Launch
- Turn on the Skinetic vest
- Connect it with usb, Wi-Fi or turn on Bluetooth and pair it to your computer, or connect your vest and your PC to the same wifi network.
- Close any other software or game using the vest

The vest will indicate its connection with a small haptic feedback.
⚠ Take care to disconnect or close any other game or software (such as Unitouch Studio) connected to the vest, or the mod will fail to connect to it.
Settings
On first start, the mod should create a Skinetic_BeatSaber_Mod.json file inside the UserData directory.
The Skinetic_BeatSaber_Mod.json file can be edited with any text editor. It contains 3 editable values:
- VolumePercentage: Controls the global volume of the patterns (in %).
The value can be set from 0 to 250. At 100, the patterns base volume is preserved and rendered as intended. Between 0 and 99, it's attenuated. Between 101 and 250, the volume is increased, which can lead to distortion of the effects and product audible noise. - SerialNumber: Default value is 0. This is the serial number of the Skinetic vest the mod will try to connect to. 0 means the first available Skinetic vest.
This setting should only be changed if multiple vests are paired to the PC being used. - BoostPercent: int. From 0 to 100. Default value is 0%.
This setting allows the end user to globally boost the effects played on the vest. At 0%, no boost is applied. From 1 to 100%, each pattern is **altered** to create a more punchy feel on Skinetic. For this mod, keeping this value below 40% will preserve most of the intended feel of each effect. - MusicEffectsVolum: Volume of the experimental effects (light and spin effects). The value can be set from 0 to 250. At 100, the patterns base volume is preserved and rendered as intended. Between 0 and 99, it's attenuated. Between 101 and 250, the volume is increased, which can lead to distortion of the effects and product audible noise.
- MusicEffectsEnabled: Enable or disable experimental effects.
Those effects may introduce lags, disabling them will reduce such lags.
Recommended settings:
- DefaultVolume: 100
- BoostPercent: 30
- MusicEffectsVolume: 80.0
- MusicEffectsEnabled: true
Edit Haptic Patterns
At first start, the mod should also create a new folder SkineticPatterns with the different haptic patterns inside the UserData directory.
Patterns located in UserData/SkineticPatterns/ can be modified using Unitouch Studio.
Each [patternName].spn file can be directly loaded and modified in the studio or completely replaced by a new file.
To be triggered correctly, the new file must have the same name as the one it replaces.
To reset the patterns, simply delete or rename the folder containing them. This will force the mod to regenerate them the next times it starts.
