Woohoo!  I've been waiting for this announcement for months :D

Now we'll be able to give the Kylo Ren sabers the electronics they need :D

Assuming the electronics will fit :) CS 3 to the rescue.

Whenever you think something can't get any better - Erv proves you wrong...  :cheesy:
Now there is the awesome NB V3 and the even more awesome CF V8 - and I just recently bought the NB V2 and the buttered toast V7.5... ...that's a little bit like buying a full HD flatscreen and as soon as you installed it, you find the same model for the same price in Ultra HD...  :cry:

Geez Erv, joyeux Noël indeed! :D

Does this mean there may be an upgraded Blaster Core coming soon?

Question about the tangible, accessory based font change: So if this were to apply to Ezra's blaster/saber from Rebels, does that mean we could potentially have a slide switch with a reseistor that would change it between saber and blaster modes on the fly?? Love the versatility of this feature too!!

Now if only you would be willing to do a special run of CFs with a black PCB... wink wink nudge nudge... That would be an amazing reveal!

You're making it increasingly difficult to come up with new and unintended ways to use plecterlabs sound boards - since they are now specifically designed to do those things.  And we love you for that. :cheesy: :kiss: *smoochies*

AWESOME and then some!

I never cease to be amazed by both the community's creativity in coming up with new features to ask for and Erv's genius for brilliantly fullfilling those aspirations.
To DREAM the IMPOSSIBLE DREAM. To FIGHT the unbeatable foe. To BEAR with unbearable sorrow. To RUN where the brave dare not go. To RIGHT the unrightable wrong. To LOVE, PURE AND CHASTE, FROM AFAR [-sigh-]. To TRY, when your arms are too weary; to REACH the unreachable Star!... This is my Quest; To follow that Star, no matter how hopeless, no matter how far...

BCv5, yes, it's next in line, fighting hard to allocate time on it. As for Ezra's blaster / saber, yes, that's totally the idea. Canni's project was also a blaster saber combo thing IIRC. In his case, it was really "docking" (no other word IMO, it totally "fits", pun intended) the saber into a handle.

@Eastern : thank. You're part of those contributors with "special needs" ;-) so thank you for asking

Erv, I feel like I say this in every new release thread you make, but I can't help it. I love you, man!  :cheesy:

Huge thanks for all your work (again) Erv and happy holidays!

Really exciting new stuff this time round - loving the idea of the removable parts linked to effects, sure we'll see some ingenious applications in coming months :smiley:

Now if only you would be willing to do a special run of CFs with a black PCB... wink wink nudge nudge... That would be an amazing reveal!

This is something I'd thought of too and would be awesome to see. I guess black PCBs are premium priced, curious how much so, certainly worth paying a bit extra for for a nice, detailed innards hilt where the PCB is part of the reveal...

I'm also excitied/hoping for the next iteration of CF-LS in its own time somewhere down the line  :wink:

So with Trident, on PRIZM, would we be able to change color and soundfont simultaneously on the fly with the wrist-flick? Or change change both simultaneously while the blade is off?

prizm doesn't use any wrist flick to change the color and will not have the tangible font change (CF only)
