What color(s) are you thinking? What kind of a pulse, all pixels together or a rolling type of pulse? Do they go completely black or just dim?
The larger pixel array (blade) should be a yellow color. The other blades will be red. I think I could adjust it after for the other font or if it needs to be tweaked.
I think all at once. The blade will be a mix of a large pixel ring and a single in the middle.
Completely off.
OK, do you want the colors editable (Edit Mode/Workbench, using BASE_COLOR_ARG) or you’ll just mod the code yourself?
I will mod the code. I haven’t used edit mode or workbench much, so I am unfamiliar.
Here, give these a try, see the comments on the first style for the sounds it’s expecting, for the control layer to work you’ll need to use my prop. Let me know if you need info on the prop.
Style 1 (for main - this has the control layer, only one style per preset can contain a control layer)
/* copyright Fett263 Custom Pulse with Idle Sound (Primary Blade) OS7 Style
NOTE: This style includes Control Layer. Only one Control Layer should be used per preset.
--Effects Included--
Blast Effect: Fast Pulse (Use blst.wav sounds for button press sound)
Clash Effect: Use clsh.wav sounds for "scream"
Swing Effect: Use tr00.wav or tr/000/000.wav for alternative "scream"
Idle/Off Sound: Uses trloop00.wav or trloop/000/000.wav (idle sounds looped)
On Sounds: Use hum.wav sounds while on

Finally tried it tonight, and it works well overall, but i would like to tweak some things.
Is the faster flashing just based on time, miliseconds? Can it be as long as sound is playing? If that is too complicated, then can you point me to which ones to change and I will just make them longer to more closely match the sound lengths.
Can I adjust the pixel “on” led brightness and speed? If so what part is that?
Again - thank you for your help!
The Blast effect is now timed to blst.wav in these:

The “ON” (Base Style) effect is just:
Pulsing<Yellow,Black,2000>
and
Pulsing<Red,Black,2000>
The speed of the pulse is obviously 2000, so changing that value will change the speed. Not sure what you’re looking for on brightness? These go from Full Color (Yellow/Red) to Black (Off), do you want the Black to a color (be brighter) or do you want to have the Yellow and Red to be dimmer?
Thanks! I will try this out tonight.
I think the yellow and red needs to be dimmer when it’s pulsing/no quote playing. Its hard to tell the difference when it flashes faster. I have it on a test bed and it’s connected to a hilt pcb, it may be different once I connect it to the pixel ring.
Ok try these, the Int<20000> in Mix<> adjusts brightness, higher (up to 32768) is brighter, lower (to 1) is dimmer.
