NOVASABER / USER GUIDE
Trying to change your lightsaber blade color? The correct method depends on the core inside your saber. Use this guide to identify your NovaSaber core and follow the appropriate color-control method.
RGB S4 and RGB S16 use physical button controls to change blade color. RGB S16 also supports a gesture method. SNV4 Pro provides a Color Palette inside its app controls. Always follow the instructions for your specific core rather than using controls intended for another soundboard.

With the saber turned on, press and hold the button for 2 seconds, then release your finger.

S-RGB / APP CONTROL

S-RGB supports multiple blade colors and App Control. The exact control sequence can differ from the RGB S4 and RGB S16 systems, so you should use the operating instructions for your S-RGB core.
For app-connected controls and compatible Bluetooth functions, use the NovaSaber Bluetooth & App Control Guide.
Important: Do not automatically use the RGB S4 or RGB S16 button sequence for S-RGB. Different cores can use different control logic.
SNV4 PRO / APP COLOR CONTROL

Use the Color Palette
After connecting your compatible saber to the app, open the parameter adjustment controls and locate the Color Palette. This is the color-control interface shown in the SNV4 Pro App Operation Guide.
The SNV4 Pro app guide also includes controls for blade effects, volume, motion sensitivity and other parameters. This guide focuses specifically on blade color.
PROFFIE V2.2 / CUSTOMIZATION
