Yeah, I guess this would be mid-range... but $60 only into a hilt?!?! Good sound deserves better hilts!
Marsupial's is mid too, but is not a stand alone driver. It's dependent on an MR board.
So We have:
Plecter Dimmer ($55 about, stand alone and MR compatible)
*Corbin's new driver (stand alone, can be made to work in conjuction with an MR, $50)
*Marsupials (MR dependent, $40-50 range I think)
Sound and light:
*Ultraboard ($80)
*Kalel's ($100 about)
Plecter Crystal Focus ($150 about)

& I thought they were $185...LOL
nice round up for me xwing.. thanks
Im wondering if this "can be made to work in conjuction with an MR" has any special meaning? or am I reading into the wording too much?
is it tricky? or not intended to work with sound... the old Corbin boards were wired with sound boards....correct?
or was this to sepate it form the marsupial board with is co-dependant on MR/Hasbro (sound) board..
the corbin board does not require an MR board, but can work in conjunction with one. DPDT switch, and voila
maybe Im being thick.. but then isnt the plecter board the same?
doesnt require a MR board.. but CAN work with one?
That's correct..the Plecter can work with an MR board...Kalel's board will be a bit more modified than an Ultra board but not as high end as a CF. I am waiting on more info on this board from him such as schematics etc.
I wouldn't say that. The Plecter Dimmer has adjustable settings. That way you can match the lighting to the MR. Corbin's is static. So sounds aren't going to match. It's a small distinction, but useful I think as Corbin's is much more stand alone than the Plecter one.
If this board can use existing sounds like CF soundfonts and handle's the LED well it will be worth $100.
(trying to bring it back to Kalel's board I know the USD is weak also... CF is still the same price, but our $ buys less CF)

The weak dollar might be bad for you Americans, but for us Brits who might be want to buy this new board it's good news!
I'm watching this development with interest.

Whoa! All this driver stuff has my head spinnin', heheheh.
Well, one thing seems certain... unless this driver functions WAAAAAAY differently with sound vs. Erv's--there is *probably* no reason why the soundfonts I've created can't be "ported" to be used with such a board. Nice!
That basically means... well... even if you do *NOT* have a CF... you can *STILL* get some--what--19 sound fonts (+ whatever others have created, and what new ones will continue to pop up).
Very cool.
Muchos gracias, senor Kalel....
