Browse or drag and drop one or several .dsnd files, select new settings, click Tune. The new values will be appended to the filenames.
Hallo from Germany,
Congratulations on your new big job. I had occasion to test your software and I am thrilled. I highly recommend this program for any drunit5-user, it makes the job so much easier and opens up new functions and possibilities.
You've just realized what I wish for a long time, thank you.

Yup, I second everything Tom just said. This program is Excellent! J
Just checking the demo. Simply excellent!!
I'll buy it soon !!
Another step in Lustar legend !!!!!!
Hi Lustar, I have a question. I downloaded the program and it looks really useful but I have a question so far. I opened one of my saved dkit files and the program is telling me that a tom dsnd (that I know is there) is showing (in red type) as missing. Is this a function of it be a demo version or ?
Thanks, Tony G
No Mac OSX version? :'(
Thanks for the kind words tom, Jman and makoki :)
Hi Tony, I'm sending you a PM with a way to make sure about that file.
welshsteve and Drum2, I have good news for you, there may be a way to make a version that works on Mac. It certainly won't have have all features (like drag and drop) but I started looking at it and it's a definite possibility. Another way is to use a small virtual machine with shared folders, there aren't any memory or version requirements so a very light version of XP would work. I couldn't try it but it probably works in vmware fusion in Unity mode, if it does it would be the best way to run it on Mac for now.
there is little to say about lustar!! he made the 2box community a better place!!! thank you my friend for all your efforts!!! cheers!!!!
New versions of DKit Manager and Dsound Tuner are
available (http://www.lustark.com/downloads)Thanks to the first users of DKit Manager 1.0 for their feedback!
DKit Manager 1.0.5:
- It is now possible to preview different velocities when clicking on the instrument buttons on Kit tabs (left for lower, right for higher).
- If the current .dkit is stored on a removable drive (SD card) dsnd files are searched starting from root.
- F5 keyboard shortcut to refresh dsnd list
- dsnd list refreshed when a filter is used
- dsnd list refreshed when dragging a .dsnd from explorer (file must be in a parent or subfolder of current dkit to preview it)
- missing files updated for current kit when dsnd list is refreshed
DSound Tuner 1.1:
- setting to limit the sample length of existing .dsnd files
This can be useful to reduce the size of .dsnd files like cymbals and hats from larger VST libraries. - setting to add a simple Reverb effect
Quickly make alternate versions of your kits with reverb without exporting again from a VST or splitting/building the .dsnd again.
(http://www.lustark.com/images/DrumItManager/DSoundTuner.gif)
Awesome work!
Can't wait to try this out on the weekend. Definitely will be buying!
A new version of DrumIt Manager is
available (http://www.lustark.com/downloads)It is now possible to display and edit all of the DrumIt Five Unit settings from your computer.
You can also save and print a text or .csv report of all of your kits and Unit settings.
(http://www.lustark.com/images/DrumItManager/DKitManager_1.1_overview.gif)
Thanks to teletom007 for testing :)
DKit Manager 1.1:
- edit all Unit settings
- create, save and print a text report of all Kit or Unit values (.txt or .csv)
- fader group list is updated when fader names are changed
- improved Attack, Hold and Decay to be accurate to the module
- Layer set to Top plays the top most velocity
- handle long filenames the same way as the DrumIt Five module but with a warning:
.dsnd and .wav files with names that are too long can be previewed and are marked in Grey - handle corrupted .dsnd file: bad .dsnd files are marked in Yellow
- changes to current kit are applied when Copying a Kit
- improved Kit Preview
- optimized kit loading speed
- faster start up after installation
Excellent Work! Very useful. I have been making kit changes today and it works really well! :patbat2box:
I have downloaded the software to my PC and attached my Drumit5 module to my PC.
I previously modified the original 100 kits on my module but when open this software the 100 kits show are in the order shown on this topic ie starts with 1 Drumit LIve Kit etc. How do I load the actual content of MY module rather than this one.
If the kit list is empty you may have an older version of the DrumIt Five OS, before 1.20. I have updated the download on my website to support older versions now.
