Good point Yoda, right moment to sup up the differences :
Kit fisto saber :
- Crystal Focus V1
- 8 bits sounds / single sound bank / 8 swing sounds / 8 clash sounds / power on-off sounds / hum / blaster / lockup
- low battery LED
- force feedback rumbling motor
V2 major addons:
- 16 bit sounds. Clearer. More "accurate" sounds. No background quantification noise (well, hard to hear it anyway when the hum was played, on V1).
- 4 differents selectable sound bank. Each one can be of course populated with the sounds you like. Each bank has a sound to describe it so that you can difference them when browsing the banks. Vocals like "dark side sounds" etc.
- boot sound. The default one says "yes my master". My next hilt will have a little electronic sound used to symbolize an holocron. Found that one in a famous video game (JA).
- Individual configuration file PER bank. Not only with the selected bank the saber will sound in a particular way, but will behave differently as well, depending on the configuration file settings.
- bargraph and blinking LEDs sequence. Additionnal config file to setup the sequencer. Individual LED sequence config file per sound bank. Tons of possibilities from static patterns to random patterns with K2000 effects right in the middle ;)
- improved responseness between motion / sounds. Divided by 2 the latency. Only 30 ms for a clash.
- FORCE PUSH effect ! (YES !)
- dynamic pitch shifting on swing sounds
- orientation of the blade can control pitch of hum & blade lockup (so cool to change the pitch when bending under the pressure of the opponent's blade during a blade lockup !)
- reboot the saber with the aux button. Sounds like a gadget but : allows you to reboot the saber to go back to the bank selection menu. No need to power off the module. Like all the described Fx, it's possible to make this optional, in case you want to avoid for sure rebooting the saber while standing for photo sessions. However, note that you must do a "complex" combo to reset the saber. Aux button pressed during 3 sec. Little beep. Release and press again within 3 sec, or reboot will be cancelled. Works ONLY with blade OFF ! (can't happen during a fight).
Well, I might sound like saying things that were listed in the first post of this subject, but I hope it helps anyway !
