Start with the UltraProffie Lite Basics

UltraProffie Lite puts your saber’s essential functions right at your fingertips, literally. A short press toggles the saber on and off, while a long press turns the background track for any given sound font on or off while the saber is powered down. Double-click to access Preset Controls (sound font/blade color combinations, each with its own blade animations), double-twist the hilt while holding the switch to access Profile Controls (volume, brightness, color, and sensitivity), or double-tap the hilt with the switch pressed to change between Stealth and Combat modes.

Once you know those basic controls, you’re ready to start exploring what your saber can do.

 

Find Your Favorite UltraProffie Lite Preset

Why settle for less when the UltraProffie Lite gives you much more? This design includes 25 solid and dynamic presets, giving you plenty of sound fonts and blade effects to explore. Choose familiar character-inspired options with a steady blade effect, from Darth Vader to Yoda, then venture into dynamic presets and more fandoms featuring effects such as Shimmer (Mace Windu), Pulse (Ezra Bridger), Rainbow (Legend of Zelda), Gradient (Valhalla), Thunder Storm (Ragnarok), and Smoke Blade (Orochi). This complete lightsaber manual includes the full preset list so you can quickly find and swap between your favorites.

 

Put Your Lightsaber in Motion

The UltraProffie Lite soundboard responds to both switch presses and motions. The built in motion effects bring your saber to life with Smooth Swing, Clash, Stab, and Force, while different gensture/switch press combos unlock Tip Drag, Wall Melt, Lockup, and Lightning displays.  

Practice swinging, twisting, clashing, and performing other actions to discover how each effect responds and looks. You can even activate Blaster Hybrid to temporarily transform the switch into a blaster trigger before returning to normal saber functions.

 

Customize your UltraProffie Lite Soundboard

Make your lightsaber your own with Profile Controls. With a few simple gestures, you can adjust the current preset blade color and sensitivity, along with brightness and volume settings for Combat and Stealth modes.

Combat Mode gives you the full lightsaber experience, while Stealth Mode reduces power for quieter, lower-brightness operations. Each mode has independently adjustable brightness and volume settings, making it a breeze to change between full-power saber dueling and discreet modes.

Basic RGB Lightsaber Soundboard Operating Instructions

If you are powering up your saber for the first time or brushing up on its features, this RGB lightsaber soundboard guide explains the essential functions of Ultrasabers’ basic soundboard so you can handle your saber like a pro. Learn how to ignite your blade, adjust volume, change sound fonts, and customize saber blade colors and effects.

Controls While the Blade Is Ignited

Once your blade is active, the Basic RGB lightsaber soundboard gives you quick access to several interactive features. From cinematic blaster deflects to lockup effects and on-the-fly blade color changes, these controls let you customize your saber experience without interrupting the action. Refer to the instructions below to activate each feature using the illuminated AV switch.

Controls While in Sleep Mode

Sleep Mode keeps your lightsaber powered on while the blade remains off, allowing you to access settings and ignite your blade without performing a full startup. From this mode, you can adjust the volume, switch sound fonts, toggle the background track, or power the saber down completely using the commands below.

Available Blade Effects

The Basic RGB lightsaber soundboard includes three blade effects to match your preferred style. Steady provides a traditional, constant blade appearance, Unstable creates a flickering effect inspired by unstable kyber crystals, and Pulse produces a smooth, rhythmic glow. You can cycle through these effects while the blade is ignited to customize your saber's appearance.

Basic RGB Lightsaber Instructions:

Press and hold the switch for 3 seconds to turn the saber on (You will hear a “Power On” sound).

  4. Press the switch for two flashes/beeps to change the sound font.
  5. Press the switch for three flashes/beeps to turn the background track on and off.
  6. Press the switch for four flashes/beeps to power the saber off (You will hear a “Power Off” sound). 

While the blade is ignited:

  1. Quick press the switch for a blaster deflect effect.
  2. Press the switch for one flash/beep to enter lockup mode.
  3. Press the switch for two flashes/beeps to enter blade color menu. Quick press the switch when it is on your preferred blade color to set it.

  5. Press the switch for four flashes/beeps to turn the blade off.  

Tips for Using Your RGB Lightsaber

For the best performance, allow each command to complete before entering another, particularly when navigating menus or changing settings. Keep your batteries charged, power the saber off when not in use, and refer to our guides on charging a lightsaber, lightsaber battery replacement, and lightsaber battery types to help maintain reliable performance over time.