To see your kits you have to open the DrumIt.dkit file from the module, it contains the kit bank and all unit settings. Click Open, browse to the DrumIt.dkit file. You can also double click on any .dkit file in the Windows Explorer to open it directly with DKit Manager, it works with kit banks and single kits.
DKit Manager 1.1.3:
- Kit list: it is now possible to select multiple kits with Ctrl or Shift (to drag/move multiple kits or quickly select a range of kits)
- faster Print report when getting Sound values ("+++")
- support for older DrumIt.dkit versions before 1.20
- fixed issue with Decay values when editing Decay and loading a different kit
- Thanks to Teletom007, BertS and Jman for testing :)

Thanks that sorted it. Very useful program.
Also from me:
Lustar thank you for your great and helpful software: DKit Manager and DSound Tuner.
They're a must have for 2Box users. asspecially for those who have more modules or SD-cards. Or those who want more dkits with different settings.
Greetings BertS

For other pads the multi-edit dsnd values are empty.
- Change .dsnd values (or kit title, song name)
- Click Apply.
If you have changed a dsnd name (or kit title, song name) the dsnd values will be applied to all selected kits.
Thanks again for pushing the boundaries and adding more options for the 2Box module! I love the addition of the file view for sounds. It makes it so much easier to find the individual instrument sounds. I tested out the Reverb feature of DsoundTuner today. I took a tom from one of my clean kits and added different degrees of reverb ..... Wow, this works great. What a great feature. Since many have mentioned how they wish the Drumit module had a reverb effect choice this is quite an asset for 2Box owners.
A new version of DrumIt Manager is
available (http://www.lustark.com/downloads)DKit Manager can now display and edit all of the DrumIt Five settings! :drum2:
DKit Manager 1.2:
- added all remaining Kit settings: Acmp, FX, EQ in "Kit *", "Kit **" and Print.

The file size can increase a lot when adding reverb. You can use the Length setting to keep a reasonable file size.
My PC problems have been fixed after we identified the RAM had a defect area.
With SDSE I make new conversions from my BFD2 kit and now I'm looking forward creating a brandnew SD-card using DrumIt Manager.
Life is good and mr Lustar contributed to that overall feeling, Chapeaux! ;D
Thanks for the kind words Murgen :)

You're our star Lustar! :)
Hi Lustar!
I think I found a small bug in DKit Manager 1.3.1...and it is Ãf setting the trigger type to xrim (I did it on the snare rim) on my 2Box unit using the latest OS 1.30, it will show up as the right trigger in DKIT Manager. But If saving the file back again (without doing any changes in the gui) it will show up as trigger type RUBH3 in the 2Box unit or if reopening the file again. This error is also valid if picking the trigger type xpad in which also will give you the RUBH3 trigger setting when saving it in Dkit Manager and then reopening the file in DKit Manager.
Best Regards
Angr77
Thanks for telling me about it! It should work now, the version has been updated on the site.
Hi Lustar!
I can just confirm that it works like charm in 1.3.1c version!
Lustar also receives a gold medal, because he broke the official world record in fixing a bug, create a new installation and then publish it as an update on the website! Fantastic!
MANY THANKS!!!
Best Regards
ANGR77
As usual it works like a charm! I think Bengt should make a deal with Lustar because a part of the succes is Lustar. Cheers!

Hello,
What's the use of this software if we have already the free DrumIt Five Editor? Sorry, maybe a silly question but I can do everything with the free sofftware so I was wondering...

Hello,
What's the use of this software if we have already the free DrumIt Five Editor? Sorry, maybe a silly question but I can do everything with the free sofftware so I was wondering...
There is a list of functions you can do with Drumit Mgr. here: http://lustark.com/drumit-manager
There is so much you can do with Drumit Mgr. that you cannot do with the original software.
Ok thanks Jman.
Anyway, I have all I need with the free one so far.
Hello Drumaster,
It's a good question because it looks similar at first. With DKit Manager you can edit all the settings (all kit and unit settings from the module). It also makes it easier to edit and organize kits. In short, you may not need it now but if you ever need more features it can save a lot of time.
