehe.

Guess in the future I'll buy a Hero tier so I can have some customization.
