So how would I make my swings faster? I want my Bellicose almost movie like. Faster swings and impacts only when blades clash. Thanks for any help. Should be getting me a new battery and charger set here soon so I can start playing around with my Bellicose again. I don't want the swings too fast though but just slightly. I'll mostly be using the TOR font.

do you mean faster sounds and responses from the sound board for the fonts??... or do you mean actually spinning your saber faster?

Just faster responses from the main swings. Mines set kinda low right now and I don't really know how to make the swings faster. My Bellicose is dead right now though until I can get new batteries but any help early would be great. I have the impacts the way I like it though.

Try adjusting the motion threshold and/or the motion integration time via the launcher...the lower the setting the better will the detection be.

This along with a physically short sound clip will give this effect. We'll see if I can get some of the sounds you sent to me to do this, Zren.

I have been looking into this for a while and with advice from Eerokk I have found my solution was to modify the Swing/Motion sound fonts with Audacity sound editor reducing the time but not to chop the sound font down, making sure the pitch stays the same. Then converting them to LSU files. It has worked for me as my favorite font is the Black Star which goes well with my Sith Manticore/Guardian (Manticore with Guardian pommel).

Also to make changes to your motion threshold etc which I also got from a post by Eerokk.

That's the secret right there! It's just a trim of a few milliseconds but it makes all the difference! Great news, Unubis! DS point!

Many thanks Errokk. You are the master of sound and following your advice has helped me. As well as Emorys advice on connecting my saber to the pc properly.

How do you import the sound files into audacity?

I got it figured out finally. I think the impacts might be kinda touchy though but I like my settings where they're at. And I forget how you import files to original .wav to audacity. Been awhile.

It's been my experience that you're never gonna have movie quality SFX unless you hire a foley artist. On factory settings, my sabers' motion sound goes off just from me walking. Don't get me wrong, the Obsidian Board does a fantastic job, considering that all the sensors are right there on the board. But the blade isn't what's making the sound. Until we get real ones, just keep dreaming.