It can be used to easily edit multiple kits at once (to assign the same cowbell to different kits for instance, then edit this cowbell for all selected kits at once) and to copy/paste pads with all their settings. You can delete the kits you don't need from your kit bank (and all associated .dsnd unique to these kits) and delete unused .dsnd from your SD card. If you ever want to connect more pads to your module or to change the order of some pads you can easily adjust your kit bank to swap a pad for all kits (swap cymbal 1 and cymbal 2 for all kits, or move cymbal 2 to tom 4 rim for all kits).
DKit Manager also has free features: you can inspect all the settings from a kit bank and check your kit bank for missing, duplicate and unused .dsnd. You can edit the pad Layout to match your own kit. You can also double click on any .dsnd file in the explorer to get a preview.
Thanks for this explanation Lustar. So far I only use/edit one kit but I have to admit that all those features seem very interesting!
One more question: can we create .dsnd files with it like DrumIt Five Editor does? Or does only SDSE do it?
I have no vst on my computer so I think I don't need SDSE/Reaper but a tool like DrumIt Five Editor/DrumIt Manager (if it allows me to create dsnd) to create dsnd from .wav files I find on internet (free samples or packs I buy for any vst, as long as they are in wav format) right?
To create .dsnd files check out DSoundTool (http://www.shortestpath.se/dsoundtool/index.html). DrumIt Manager doesn't create .dsnd files but includes DSound Tuner that can be used to modify existing files. It can enable the "tune up" for existing .dsnd files (to keep the best quality for your dsnd you can create them without "tune up" then use DsoundTuner to create alternate versions that can be tuned up), shorten the samples (to get smaller files or cut noise at the end of samples), or add a bit of reverb. SDSE is meant to export from VSTs but it can also be used to batch convert from .wav to .dsnd.
About free samples and VSTs it's possible to use the free version of SDSE to export the kick, snare and toms from Sennheiser DrumMic'a and the rototoms from Royotoms.
A new version of DrumIt Manager is
available (http://www.lustark.com/downloads)
- Support for 4K and high DPI screens, everything scales with the resolution
- Faster sound preview when clicking pad buttons
- Pads set to rubber heads are displayed differently in Layout view
- fixed wrong velocity playback for some .dsnd
Hi!
I have seen some problems to read my dkit files. Running on DrumIt Manager latest version. I am running 1.3.0.3 OS. The experienced problems is that I can't see fields like the hi-hat calibration etc regardless which dkit file I bring up. Old default...or my own created ones. Running w10. Have a memory modified 2box....and just reads the sd card directly on my computer.
Lustark, have you seen any of these problems? It used to work fine! :-)
Best regards
Anders Gronlund / www.zourman.com
Hi! Thanks for telling me, I haven't seen that... It works here with DKit Manager 1.4.7c and the 1.30.3 OS. If both Calib fields show 0 it either means that the hats were never calibrated for this kit bank, or that it contains unusual values. So values of 0 would be normal for old default kit banks but not for a kit bank with calibrated hats. Please send me the dkit files by email or PM, I'll check them as soon as possible!
A new version of DrumIt Manager is
available (http://www.lustark.com/downloads)DSound Tuner:
- Channels option to mix the .dsnd files to mono or swap channels (useful to convert a kit from audience to drummer perspective) - thanks to Kuba for the idea
DKit Manager:
- fix to open a kit bank from an older DrumIt Five OS that was saved with a newer OS - thanks to Anders
A new version of DrumIt Manager is
available (http://www.lustark.com/downloads)(http://www.lustark.com/images/DrumItManager/DSoundTuner_extract.png)
It makes it easy to extract samples from .dsnd files with the original pitch. You can extract from one or several .dsnd files.
- DSound Tuner: Extract menu to extract samples from one or several .dsnd files with options to restore the original pitch, reverse the order of samples or merge to a single wav for each zone with silence between samples.
- DKit Manager: fixed issue that prevented some .dsnd instruments to be found when the files were read from the SD card (for Cymbal and Perc folders)
- DKit Manager: factory .dsnd won't be flagged as "CHECK" in the kit reports (CHECK is used to warn about possible double hits in .dsnd files)
Nice improvements! .....
