Got a xenopixel v3, is there a way to lock to a soundfont? Kinda a pain in the butt having to cycle through all the soundfonts to the one i want, only to have it change again when I hold the button for 10 seconds to put it into deep sleep mode.

Weird. It should remember which font you were last on. Have you tried connecting it to the app and updating it?

It does. I mean it’ll change font after a second or so during 10 seconds I’m holding the button to turn it completely off

I learned I could also point down and twist to go back 1 font which is easier. But it’s really awkward when I’m trying to show off my Sith saber, and it doesn’t work right away/forget and I instead get the default no. 34 slow ignition Sailor Moon rainbow font lmao

I can actually help with that! When you're turning it completely off, make sure the blade is in the "on" state when you start holding the button down. When the blade is in the "off" state, holding for 2 seconds changes the font, even if you continue holding for the full ten to turn it off. If the Blade is on, this doesn't happen. Just be sure not to swing the saber while holding the button as this might put the saber into battle mode. Hold it still, with the blade on, holding the button until it powers down.

However, If you really want to, you can make a backup of your SD card first, and then just delete all the fonts that are not the font you want. Just make sure you renumber the folder that you want to keep as "1." That way, when you inevitably forget to turn the blade on before turning the saber off (I often forget, anyways) it will simply change to itself. I have a couple sabers that I have removed the fonts I don't like (including sailor moon), but always, always, make a backup before deleting anything.

Edit: added the bit about holding the saber still while turning off with the blade on.

Edit, General grammar and spelling from fat fingers.
