Looks like 2box drumit 3 is getting close to being released :)

Anybody know if the 2box Hihat will work with the Drumit 3? I would think it should be not sure if the technologies are compatible with the universal input it will have now.

it works ...

Already up for preorder at jobeky drums, with a 50GBP deposit, around 700GBP and hopefully release end of September.

Anyone have an idea if the 32gig modification can be done on it? Major game changer for the best value/sound module on the planet.

Hi! I would expect the 32 mod to work also on the three. (Ok...I have not seen how it looks like inside if the SDSC card have been replaced by memory chips...but I really doubt that this has been changed)

I applied a nice "mod" on my + a couple of friends 2box devices...:

Hey that's an interesting way of doing it, looks like would need some specialist tools and someone with the skill to do it, but the advantage is the ribbon isn't exposed? Nice work though!

Thanks!

Yes, I forced my dad to make a nice job. :-) But taking up a hole in this plate is not too hard. The plate is about 1 mm. You could just drill a bunch of holes between each other and do the rest with a small rasp.

We also shortened the sdsc ribbon cable to fit better in side box ... to ensure the speed of data transfer. I have no proof if this would be any issue.

Best regards

2Box just announced on facebook that the drumit 3 is coming within the next couple of weeks!

edcito

Well, the 2 weeks have elapsed and still nothing, so get ready for the classic 2box reply "is not ready yet" "we don't know when, probably next year around late summer"

I think it will be out soon, just 2box has like zero marketing department and communication is poor. They have such a good edrum module, its a shame they can't get their act together. Its like they don't care and just do the bare minimum to stay afloat.

You can bet they care plenty. But they don’t have the resources of their larger competitors!

Maybe "don't care" was the wrong choice of words but they have been around a while now, i think they should have some resources just for simple marketing. They have so much potential, if you don't dedicate the resources how do you expect to grow? I guess they are satisfied with their piece of the edrum market, i don't know. They were one of the first companies to the market with a module that can import multi-layered sounds and to my ears sounded better than anything the bigger companies had out at the time. Then they had the advantage of someone creating a program to easily import VST sounds into the module, fantastic! This was what? 8 years ago now? The market is just now finally catching up with the Pearl Mimic Pro and ATV AD5 and the Alesis Strike offering great sounding modules with real sampled drums. They had a chance back then to build their market share if they just invested the time/money and establish themselves before all these other companies came into the picture. It seems they didn't take advantage of this "head start" they had and now are going slightly backwards with the Drumit 3 since it has less outputs. To be honest though having the universal interface is great and i will probably still buy it. If they made this happen years ago it would have been great for them but it took them this long and they are barely advertising it, no videos really or any hype of any kind and its supposed to come out very soon.

It just seems to be they have been stagnant and sitting on this gold mine while just letting word of mouth do the marketing. If you don't invest in marketing you can have the best product in the world and still fail.

Just my .02, i still love the module though. I guess makes no difference to me as long as they don't go out of business  :)

You still get amazed....the 2box is great solution even if 8 years have passed. Don't be so quick to judge the upcoming three as a step back. There could be other models coming up which closes the gap to the current five. (What do we know)

Yes, the competition is really hard but still, even the new stuff have challenges. One shot samples...no editor for multilayer sounds, problems with triggering and so on.

In this case I do believe my old 2box just delivers...

If we really want challenge anything...I am guessing a nice PC, sound card, Trigger to midi interface & SD3 is the way to go! [for the moment...]

Yes indeed, but who are 'they' today?

Are you asking who else can do this? Just the Alesis Strike module at the moment and i hear the mimic pro isn't far behind though.