I can just agree with mr Jman!
Nice improvements!
Best regards
Anders / www.zourman.com
Thanks for the support :)
latest change:
- DKit Manager: fixed finding .dsnd instruments and .wav songs when the SD card is accessed as a network drive
New version of
DrumIt Manager (http://www.lustark.com/downloads)
- support for DrumIt Three and DrumIt OS 1.32
- faster sound preview, improved kit preview
- Report: added all kit and unit settings to the text/csv Report
- Layout: double click on instrument names to remove them from the pads
- Layout: fixed .dsnd drag and drop when some pads are set to rubber trigger types
- fixed issue when saving old 1.20 kit banks (they couldn't be opened with the 2box Editor)
Hello,Every Time i use this program i have to change the echo to flang on every kit . I tried changing this on your software by clicking kit .. then change echo to flang ,then save.no luck.I tried another save method by selecting all kits then change from echo to flang then save.no luck when i try it back in the module,i have to go through every kit and disable that annoying echo.I only have the drumit.Dkit file so i dont save it by mistake to another file. Should i turn the save feature off on the module.Is there a manual on how to use this product thanks

Thanks for the feedback!
A new version of
DrumIt Manager (https://www.lustark.com/downloads) is available. Thanks to Jman, tsss27 and edcito for testing and for the support.
DSound Tuner has new features and is renamed DSound Manager.
All the base features of the new DSound Manager are
free:
Create: build a new .dsnd from .wav
Edit: preview and inspect zones and layers
Extract: extract a .dsnd to .wav
Match: match velocities from one .dsnd to a reference .dsnd
DSound Manager is accessible to the blind and visually impaired, like Dkit Manager and SDSE.
CreateBuild a new .dsnd from big .wav files or individual .wav samples. The interface is inspired by DSoundTool, with some options found in the 2box Editor and with more options.
- you can create a .dsnd with up to 128 layers
- Tune option, loop option (like the 2box Editor)
- create a 3 zones snare, or a snare with a velocity switch for the head zone
- hihats can be built with just a edge or bow zone instead of filling all articulations for both
- produces the same velocity values as the 2box Editor
- option to preserve the sample order
- option to maximize (or not) the samples
- option to sort samples by loudness instead of volume
EditPreview and edit a .dsnd file. The interface is inspired by DSoundTool, with more options.
- click from left to right on the buttons to hear different layers
- click on the layer buttons to open a layer view
- adjust balance for each zone of a .dsnd (adjust default panning of a cymbal)
- adjust pitch for each zone of a .dsnd (tune a cymbal bell)
- check boxes to select zones (to remove one or several zones from a .dsnd, like removing a tom rim, ride edge, or making a light version of a hihat)
- check boxes to select layers (to easily remove one or several layers from a .dsnd)
- compatible with the newer .dsnd from 2box (to display the zone names)
changelog:
- .dsnd association: DSound Manager is now associated by default to inspect and edit .dsnd files (select "open with DSound Player" during installation to keep the previous preview feature)
- DSound Manager Create: build a .dsnd file from .wav (detection of individual samples or files containing all layers for a zone, support for velocities.map)
- DSound Manager Create: option to sort samples by loudness, by volume (like the 2box Editor and DSoundTool) or to keep the filename order (supports loud to quiet or quiet to loud)
- DSound Manager Create: quick zone selection, if your .wav filenames or folders contain zone names the other zones will be added for you (double click on zone names on the left to clear them)
- DSound Manager Create: when creating a hihat the open levels from one zone are duplicated as needed to the other zone without increasing the .dsnd file size.
- DSound Manager Create: you can set several zones to the same .wav without increasing the dsnd size (to match open levels for hihats or force certain combinations of zones)
- DSound Manager Create: select "Snare Vel Switch" to create a dsnd with up to three velocity areas on the Head zone. Adjust the velocity percentage at which each area should start.
