Always love your excellent production quality Jon! 👍🏻
Thanks bro!
Disney has billions but can’t give us anything like this
True, for what the Disney Parks sabers go for, you'd think they would at least have smooth-swing and infinite colors, but no. You're stuck with one sound font, one color, no smooth-swing, etc... that you can buy from reputable saber companies for about the same amount, than what the Disney sabers cost. (LGT Sabers/Damien Sabers is the manufacture of the Xeno sound boards, including this newer V3 w/ app)
Honestly I'm glad. We have people starting businesses of their own to sell to the fan base and make a great living out of it. Disney would never do it right because it's run by profit margins.
Actually so true compare replica proffie sabers to Disney and there is no contest
Most underrated factual comment 🔥🙏
Thanks for taking the time to set up the lighting so that we can see the blade properly. So many saber videos are either shot in the dark so the saber blows out the image or shot in the bright so that the blade looks disappointing and dim.
It’s a hard balance. No one is ever happy with ether direction of exposure hahah. It’s to dark, it’s to light hahahha
im hoping that they have the option to add new fonts to the saber via the app at some point
Would be nice!
Thanks for this review! I’ve been anxious to see what is new and in detail 👍🏽
I just got a V3 today and playing around with it, I found that several blade styles/ignitions are off, so you have to plug it into your PC to change the "config" settings to turn on other effects like "torch mode" or other cool blade effects. That's why you're getting "broken ignition" multiple times. Same thing with the "track", you need to have a sound file in the font that plays music or whatever's named "track" in the files.
Hi, can I ask, how to do that? I just got my xenopixel V3 and I don't want to broke it
I hope they will set it up so we can customize our own fonts , that would be awsum.
Perfect in-depth first look! 👏🏼👏🏼
Thanks!
You’re intros on the replica sabers are so dope and high quality. This app would hopefully encourage them to quickly add even more features on the hilt boards. Also do you think they’d be able to add on the fly firmware update for the board through the app in future?
Thanks! Yeah that is the hope that everything can be done on the app. At least that’s what we can hope.
Awesome 👌 thanks for the indepth look 😊
No problem 👍
Glad found this video well worth the little extra to get a v3
I just got my V3 core today, and I've had a blast playing with the app, and changing things around. This is going to be a game changer. Especially with all the updates that are coming up
Agreed. Right now it’s fun but hoping for some fun updates. If they do it right this may give proffie a run for it’s money haha
Hey if I can ask , who did you buy it from?
@@TheCollectorsOutpost Guess you should have also put a hashtag for Vaders Sabers, lol.
Jon, nice review. I've been on the fence because I like the jade 2...but this makes it easier to use. Question- can you do a video on handling it? Set the counts stuff up, or have someone off camera setting stuff while you you some tip drag- smooth swing, clash on etc? I think I may buy one today. The Bluetooth option is the way to go.
Hey! I’m doing my standard unboxing and review for t this Dooku saber this week. Took me a bit to get to it because I have been away for a couple weeks. But I’m back to reviews on Monday
Ok thank you sir! Ive been out of town and behind on my videos for a year...lol. One more thing. I heard the software is Iphone based only. For all bluetooth Sabers... Any word on that? There are over 500 millions android phones. 200 million of them are probably $1k or more. I mean ...thats a no deal for me. And the sofware and the way you explained it makes it way more precise. You showed us that, and now, it makes it almost unforgivable for anyone to see tbis and not get it partially for the software. Which is a compliment to your videos...thank you in advance for your reply!
@@brandonw007 IT IS ON ANDROID PHONES AS WELL
hey jon! loved the video but i just had a quick question. do soundfonts from places such as kyberphonic or ksith still work to download onto this even tho the fonts are usually made for xeno v2? thanks!
KYBERPHONIC I know has made all his sounds Xeno v3 ready now.
Do app changes write to the config file?
And if yes, do they save per font properly?
Broken ignition comes up multiple times for all the blade modes (ghost, velocity, blaster mode) that are turned off in the config file by default.
This is the only sound board I'm using now! No more Golden Harvest or Proffie! Thanks for this walk through!!!
Your welcome!
They added some new updates that give it more ignition options now.
I'm guessing you need to have a Xenopixel v3 Soundboard with audio tracks installed already in order for the the track to to work.
Hopefully in the future they'll be a feature to download additional sound fonts along with audio tracks & maybe even more ignitions types & blade color patterns!
I can easily see this having all the features of a Golden Harvest in the future!
The only three I use are: CFX, GH 3, and Xeno3. All awesome boards!!
Just ordered my v3 saber, can’t wait to get it! Question, can you save presets with the app so you can quickly load favorites?
No user preset saves section.
Hello there, Jon. Excellent tutorial.
I have a question - do the app settings overwrite the config file settings that were previously stored on the micro SD card?
