Natural Drum Kit Group buy

[Jman]

As far as I know, nobody has "bricked" their module yet by doing the extended SD card adapter. Definitely a "proceed at own risk" procedure. But with the card extender, and  larger cards accessible from outside the module adding new sounds and retaining all the original 2Box sounds is very easy. So without loosing any of the original 2Box sounds, exploring the "potential" of the Drumit Five module is the next step for me. And after a brief stint with creating new sounds I believe there is a lot of potential there..... that can, as Baby S says  "eclipse the 2Box samples". I guess since this thread was started in order to find out if there is enough interest to get a group together for a discount on the NDK pack, this tends to seem like a push to get others to "pay for it". But really I don't think we are trying to push this on 2Boxers just looking for others that may be interested in going "where no man has gone before" J

no one pushed anyone

Oh yeah we know you guys just want to share the NDK love, thats cool.  I don't feel pushed or anything, just saying that I think I'm going to get my samples from elsewhere first and see what I can come up with - Superior Drummer 2 and BFD 2 samples are first on the list and I think thats where I'll be sinking my teeth into.  Rather than run through a PC, My goal is to run the samples through BFD/Superior with EQ and mic placement etc then have at least 80 layers per zone piped to each dsnd file.  My hope is that more detailed samples with more layers, decent EQ etc will yield good results, and of course I will bring you all those results when the samples are done.  Its good we all get into the whole homebrew aspect, and exploring different sounds and sharing is at the heart of that, so keep bringing the demo's people.  More than anything they will help to convince people to purchase.

Hear are some sampled things that I have been drooling over, check out the demo's:

We're on the same page ... purchased and started building dsnd's from SD 2.0 today! .... great possibilities....

The Hang was really cool, thanks for sharing!

Makes sense.
I must admit if I'd known how easy it is to get Superior Drummer sounds into the 2box
then I probably never would have looked at the stand alone sets like NDK -- and it really
is eeeeeeeazy.

If you've ever looked at the Reaper interface or Kontakt Player then don't be put off by
something like Superior Drummer.  I say this because to my very uneducated eye they
looked kind of similar (before) and I didn't want to go there - but actually SD is very,
very easy to make .Dsnd files with.

If I hadn't just found out how easy it is I wd want someone to say to me, "It really is
very simple, even you will be able to do it".   

And gotta say another big thank you to Louis here - the DSoundTool will even make a midi
file for you - incredible!  I have a feeling I would have stumbled over that one more than
anything else.  Thanks Louis.

Apologies if this is posted else where, but HOW easy?
Any chance of a step by step breakdown of what you did?

Hi - I'll start a thread - if you're already familiar with SD that will be great as well.  Can't speak for Jman of course, but I feel like
I'm only just starting to brush the surface of it, so it'll be good to get input from more experienced users.  Amazing bit of software, I'm really
loving it!

As for my so called "guide" though, I warn you - it was just the first way of doing it that worked, and I really have no idea what I'm talking
about, so don't expect much...... it does work though, so that's a start.

[Cuban]

Yes, very soon

Excellent news, thank you. 
I look forward to that and hope I'll be able to contribute some ideas along the way.

Hi Logihack,

It is great that you donated, but I have not received any email. But that should not stop you, you can start  DSoundTool by clicking on the launch button on
http://www.shortestpath.se/dsoundtool/download.html

Or is it something else you are waiting for?