- DSound Manager Edit: uncheck some zones and save as a new file to easily remove one or several zones from a .dsnd (to get a smaller version or delete articulations you don't need)
- DSound Manager Edit: settings to adjust pitch for each zone (can be used to change the pitch of a ride bell for instance)
- DSound Manager Edit: settings to adjust the volume and balance for each zone.
- DSound Manager Edit: layer buttons to inspect and select layers, uncheck one or several layers in the list then save to a new .dsnd (you can also press Space to toggle or Del to uncheck)
- DSound Manager Edit: detects duplicate zones and flags them with "!" (to reduce the size of a dsnd that contains duplicate zones: open it and save as a new file)
- DSound Manager Extract: when a dsnd contains duplicate zones they won't be extracted.
- DSound Manager Extract: create velocities.map (compatible with DSoundTool)
- Dsound Manager Tune: faster sound preview.
- DKit Manager: faster sound preview (for Windows 10 in particular)
- DKit Manager Kit, Sounds list: Edit in DSound Manager, select the Edit option in the right-click menu on pad buttons or in the menu when pressing Enter on a .dsnd in the sounds list.
- DKit Manager Kit: preview closed articulation by default for the HiHat when a single kit is loaded.
- DKit Manager Kit: improved EQ preview.
- DKit Manager Check: option to remove all unused .dsnd names from the kit bank.
- DKit Manager Delete: removed "Uniques" option when loading a single kit since it's only used for kit banks.
- Accessibility: when assigning a sound in the Sound list the list remains selected instead of going to the Kit list.
- adjusted scale for high DPI screens.
- .ini option to increase the scale or decrease the font size (if DKit Manager is too small on your screen increase Scale in C:\Users\[user]\AppData\Roaming\DrumIt Manager\DKitManager.ini)
Awesome Job!
Jepp! Great stuff from Lustark!

Just did card mod on my new drumit3. I hesitate for 3 months, to do that. I took the extension cable out of the old drumit5, and put it in new module. It was even easier.
So the question is:
How can i make my fully loaded 32gb cards for old module, playable with new one. I don't want to lose settings. Well i don't want to lose too much time with that, hehe. Is there an easy way to do that?
Absolutely, you can easily update the 32 GB card from the old module to use with the DrumIt 3. But first make sure to keep a backup of everything on the computer.
- copy the OS (DrumItOS*.bin and globalconfig.dcfg) from your DrumIt 3 to the 32 GB card. You can delete/replace the previous .bin and .dcfg files.
- open the kit bank from the 32 GB card in DKit Manager (you can double click on it from the explorer)
- on the first Unit page click Import at the bottom and select the kit bank from your DrumIt 3. It will import all your current Unit settings (all pad and module settings)
- click Save in the main menu
You are the best...thank you. And yes, i did uninstall sdse, with settings included. My bad.
A new version of
DrumIt Manager (https://www.lustark.com/downloads) is available. Thanks to tsss27 for reporting issues and testing!
- DSound Manager Create: "Velocity Switch" can be used to create a dsnd with up to three areas for the Head and the Rim (to play different sounds at different velocity ranges)
- DSound Manager Create: allow converting from .wav to .dsnd when a folder contains some bad/corrupted wav files (the bad files will be ignored)
- DSound Manager Edit: you can now increase the volume of any zone by up to 6 dB (use with caution)
- DSound Manager Edit: press Enter while on any button or setting to preview the sound (random velocity, press Shift+Enter to play the highest velocity)
- DSound Manager: press Page Up/Page Down to select the previous/next zone.
- DSound Manager Edit: fixed issue when removing layers (when removing the top velocity or removing groups of duplicate layers and increasing the volume of the zone at the same time) - thanks to tsss27 for reporting this
- DKit Manager Kit Normal mode: added tooltips in addition to the current color codes when a .dsnd is missing (red), damaged or moved (yellow) or its filename is truncated (grey) - thanks to Dobly for the idea
- DKit Manager Kit List: press Ctrl+Up or Ctrl+Down to move the current kit or selected kits up or down in the list.
- DKit Manager Kit: press the Apps key on a pad button to open the Pad Copy/Paste menu.