In other words, once you set your saber to how you want it to be via the app, are those new settings now on the micro SD card? Thank in advance.
Hey. I don’t have that answer just yet
@@TheCollectorsOutpost Okay, much thanks. I am having trouble connecting the app to the saber even though the saber will connect to my phone via bluetooth. But... the app cannot find my saber while it is searching for it. Weird...
Just got my Kylo Ren saber with the Xeno V3 and it's so much nicer having the app to really dial in what you want compared to the V2 where you have to keep cycling through all the fonts, blade effects, and volume with just one button and twisting the handle.
Agreed. Having the app makes is so much smoother
Cool video, but I’m just asking, where did you get that triple lightsaber stand?
Amazon
Thank you
App looks fab, how are the swings sounding now? Great review also 😊
Accent swings and all. I’ll have a full review in a couple weeks for the saber it self soon as I’m back from vacation.
Hey man! Great video, I had a question, so Ive seen some websites have it as “Xeno3” and others as xenopixel v3, im just wondering if those are the same thing right?
Yep same, Xeno3 is Xeno v3
@@TheCollectorsOutpost awesome, thanks for the quick reply as well :)
My rgbx base lits dont connect to the xeno app consistently.
I have got them to connect and function a couple times but it is really touchy and yes they are all up to date.
What gives?
This is fucking crazy!!! Thanks Jon for your amazing job here.
Your welcome!
Ciao Jon, I have another one question: how much deep is the blade in the hilt? Do you feel it solid during spin? I have many LGT sabers and sometime the blade assembly in the hilt is not so deep (like on Kylo one).
Does this kind of blade handle a light battle between lightsabers? I mean for a simple presentation for a birthday party. Awesome video by the way!
Should be ok for very light dueling.
Love the content.
Thanks!
I had ordered my Count Dooku version 3 from Korbanth, even knowing that some installs they do sometimes aren't 100% to the customers' liking. It took over a month to get to me and I was kind of disappointed in the electronics install. The chassis is a bit heavy (making it tiring to duel with), the in hilt connector for it is not mounted, but only held in place by the chassis pushing against it and the chassis connector is 4 brass or copper plates that bend really easily. Since I just ordered the SN-pixel Darksaber from VS, I'll see how its build quality is and maybe if I like it enough, I'll buy from them more.
I hear that a lot about Korbanth installs. I have 1 from Korbanth. Hilt is made great. It’s a kENOBI hilt and I had to add a bunch of rings to the pommel to click the covertech in the right place. Then add a bunch more rings inside the pommel to push the core back up to connect the. Glue the threads so stuff won’t move around. I’m not a fan. You spend $800+ on something like this and it should be 100% perfect. I learned my lesson on custom sabers. I don’t get them any more.
@@TheCollectorsOutpost Yeah, next time I'll just buy an empty hilt and get a Saber Smith to do the install.
@@chalion8399 yeah that may be the better option.
@@TheCollectorsOutpost I just took apart my Count Dooku again and figured out the problem. Along the spine is that claw attached to the long bar that goes from the emitter to the pommel. Mine is held in by 4 socket screws and a set screw(for blade retention). It looks as if the socket screws are different lengths and the longest should have been for the emitter connector, because it has a threaded hole. It looks like it missed by a millimeter and instead glanced off the connector. I have the emitter lined up and the screw is now holding that connector in place.
Very annoying.
I was wondering why the plates on the chassis were twisted, now I know why, it was mis-aligned.
Is there a way to save the volume level? I hate that the volume is at 100% every time you turn on your saber. V3 seems to be extremely loud compared to V2
Not that I know of. But updates should be coming soon. Yeah, agree. Even in my full review on the Dooku saber I said it’s just so loud. Maybe a better quality or bit larger speaker would make that sound better that that volume. I run it at least at 50% because it almost sounds like the speaker is distorting at much more than that volume
My question is, 1) Do they have accent swings like proffie? 2) Do they have the force sound effects like proffie?
Yes to accent swings I’ll have a full saber review for this next week. Force sounds, yes and you can hear some in this video
So does saber theory have the same effects for their xenos
Recently bought the LS1 from Padawan Outpost. It came with a xeno v3. noticed we have the same problem with "broken Ignition". It repeats on the app and it also doesn't show the other ignitions like scavenger and hunter ignition.
Yeah I’m hoping the manufacturer of Xeno will fix the coding. I think it’s the Xeno chip it self now and not the app. When I flip through the ignitions on the saber with out the app it’s the same thing. So I thing the Xeno v3 chip will need a firmware update. (I think)
@@TheCollectorsOutpostsame problem
Mine happened before i even conneted to bluetooth. Has there been a fix yet.
Is there any way to make the blade two colors at the same time ?
No not that I know of at least right now. Just solid colors and some effects
Is there a way to make the saber retain the volume level of it’s last use? Always starting at 100% is a little bit of a pain
It that I know of
I accidentally pressed the factory reset button on the app, and now my saber does not show any colours, what do i do?
