General chit-chat / Help the people of Japan...
March 16, 2011, 12:11:32 AM
Hi there 2boxers.

Japan is a place dear to my heart. Right now there are many people needing food, water, everything.

If you can donate any amount to the Red Cross or any other reputable charity doing work over there, it will go a long way.

Here are some links...
British Red Cross - Japan Appeal
Japanese Red Cross Society - Emergency Relief
Save the Children - Japan Appeal

Hey there beautiful 2boxers :)

Since I set up the forum I've been kinda busy starting a business (gadzooks it sucks up every moment of your time..!). I wish I had more time to make music and participate in the forum, but at the very least I've been keeping an eye out for spammers (thanks big time to the forum members who have pointed out the ones who squeezed past my ban stick).

Just want to ask if there are any useful changes to the forum you'd like to see - for instance merging, creating, or deleting sub-forums? Would you like a general area to talk about stuff that doesn't necessarily involve talking about hitting things?

Can't promise to implelement any of your ideas, but I'll do what I can :)

Cheers,
Tom

your music / what is this I don't even
October 13, 2010, 10:33:20 PM
Hey 2boxers, here's my latest track what is this I don't even, largely comprising the Nippon Recording kit and my Korg Kaossilator, and some other odds and sods. It's heavy and silly and nonsexual. Bring the noise!

Other e-drum systems / Roland getting the fear?
January 25, 2010, 01:11:36 PM
I think the ePro (think of it what you will) and 2box might be putting the wind up Roland...



That's one heck of a discount...

It's from a big UK retailer, not Roland themselves, and while it does state that it's based on existing limited stock, it does suggest that they want to clear some room in their warehouse if they're chopping £1200 quid off the suggested selling price...

I guess my point is, nice to see the big oaf getting some competition at last. I'll save my infamous fanboy opinions for another time ;D

Setup guides and tips / The BFD2 thread and MIDI Map
January 14, 2010, 09:24:14 PM
I've communicated with Angus from FXPansion, and they are keen to see how things pan out with 2box too...

Quote...We were talking at one point about building a dedicated \"mixdown\" mode in to BFD2 allowing people to product custom rendered kits for 2box (and Yamaha DTXtreme 4) brains, however that feature was shelved for now.

You can legally import BFD (1+2+expansions) samples from your own BFD2 in to your own 2box brain - however you cannot legally distribute them, even to others that own BFD2  and a 2box brain. If you or somebody else does make some 2box kits from BFD2 samples, would be good if you can send them to us - we can then redistribute them to other 2box + BFD2 owners on request.

...To be honest I think you'll find it much more useful to go through the tutorials below, because you'll learn more about BFD2 than if you just use someone else's map. The other thing is, because everyone needs to tweak their kits to their own taste, you might find that someone else's keymaps / presets actually sound terrible because of sensitivity and volume differences.

The other thing you'll probably find is that calibrating the hi-hat with BFD2 won't be 100% satisfactory just yet...I'm hopeful though that the forthcoming tweaks that Deve Loper is making to the hi-hat settings will help, and also I've put Bengt at 2box back in touch with the FXPansion crew, so maybe they can work something out *fingers crossed* :)

NeilC has found that using the Sabian hats in BFD2 have got him the best results.

Anyway, on with the tutorials...

Midi Mapping:


Hi hats:


Kit Inspector - parts 1 & 2



Mixing Drums:


Hope this helps - post your own BFD2 hints and tips here  ;D

Citylink have managed to send one of the boxes to the wrong depot  >:(



But on the plus side, I've got the brain, some cymbals and pads...I just don't know whether to bastardise my DDrum tonight so I can at least have a session, or just wait till tomorrow when the other box should hopefully turn up (snow permitting).

Anyway, fired the brain up and was glad to see OS 1.02 smiling back at me :)