- DKit Manager Sounds: press the Apps key or Enter on a dsnd to open a menu to assign it to a pad.
- DKit Manager Kit: when pressing Enter on settings to preview the sound a random layer is selected to get a better idea of the results when playing (press Shift+Enter to play the highest velocity)
- DKit Manager: faster pad preview keys (X, C, V, S, D, F, G, E, R and T, in main menu, Kit list or Layout tab). Press once to play the highest velocity, keep pressed for random velocities.
- DKit Manager, DSound Manager: fixed playback issue on Windows 10 (the attack could be faded) - thanks to tsss27 for reporting this
- DKit Manager Kit: fixed sound playback issues after selecting a kit with an empty pad - thanks to tsss27 for reporting this
- DKit Manager: replaced the four kit layout buttons with a drop down menu.
It is a great new version! I really like the preview keys and I made some tests with the dsound manager with the velocity switch. I think I could do some new real astonishing things with this function! Also the function with being able to change volume between zones is extremely useful!
In general - if you have not tried the DrumIt Manager - I can highly recommend it - I used it a lot when building kits for 2box MKII...and you get extremely effective and fast with this tool! Only the report part in the app...is worth the money!
You are not better than your tools!
Keep up the great job!
Best regards

A new version of
DrumIt Manager (https://www.lustark.com/downloads) is available.
You can now change the order of layers in dsnd instruments.
This version also adds a menu to edit zones, an easy way to add a tight level to a new or existing hihat dsnd and accessibility improvements when using NVDA.
The idea to duplicate a closed hihat level as a tight level with a different pitch to get two closed levels was originally from the one and only Jman, and Anders suggested it again recently.
Thanks to tsss27 and ANGR77 for testing!
DSound Manager Zone menuYou can right-click on buttons to open a zone menu:
- Duplicate, to be able to edit the new zone before saving. You can duplicate a single percussion zone and adjust its pitch to get an alternate sound on the rim.
- Duplicate (virtual), to save space. You can adjust how a HiHat will play by adding more levels without increasing the file size or changing the HiHat calibration.
- Duplicate Closed as Tight. to create Tight zones from Closed zones in one step.
- Velocity switch from zone 2 to zone 3, to convert a three zones dsnd to a two zones dsnd that turns from a zone to another for the high velocities.
- Velocity switch from zone 3 to zone 2.
The switch percentage is 85% and can be adjusted on the Create page if needed (it uses the last switch setting when selecting Velocity Switch)
- Import (add) to add it as a new zone.
- Import (add foot splash), only for hihats.
- Import (replace) to replace the selected zone.
With Import (add) the zone is added in the same way as with Duplicate, to the available position or to the next position for a HiHat.
The pitch of the imported zone is adjusted to sound the same as in the imported dsnd in case it has a different max tune.
Sort options, can be used to fix or improve layer order. It can also be useful after importing zones from another dsnd to get the same velocity curve for all zones.
- Sort by loudness: sort zone layers by loudness.
- Sort by volume: sort by peak volume.
- Sort by loudness (all): sort all zones by loudness.
- Sort by volume (all): sort all zones by peak volume.
Edit name: type a new name for the selected zone. Zone names are only used for display, they are not used by the module.
Reset names: set all zones to default names based on the type of .dsnd, like Head/Rim for a snare or Bell/Bow/Edge for a cymbal.
DSound Manager, adjust the order of layersClick on the layer information button on the right of the Edit page to open the detailed layer view for a zone.
Change the order of the layers with drag and drop or with Ctrl+Up or Ctrl+Down.
Changelog:
- DSound Manager Create: option to add Tight level using the Closed level (it's duplicated with a higher pitch. if all open levels are filled the second to last level is removed)
- DSound Manager Edit Zone menu: right-click or press the Apps key on zone buttons to import a zone from another dsnd, duplicate the zone or sort it by volume or loudness.
Duplicate: can be used to add more open levels to a HiHat to adjust how it plays, to add a tight level or to add alternate zones with a different pitch.
Velocity switch: merge the second and third zones, useful to convert a 3 zones dsnd to a 2 zones dsnd that turns from a zone to another for the high velocities.