Factory reset. May have changed it to RGB firmware. When you open the app and connect to the saver, click the bottom right icon, then click on your saber and then look for firmware click that and change it to pixel.
Can you somehow deactivate the font change ability? The one that when its vertical and you twist it, it changes fonts
you can turn off the twist on and off feature but not sure off hand if that will effect the font change.
Hey, just a question, does the xenopixel v3 saber have motion detection for tip drag and wall melt? I don’t get the tip drag effect when i drag it on the floor. + It’s not that bright and noticeable.
If you are not seeing it you may need to adjust your blade size in the app on the second page
Ty, changed it and it looks amazing!
I got a Xenopixel v3 but is it possible to add custom sound and blade fonts i want a slower blade out and some other cool sound fonts.
Sound fonts yes blade speed and ignition no
so no changes besides bt addition? is the smooth swing any better and closer in performance to proffe?
It has accent swings. I’ll be doing a full unboxing review on the Xeno soon as I’m home from vacation. But as of right now, accent swings and app are the big upgrades for Xeno and I believe more are coming that you can load in from the app (I think)
@@TheCollectorsOutpost awesome! I just bought the anakin ep2 one after your review and used your coupon code. Russell is also putting in the xeno v3 in for me!
Hey I just got this in the mail like last week. I'm going to make a neopixel blade, is there a diagram I can follow online?
I’m sure there’s videos on TH-cam. Check Civilized Sabers channel. I believe he did a few blade builds.
Hi there, do you know if this works for the newer V3 baselit cores? i can get mine to connect to the app but cannot access functions like volume control, font select etc. I know it wouldnt do any of the blade customisation but it wont even switch the hilt on when you press the power on button in the app?
I don’t see why it wouldn’t as the baselit has a bunch of feathers but I don’t really know.
@@TheCollectorsOutpost Thanks for replying. Yeah i can get it to connect but cannot access anything. Im really just wanting to turn down the internal volume abit as these new V3 cores are really loud! even in the in-hilt low volume setting. Dont want to blow the speaker out
question what is the diff froma Xenov3 & a XenoPixelV3
Nothing .some say xeno v3 and others say the full name xevo pixel v3
@@TheCollectorsOutpost ok cuz i see videos of them talking about Xeon3 showing how its almost like the proffie but then sho videos of the Xeonpixel V3 showwing something diff. the reason im asking cuz im very disappointed with the SNV4 Pro. the blaster effect looks like a saber from disney. Melt is in the middle then bing at the tip which in videos i see people saying the Xeon3 you can program it to be in the tip blasters is the full blade like proffie. and setting to colors is way better. SNV4 Pro has no battle mode but Xeon3 do and Xeonpixel v3. its just hard cuz i purchase my sabers off aliexpress cuz i can get it way cheaper. but the name the have is confusing
The track its no avaiable yet ?😢
I'm having a problem where whenever i try to change the main blade length on the app it resets to 1. Cant find a way to fix it.
Try to delete the app and reinstall. Beside that I have no idea
I received a saber that says SD card not installed when I try to turn it on. I was told by the saber store to download this app and it will update the saber but the saber will not connect via Bluetooth when I try to find it with the app. You wouldn't happen to know how to fix this? All the saber does is continually "say" SD card not installed, over and over again. I appreciate the help. The saber people don't seem to want to send me a new one or refund me so I am trying to fix it on my own. Thanks!
Hit me up on my Instagram
Does the charge for you too just goes down a lot and then on reconnecting it goes back to normal?
Not sure I noticed anything like that. Also make sure to update all firmware for your saber in the app.
I see that sometimes on my sabers
How long of a blade does the app support? The max blade length is 144 but my lightsaber doesn’t need all of that. I also don’t know what the numbers are supposed to represent. They don’t seem to match cm or in.
The numbers represent number of pixels (LEDs) and can be adjusted from 36inch blades all the way down to just a a few inch’s.. so any size blade.
My 36” seems right at around 129
Dude it’s the future!!
Next year 2024, mind control saber. 2025 A.I. Sabers
@@TheCollectorsOutpost 😂
The directions say if you point down and twist there are sound music fonts, anyone confirm ?
I don’t think any music is installed on the sabers be default. There used to be on xeno v2. It was a simple twist.
Amazing
Hello when i want to connect my saber its saying “connection overtime” can someone pls help me
Try to restart your phone. That happen to me a couple time but after I reboot it was find. If it still happens connect the seller I’m sure they can help
Wish they added more blade styles
I think a lot of stuff is coming from what I understand.
What is the difference between the xeno v3 and the sn xeno v4 that I am seeing on the kestis v2 saber? I'm trying to make sure I'm getting the correct electronic selection.
