This comment's accuracy is unsubstantiated.
If I am not mistaken, the Hero Tier uses a Spark Color 2 Soundboard.
Spark Color 2 info on NECs website announces an upgraded version called the R2 or SC2-R2. One of the features eliminates the "accidental" colour change on an RGBA+ during dueling by changing the way blade colours are altered. i.e. rather the default axis twist motion, it incorporates an aux/av consecutive button press to be achieved.

You are correct, I forgot about that option, the default is still the twist, but you can set it up so that you have to hold the aux button and twist.

How big is the difference of the colour tapering off between the two?

Honestly the "tapering" is about the same, the RGBA is less bright all over, but the tapering looks the same relative to the brightness

Brilliant!
So the ones for sale now in hero tier all have this feature? Makes much more sense to have tonpress the button for a change rather than just a twist. Guess i will stick with this option now.

Yes it's a feature of the board they use in the Hero sabers.
You can configure just about anything for it in the software.

This upgraded spark color -R2....
Is that what currently comes with hero tier or is it a simple software upgrade?
Can anyone else verify that this holding down the aux button while twisting is currently available on shipping models?

Yes, the Hero tier uses the Spark Color 2 board. It is a completely different hardware platform from the Champion tier Sabercore boards, which are smaller and cannot really be customized.

Here's the Spark Color 2:

But the above post noted an "r-2" version. I assumed this meant a revised software update. So often they can just be downloaded

OH. That's what I get for not reading all of the context.

Sounds right: "The upgrade to SC2-R2 is a free download-able upgrade. You simply need to download the new default files for SC2-R2 when it becomes available, and your board will be able to support the new features."

However, if you are using RGB/RGBA on a blade with quillions, a hardware change will be necessary: "Using X-Saber does require the new XDrive module, which is just a bit bigger than the newest TruDrive module, coming in at about 0.85" x 0.41"."

Cool. Thanks dor clarifying. Sounds like a much needed addition for this twist color switching problem. Would allow you to bypass the whole sensitivity issue

I can confirm the aux twist option does Not work by default.
I downloaded the default file set last night and I'll give that a try to see if it will work.
