Anyone have ideas for where we'll be able to source stab sounds for the new board? Other than sourcing from the clone wars and movies (which will probably be the only option).

 I know there are some stab sound made by other guys that would have to be purchased and converted. Other than that maybe you and I will have to figure it out,
 Maybe US will come out with some sounds for it,

Yeah, I figured about the other guys. Might be an option, but I'll do some clone wars digging once I get my hands on the board. Plenty of people get stabbed there. ::)

Did some quick scrubbing through CW episodes, basically they use the lockup sound for when someone gets stabbed, and the swing sound for a missed jab. You can probably pull a sound from a different font if you want to differentiate them from the other ones already on the saber.

Oh thanks for that, I'll see what I can find in the Battlefront audio files too.

When I think of a stab sound, I think of the Sidious - No Mercy soundfont on YouTube. The demo has the stab in and out. I'll see if I can find a similar squelching sound in BF's audio, or from CW.

I found some stuff looking around a few hours last night. I just need the new board to figure out if it will work and integrate nicely with other sounds.

Do you think these two stab sounds would work?

I think as a base yes. If I get a Diamond board I will probably layer that with slight sizzle and squelching sounds (saber against flesh). There are a ton in the BF audio files I just checked out.

The sound of anakin decapitating Dooku is what I thought of, I'll use that too.

I'm going to have to go listen to that scene again.  Layering that sounds is a great idea. Most stab sounds just aren't that impressive. It's like in the movies when they smack two boards together. After someone hits someone real hard. Because if you hit someone all you hear maybe would be your hand breaking.

Just wanted to add that, of course US will have some very cool sounds already on there.  They wouldn't not include the sounds for a new feature, I don't think. :)

Ha - that's what I was about to say.  ^  Beat me to it.

It's no guarantee, but I would be very surprised if US programmed a new Motion Detection and didn't include a single corresponding sound for it on the Board.

A good point. I'll have to see what they use as to base other stabs off of that

On the Episode1 font the clash one is often used as a stab in otherguys' fonts. Kinda a "tyip" sound. The longish sizzle sound heard in that font as well as near the end of Obi vs Maul's episode one duel. sorta like a "gawww" sound.

I just happened to download the new Diamond Launcher and took a listen to the included PFNT font files, in particular the stab, spin, and force sounds. Creative stuff, very diverse for a good "out of the box" usability. But not accurate enough for my extreme attention to detail  ;D

Here's a link to download a ton of HD stab/sizzle sounds from Battlefront, they're unmixed so it's for font creators (or anyone, really) to layer over their existing hums to beef up current fonts to Diamond level.

Spin sounds are more dependent on the swings used in each individual font, so I can't provide much in that area.

I'll probably provide a bunch of unmixed force effects soon (force jump, force push, force dash, force choke, force lightning) for people to integrate into fonts. Super easy considering all you have to do is combine each effect you want with the base hum.