Import: import a zone from another dsnd, add as a new zone or replace the selected zone.
Sort: sort zone by peak volume or loudness, can be used to fix or improve layer order.
Sort (all): sort all zones by peak volume or loudness, useful after importing zones from another dsnd to get the same velocity curve for all zones.
Edit zone names: rename zones to your liking (zone names are only used for display, they are not used by the module).
Reset zone names: set all zone names to default values (Head/Rim, Bell/Bow/Edge).
- DSound Manager Edit: use drag and drop or press Ctrl+Up or Ctrl+Down to move the current layer or selected layers in the list, useful to fix the order when some layers feel too loud or too quiet.
- DSound Manager Edit: added tooltip to show which layer is played when clicking on the Zone buttons (same as in DKit Manager on Drum buttons: low to high velocities from left to right)
- DSound Manager Edit: allow saving changes to a duplicate zone, useful when creating a dsnd from the same samples with different filenames and adjusting the duplicate zone separately.
- DSound Manager Edit: fixed wrong zone information when saving some 3 zone snares.
- DSound Manager Create: fixed Maximize when converting from individual .wav files not sorted from loud to quiet.
- DSound Manager Tune: saving a dsnd that contains virtual zones won't increase the file size (they will remain as virtual zones)
- DSound Manager Extract: fixed issue with some dsnd files when extracting the last layer of a 128 layers zone.
- DKit Manager Kit: fix to play the same zone as the module when assigning a 3 zone snare dsnd to a tom pad.
- DKit Manager Kit: fix to save correct Sound setting (dsnd zone selection for a pad) when using NVDA or JAWS.
- DKit Manager, DSound Manager: allow freely editing up-down settings.
- DKit Manager, DSound Manager: fixed slowness when changing some settings when using NVDA.
This is a great new version! :-)
Jman's old idea, how to create an extra tight hi-hat layer in 2box...got solved within a mouse click in the new version! (It was quite complex to do it manually earlier)
And there are more goodies! Just to upgrade or buy!! Your best tool for 2box!
Big thanks Lustark!

Hi! I'm a long-time user for SDSE and DrumIt Manager, and think these are both essential products, without which I'm not sure I'd still be using my 2Box, much less considering a second one.
Slight feature request, though. In Multi edit mode, would it be possible to apply adjustments such as Balance and Decay? The new default of 10 for Decay is useful, no doubt. But I find myself dialing most sounds back to infinity. Would love the ability to change all my kits at once. Or for another example, pan the 18" crash in all my sets to +4, at once.
Also, I guess it matters only to me, but I've been here since 2010-2011 or longer. For some reason, the site just made me reregister a few months ago. Started with ddrum 4 and then jumped on the Drumit 5 when it came out. (yes, irrelevant. But true!)
Thanks,
Bobby
Hi Bobby,
Thanks for the feedback!
It's a good idea about the multi edit mode, I have sent you a test version with an improved multi edit mode :)
The Multi-edit mode could already be used to adjust the panning, balance or decay in multiple kits at once, but only as long as the pads were set to the same dsnd instrument. In the next version it will also be possible to use the Multi edit mode to change almost all of the Kit values in multiple kits even when the pads are not set to the same dsnd.
Denis, the new functionality works well. For me - maybe because some of the decay settings were already at infinity and others were at 10 - it worked best to do this in two steps. For example, I first moved all sliders to 9.1, and applied the setting. Then I moved them all back to infinity and hit Apply. That worked perfectly. Without the added step, some of the sliders wouldn't change. Or maybe there was some previous user error. Either way, I'm happy that this is now so easily accomplished. Thank you very much for the excellent responsiveness and willingness to continually improve an already wonderful product.
Bobby
Thanks for testing and for the kind words. The added step is the way to go in this case. I should have mentioned it, with the new multi-edit mode the changes are only applied if the new value is different from the default multi-edit value which is based on the first selected kit (except for the dsnd). So if some value from the current kit is already the intended setting to be applied to all the selected kits I would do it in two steps like you did, or change it to something else first before clicking Multi.
