Hi hat calibration

[Gav]

Hi guys,

Just bought my drumit5 this week - one of the last as they are discontinued..

My Hihat calibration kept coming up 'no change' - despite trying everything that has been recommended on this forum and online. But then I tried turning the magnet sensor upside down, with the green foam at the bottom - and it worked!

What does this mean? Is there a way to reverse the polarity in the brain so I can turn it the right way up? : )
Thanks!

What do you mean by 'discontinued'?

The distributor in the uk told me it's discontinued.
Almost all uk music shops out of stock..

Hey Gav,
I came across this exact same thing this morning upon setting up a new 2box kit in the shop I work in here in New Zealand. It was doing my head in !!!! According to our Tech in head office there was a "production issue with the last batch " Ask your local shop to get a replacement . The part number is 10221 Hi -Hat Receiver Assembly
Cheers

Well, anything is available on ebay but if we look at on of Europe's largest music stores and one well known edrum specialists:
https://www.thomann.de/intl/search_dir.html?bf=&sw=2box
https://www.drum-tec.de/module/2box

In stock. If they were discontinued I know Thomann would not have any or only b-stock.

Thanks
I'll contact support.

Re stock - there is no new stock - so once shops all sold out that it's - so I was told anyway.
This is re the kit - the brain lives on with the drumit 3 brain.

That makes less than no sense! How does the DrumIt Five brain live on through the (new and as yet unreleased) DrumIt Three module which is very different from the Five???

Maybe they can't afford 2 full productions at the same time, new production in quantity for a product that was available for a while vs new one.

When a product get discontinued from any, it take time to sell the ones remain in stores, they can't put them in garbage, same as TD-30 module, they wont do others new production anymore. Discontinued means, flush the available one remain in stock.

Yeah that's obvious, but do you know how much stock Thomann keep of 2box modules and how quickly they would sell out if resupply dried up?

Really, the only somewhat important thing missing from the Drumit 3 compared to the Drumit 5 is 2 less outputs. So it makes sense to sell only the Drumit 3 after release. I do use all 8 individual outs (headphone outs set to Direct pair), but most drummers prolly do not use that many outs as it takes up a lot of room on the FOH mixer.
A Drumit 6 in the future would be nice though.

[Coda]

I use 5 outs plus phones for monitors (we are short of channels on the desk).
The real win for the D3 is the option to use either Roland standard or 2box trigger types if one wishes. I'm sure that will resolve any lingering hi-hat playability questions.

Not that 2box is big on announcements, but there has been no official word that the Five is being discontinued. It is well known that 2box has had difficulty getting product out to dealers, so it may well be that they have focussed their production on the Three to ensure sufficient stock when it goes live.

Just to give an update, HandinHand distribution in the UK sent me a new sensor and it works fine.
They have been very helpful indeed.
