I had played more kits from The Fields of Rock using SDSE, so far none glitches like the one above, so it's also the samples and how they were recorded/edited I suppose.
The Fame Editor still has some bugs, for instance, the hihat closed edge and bow are not created correctly so I get open sounds on both, also the ride bell is not created correctly either so I can't play the bell.

Here you can listen to my findings:

the first part is with kick voice set to poly, the second part to mono, same pads, same 1.40 OS, same kit, same SD card.

I just rendered a kit from Superior Drummer 3 expansion Fields of Rock, it's the Stormtrooper kit of the Live part, used SDSE to render the wavs and the Fame Editor to create the dsnd files, the original size with SDSE is around 860MB, with the Fame editor it's only 362MB so I wanted to see if the latency and stuttering is due to file size (which I already discarted a couple of years ago but anyway) the result? Playing the kit just becomes impossible, the module just robocops and stop functioning after playing 30 seconds a pattern. So I restarted and set the kick voice to mono and it was playable again, this was using a 64 Sandisk Extreme SD card, so  I then tried the stock 4GB micro Sd card that came with my drumit 3 to see if it is the SD Card (which again I tested too a couple of years ago and found it was not the case but anyway) so I copied just the kit and the 1.40 OS, nothing else, result? same thing, setting kick to mono was again the only solution, so it's not the SD card either, it's really something to do with the kick part which is the base for all the notes.
I turned off the XTALK settings for all the pads. Pads were set correctly to roland pads and cymbals PP and CYPS.

Interesting it doesn't have the trigger buttons of the Drumit 5, it's like a mix of drumit 3 and drumit 5mk2

My edrumin was collecting dust so I had this idea and put positional sensing on the 2box using a roland PDX-100 pad with center cone, it works great, the edrumin sends a note for snare edge triggering like all the snares have in Superior Drummer 3, so when you hit off center you get this sound, You just have to export the snare edge sound as extra articulation in SDSE and assign it to a tom rim midi note.

Yeah, but the roland modules send aftertouch, I'm sure using a midi programm to convert aftertouch to the note 2box uses will work but you will always need a computer or a midi solutions thingy

2024 and no next gen 2box

He means that another year of no new modules, products or significant updates.

Yeah, it's been 5 years they released the drumit3 along with the last OS update 1.36.3
They haven't done anything in 5 years and I expect won't do anything this year too...

2BOX Midi in from any edrum module won't work for chokes, it seems 2box sends aftertouch but doesn't receive it so no cymbal chokes possible, also the 2Box hihat needs to have something connected to its input to be able to be calibrated, via MIDI in it won't calibrate. You're better of getting rid of the TD-4 and use only the 2box alone

Any chance of supporting DW Soundworks?

Here is for another year of 2box nothingness

Yes the 2box splash and chick implementation is unique, there's no midi note assigned to the splash but it's triggered by the time threshold of the pedal note. if the pedal it's released quickly it triggers a splash sound, otherwise it triggers a "semi" chick note, semi because it's just a splash sound with shorter decay.I've tried a mimic pro,an efnote and edrumin sending midi to the 2box, all react as you describe, they all trigger a splash and chick at the same time, there's no way to change that in the 2box so triggering it via midi works for all pads but for the hihat is not usable.

Yeah, I tried all the pad types available on a tom input and the PS type was the most responsive but I couldn't get rid completely of the false triggering. Using a cymbal input is not an option right now since I have 2 3-zone crashes. Another option could be a used td-11 and plug the bt-1 directly to it and send the audio to the 2box since the midi note for the x-stick (37) isn't, after all these years, being recognized by 2box...

I did more tests using a midi monitor app, unfortunately the bt-1 is triggered when hitting the rim closer to it, left side hits are no problem but right hand hits are triggering the bt-1, I've tried all xtalx and threshold settings and no matter what I get false triggers, so no go with the 2box.

I can confirm cymbal 1 is quieter in 1.40, also the ride or cymbal 2 drops notes, back to 1.36.3 for now
