I wasn't worried. I have even considered changing the sensitivity on my v3 sound board.
Well, you are very good. My great grandfather was a painter as well, and I was lucky enough to get one of his paintings when he passed away. I don't mind looking. For the most part, I enjoy art. Whether it be painting, drawing, music or lightsabers, so feel free to show us more. Wink




Thanks Taegin!

I'm still working of these moves if anyone hasn't seen this video.

It does seem a little different than the Emerald. The Emerald Immediately lights up to full brightness. It looks to me that the Diamond takes a second to get fully lit.  I think I like it better.  It maybe the one font or the settings I really don't know yet.

Yes, I like it too! I was waiting for US to do this, and it's great to see finally see it. When I saw Emory's video I noticed it, but shrugged it off. It's great to get confirmation from a Diamond owner, so another point for ya. I hope it becomes standard, or if not, an option for non-Diamond sabers in the future.

The font menu takes a little work to figure out. Not quite as easy as Emory did it in his video. It take a few tries.

One thing that I'm fascinated by is the Accent pads on the board. It's got electrical tape around it to protect it, I haven't dared pull it apart to look at yet.
The software launcher does have a Diamond board configuration that had all the accent leds current and voltage information. I'm so excited to get my hands dirty.


From what I heard in Emory's video, the gradual power on and off can both be customized in terms of time and all of that. Really anything, like a saber sputtering to life with flickers and all that. I think he actually demoed the basic gradual power on.

That's definitely an option I want. Sabers look much less like flashlights when they have the gradual power on, and it's such a clean effect.

 It's especially nice because I can create an unstable Kylo ren blade or a synthetic crystal quick pulsing blade. I intend to make a stuttering power on for the steampunk font I made, and a custom lock up effect

Yes I bet you got some great ideas.  I think there is lots of cool stuff we can do now making your own sound fonts.  It's going to be so much fun.

That Archon looks phenomenal, love the green blade and switch too.

Thank you for the video it was really nice seeing you wield your saber in what will be everyone's natural environment.

It looks as though the covertec wheel is to the right of the switch. Did you ask for it to be moved or did it come like that?

+1 for a great post, Jediseth Cool

The covertec wheel just came that way. Was it suppose to be on the left? I'm fine with it the way it is . I tend to choke up so it doesn't really bother me either way.  I don't own a Prophecy so I may change my mind with that hilt.

How interesting 🤔

Out of all the Archons I've ever seen this is a first for the covertec wheel on that side.

Another first for you my friend on top of your Diamond saber demo Smiley

Your right Haz all the pics I have seen have the Archon covertec left of the hilt. Now I would rather have it left of the switch now I took a better look. Mine is more for a left handed person. I'm not going to fuss about it though like I said I usually coke up on the saber when dueling. But ya it's in the way when your first pushing the switch with your thumb.

Actually looking again it works out kind of nice because I can rest the bottom side of my palm on it and it gives me kind of a leverage point for holding the saber, I'm happy.

Thanks for doing a Diamond review Jediseth! I have been waiting to see one. Very cool looking Archon v 2.1. Lord Bladewraith is right, you did a great job! You should do another video after you do some configuring. I would love to see it!
May the force be with you

Thank you Jedi Sam!  I will do another. I know how to make sound fonts so maybe I will do that along with it.
