Hi.
OS 1.24 released. The same as 1.22 but with a more accurate UNIT-TRIG-LEVEL indicator (the resolution is actually 0.1 dB). See http://www.2box-forum.com/index.php/topic,1120.msg10669.html#msg10669 for changes since OS 1.20.
Also a (PC only) utility to extract all 100 kits from a kit bank. Just drag'n'drop the kit bank on the program icon, type x, and it will extract all 100 kits to a new folder with the same name and at the same location as the kit bank file. Type w to create a text file with the sounds in all kits and a summary of all sounds used.
Use the Empty.dkit single kit file (or any of the extracted single kits from the kit bank) to extend the kit amount on your DrumIt Five.

... i think i gonna wait 2 more days to install OS 1.26 ... ;)
... couldnt wait...;) so i m currently trying OS 1.24.....
Thanx for all those improvements ... the metronome is now ok and the accurate dB display of gains is really cool to see what you do....
I still have problems with the multitap delay .... there is no way to get a simple mono delay playing triplets in sync ... Why cant we have the choice of the time division for the center tap ?
IMO most of people are waiting for triplet or quarter mono echo , and only a few like those "tacky" stereo mulitap effects ....
Hi.
You mean like a delay synced to the metronome but the time is 1/3 or 1/4 of a beat length?
Then when the left and right tap ain't used and with some feedback you get triplets or quarters delay, right?
As I'm up to a release a day, who knows :-)

yes ... 1/3 or 1/4 would be great ... and most of all (http://www.solfego.fr/img/les_prolongations/noire_pointee.gif)( dont know the term in english...:))
........the top of the tops would be to have a filter before the feedback ... for "dub style tape echo like " effects ....
... my birthday is in 5 days ... who knows ;)
PS today it s been one year since i get my Drumit5 module .... and i love it more than ever....
Deve or anyone: I used the new kit lister/extractor tool. I notice that the kit numbering is not the same as in my module. I have swapped positions of several kits, so that is why. But is there a way to get the kit list info the same on the PC as in my module? I noticed this before when I used the 2Box Drumit 5 Editor. I am guessing that I need to take my current DrumIt.dkit file and rename it to DrumItInit.dkit and replace that init file...... Is that correct? Or is there another way?
Oh, and thanks again for the continued improvement ..... the gain meter is great now!
2box I wanna thank you again for this update 1.24!!! :patbat2box:
yep, thanks for the excellent continued development!
Where is 1.23?
and what about www.2box.se ? when we see there these updates?
Hi.
Odd version numbers are reserved for test purposes.
There's a new KitBank.exe which lists the kits as in the program table.

Thanks, very cool 8)
Wow! I don't come here for a couple of weeks and I miss out :)
Going to install this right now. The headphone output update is worth more than gold to me!
Well done 2Box, and bonus props to the developer. I love a software developer who pulls up his sleeves, listens to his users and does a great job. From one programmer to another, nice one!

You'll notice the difference in headphone level for sure1
Quickly a stupid question!
Can I upgrade directly to 1.24? :o
Thx

yes you can....
Thx! :)
Cool. It works. :)
i just practised a bit with it. seems perfect!!1
what was strange but awesome, is that i dint have to put back my settings. the new firmware remembered mysettings and calibrations!!!!
now if only you could extend the metronome above 280 bpm. we need more. 400 would be awesome!!! thank you
seriously
and before you start asking why, if i put the metronome to count 16th notes, 280 bpm would equal to 70 bpms quarter notes. get it?

As far as i understand the settings are stored in the drumit.dkit file and not in the operating system file (*.bin). So if you don't replace it the settings will remain. This means by just replacing the OS without replacing the drumit.dkit you can update and don't have to put back your settings again.

I but I don't see the point. Personnaly if I use a metronome above 200 bpm, there is too many clicks to be able to exploit them and check if i'm sync with it.
70 BPM for quarter note, you can easily count the famous "one two three four" with you voice between clicks which is a better option IMO.
I still have a DTX900 module right now and i know the metronome functionalities will be missed once i'll switch to a 2box module.
Groove check is quiet useful to analyse your timing with each elements and Rhythm gate is a very usefull tool to focus on your groove and hear if it well synched to the click.
I wonder if a software edit can add this functionalities to the 2box module, especially the Rhythm gate ?
Anyway, keep up the good work Deve !

thanx manfred
i just remember that in the older firmwares the settings were lost. perhaps i replaced also the drumit.dkit
thanx again for the useful info
Just moved up from OS 1.10 to OS 1.24... Wow!
Many thanks Deve, some great improvements - the best keeps on getting better!
My cymbals have always seemed less responsive than the tom inputs, both the 2box
cymbals and the CY8's I link to the tom rims - so much so that I have had to really ramp
up the gain on those triggers.
But now they really are much improved. I can bring the relative gain down and all cymbals
seem to trigger that bit more securely and responsively. Great stuff!
And the hihat pedal set up works brilliantly. I can get a good foot chick rhythm going
now no problem at all (even with a 2box pedal!). Good job, no question :)
And just a quick suggestion - if the hihat calibration process was reversed so that open position
was set first, this might make it a bit easier to make small adjustments based on the previous
position (rather than having to lose current point by first re-setting the closed position).
Just a thought.......

Hmmmmmmm.....didn't notice any difference in headphone output. Am I doing something wrong?
Hi,
at my module the difference is about a quarter of a turn to get the same volume as before. Before the update i played with level knob in about 3 o'clock position or close to maximum. Now it is is between 12 and 1 o'clock depending on the kit i use.
Are you sure that you are using the latest version 1.24? Maybe there went something wrong with the update. Or do you have the output level set to a fixed value that you can use it as line out 7+8?
Regards, Manfred

Thanks Manfred.
It is showing 1.24 OS on boot. I have also changed the output back to Sub as I sometimes use it as 7+8. The volume knob does change the volume as expected and the indication on the LCD goes up and down also as expected.
I've always thought the headphone out volume needed to be louder so it's something I'm relatively familiar with so I'm pretty sure I'm not getting a greater volume compared to previous OS.
I'll reload the upgrade and maybe even rollback to previous OS and try and do an A B comparison.
On my new 2 box module the OS is version 1.20. Will i see a lot of differences with a hike up to 1.24?
Thanks ... Cods

The changes since 1.20 are listed in the first post and a link in that first post referring to the changes in OS 1.22 .... you should read it.

it s allways better to have the latest OS update ( ....exept for windows maybe ...;) )
And also , updating procedure is just copying a file on the module's SD card and voila ... you re done

Yeah, it sure is a simple procedure updating the 2Box module OS ..... I love that! And putting new sounds/dsnds on the card is so simple to!