Xenopixel and SNpixel or made by two different companies. The sabers virtually do the same things. Same blade styles, easy to load on fonts. If you put an SN4 kENOBI in my left hand and a Xeno KENOBI in my right hand they would be almost identical.
@@TheCollectorsOutpost Thank you for answering, do they both have access to the app that you are showing above in the video?
This is the Xenopixel app. Will only work with Xenopixel. SNPixel v4 has its own app that seems to only work on android phones right now from what I understand.
@@TheCollectorsOutpost I just pulled the trigger on the Kestis V2 with the snpixel core. . . . Thankyou for posting about the app options. Thats what made the big difference between Vaders Sabers and Darkwolf. I've been on the fence between the two for for about 6 weeks now! I can hardly wait!
Question if I add more fonts on the sd card in the saber will it show up when I use the app to change font?
Yes as long as you do it right. SD card and in the config code.
@@TheCollectorsOutpostthanks so much
If I have a preset font picked, then I started changing stuff on the app, will this save over the preset font?
Nothing on the app will Effect the sound font it self that’s on your SD card.
@TheCollectorsOutpost I mean rather the blade style or color for example
My app doesn’t look like this. I realize the video is a year old but why can’t I adjust the color of the blade or see battery percentage/time remaining? Also does anyone know what it means when it says “more function awaiting”?
The app just got an overhaul recently.
They took away the battery power. And the color is hidden in the tab over the crystal. It’s a stupid design.
Are audio tracks not enabled by default?
So far I have not been able to get them to work but this app is new and they are still working on features so they maybe be coming
Does the app only work with Vadersabers?
Xeno v3 sabers
I know it adds accent swings, but I read someone else that the v3 also adds end drag/lockup, melt, spins, the ability to omit blade modes/styles that you don't want, and some other stuff similar to Proffie. Is that not the case, or is it that you have to set that stuff in the config file rather than the app for now?
I have not seen anything to turn off modes or blade settings just yet. Maybe it will come and I don’t see why not.
I have to unscrew the bottom of my saber to expose the core to get Bluetooth to work.
That’s strange
i can't seem to connect to the app, what is the name of the lightsaber in your bluetooth? Is there a something I need to do to put the saber in bluetooth discovery mode?
Phone Bluetooth on, the saber turned on, open app and connect. If that don’t work contact who you got it from they may be able to dig in the problem more.
@@TheCollectorsOutpost thanks. I figured out the issue. I didn’t have Bluetooth permission turned on for the app 😅
I want to ask this quite bluntly before I decide to go online and buy one.
Does it sound like a cheap crappy Chinese speaker or does it actually sound like a real lightsaber humming in my hand because anyone who tries to record the sound makes it sound like a crappy Chinese speaker with blown out sound.
Only way to know is by getting one. Each one sound different due the the design and resonance of the hilt and placement of the speaker. I have changed out the so called cheap Chinese speakers as you say in a few of them to some higher quality speakers and the improvement on sound quality hasn’t wowed me in any way. A lot of it also comes from the audio processing from the board. I have the same hilt with GHV3x SNv4 and Proffie, same hilt, all sound different from the boards. Up front my least favorite sound quality is Xeno v3. Soooo only way to know, is getting one.
I’m having an issue where the saber says “app connected” but the app says “connection overtime”. Any idea why this may be happening? Thanks
Haven’t seen that before. I have had connectivity problems and uninstalled it and reinstalled it. That helped me.
If you find a solution, please let me know. I am having the same problem.
@@pmatts1335I contacted my seller and he said that there might be a bug with the app. He said it is still in beta so they are most likely working on it. I’m going to give it a few days before I reach out again.
Hello I just got a.XENOv3 You know where to get the app thanks?
Hey. The app is in the description of this video
I wonder if all their sabers are now like this for Xeno
Hello there, You can request xeno v3 in the note when ordering.
Anakin saber here i come!
I don’t know if anyone else has had this issue but I can’t adjust my blade length. Weird
I think you have to update the formation the hilt. You can do that right from the app. I had the same problem.
@@TheCollectorsOutpost oh what section of the app is that in?
Xeno configurator is actually 1000x better than the Electrum Sabercrafts Bluetooth/app. Plus, their Bluetooth does NOT work on ALL phones...... information they left out. My Darksaber w/Xeno3 is AWESOME!! Already one of my favorites in my collection;))
My cell phone is Andoid. is it compatible with the application?
There is one. Look for XSaber in your App Store.
Does this app work with every xenopixel lightsaber?
Xeno v3
Can you do rainbow blade?
Yes
IT'S ALL WELL AND GOOD TO USE YOUR PHONE I HAVE SNPIXEL 4 AND V3 WITH BLUETOOTH I WOULD RATHER USE MY HAND THAN USE THE PHONE IT'S POINTLESS NOT A GAME CHANGER FOR ME
