Yamaha writes here that the midi note numbers can't be changed in the dtxplorer module.

These two modules may not be a match made in heaven but you can get the basics to match. Although the DrumIt MIDI notes can reassigned, with multiple zones in play  (i.e, snare/rim) the notes must be sequential (snare=31, rim=32, etc). The DTX Kick & Toms are all single zone so settings those to match in the DrumIt will work fine. The Ride should work for bow and edge but the crash will not have the edge.
Using a MIDI event processor in between you can remap any of the notes so that all match but that is an extra expense added to the setup.

Cheers!

Yamaha writes here that the midi note numbers can't be changed in the dtxplorer module. But that they "all transmit on midi channel 10":

Hi Ken

So you're actually telling me that it can be fixed? Very cool. And thank you very much for your reply.

All the best,
Mikael

Hi Mik!

I am guessing that the MIDI note numbers are not matching across the two modules. The DrumIt can use multiple notes per channel so likely the defaults in the DTX will not match with the 2Box and need to be adjusted to suit.

Cheers!

General 2box Drumit 5 forum / Adding pads with a slave modul...

Last post by Mik - May 15, 2024, 08:24:32 AM

I am hoping to be able to use a Yamaha DTXplorer module as a slave module for my 2box drumit5 module (orange version) - from midi out in the DTXplorer to mini in in the 2box.

The usb/midi connection light is blinking and THRU is "on". But the pads connected to the DTXplorer produces no sound on any of the 11 midi channels in the 2box module (the hits on the pads connected to the 2box module does produce a sound). The hits are recognized on the screen of the DTXplorer module, though. So what am I missing?

I have some of these Push/Pots spare. These are for the drumit5 mk 1. And I mean the control knobs which are rotary and push to select types? You're welcome to them, just cover the shipping. I am based in UK.

Send me a PM if you want them.

Hi.
Its these
Pec12r-4120-s0012
Pec12r-4220-s0024

The last one as original, 24 steps.
If you like "slower" kit / sound select, use the first, 12 steps.

Best,
Deve.

Ps. I checked on the pec12 pdf, I dont have the original bom at hand, but im pretty sure.

I just created a Discord server to share some videos and tips on how to use your 2box module efficiently, youtube sucks big b**ls so discord is a good alternative to share videos and messages quickly. Join in! https://discord.gg/YxnxjFnt

General 2box Drumit 5 forum / Broken DrumIt 5 Mk I

Last post by JIT - May 12, 2024, 07:16:53 PM

Greetings from NC, USA! First time here.  First time 2Box owner.  25+y ddrum user. Question... does anyone know where to find a parts list for the DI5 Mk I? I'm asking as I just purchased a used unit, and it was damaged in transit, due to improper packaging.  The KIT CHANGE knob (far left encoder in the section below the LCD) was broken off cleanly.  I have rebuilt my ddrum AT and my ddrum4 SE multiple times over the years (replacing pots, encoders, jacks, etc.), and was able to find part numbers online, sometimes having to substitute. I haven't torn the unit down yet, but was going to try and find parts before I do that.  Anyone have any clue as to where to find the info? I would post a pic, but i can't see how to do that either. Thanks in advance!
