Hi,
More precision. 4GB is splited on 2, 2GB is limited for internal sound locked, and 2GB is open for sound store, there is no custom multi layering imports, the 100  imports is wav or from the sound store.

Also the module cost 2500USD$

Warning before trying to open drumit3

Reported from users: The 2Box SD card mod is history on the drumit 3! The Display is glued to the top case, if you pull it you will damage it! The only option now is to drill a hole on the side at your own risk.Warranty void.

Yes, absolutely way more advanced module from the UI to the hardware. Which is why the mimic module alone is way more expensive than a drumit5 kit!
However, sound quality, I don't think it's got any advantage. I mean, if you were doing a Pepsi challenge between the Mimic pro and the drumit5 with the same sounds, I am not sure many would be able to spot a difference.

how you got mimic to United Kingdom?

Hi!

But still...to hardcode a VST (even the sounds) into a hardware is very limited compared to what I have today in 2box.

After seen a reply regarding the "Mimic editor" on vdrums.com (from what I believe is the best part of the Mimic...Mr Boo), my feeling is the editor is not even on the drawing board. I think you need to double your estimated time when it will be launched. But again, my speculations...and what do I know.


Best regards

Still don't understand about hardcode a VST (even the sounds) into a hardware is very limited, if you are talking to imports a real vst with multilayers and sdse, I agree, it will be not 100% same as built in vst with all feature things etc.

Mr.b is the soft designer of ssd vst and trigger (which include mult editor). mimic is designed similar like their vst with all option but created and optimized for a module to run fast without crash\ interruption\drop out\bad latency etc. like with midi computer, with newer library inside, 24bits internal sound default, 40gb in raw< 20gb looseness) for 123 instruments,  using 9 to 12 round robin for higher velocity and 6 round robin for the lowest, no real limitation here, unless the library would be 4gb with multichannel, this would be evident as downgrade.

The editor he stated himself 2 month ago, was started, and I asked slate team about it lately, direct from the team and developer. 

Hi!
It seems to be a Mimic fever out there...of course a good system...but still very limited by the VST, round robins, hi-hat implementations and other stuff. After reading all the posts on the Vdrums forum about Mimic...I am still believe that the sound editor will take time before we see it launched on the market...if ever. There are a lot of other stuff which needs to be fixed first and I don't think Mr Slate would prioritize this development(he wants to sell sounds)...but maybe Pearl do. I could of course be wrong here.

What do you means very limited by the vst?

There is no major bugs, only refinement need to be made for some, mostly are minor, around next week there is update, most things you are reading was old cable or cable not fits right with heavy duty jack, or 2 people used to use vdrum, hitting medium velocity and reaching 90-127 quickly with default Roland linear and sensitivities this what happens,  they only adjusting the curve for their own style playability, this is because they got used to limited layers and hot spot all the time, their vdrum demo proof it.

The hi-hat playability is at worst like Roland, with lots of more velocity\round robin, superior sound. The sound editor is more close then you thinks, it was started 2 month ago on development, definitively before 2018, we are talking very few months, and even after build the instruments, all option remain for the sound, all individual editing for each instruments, except room channel. Future update will include sequencer, and request from users.

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

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.

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.

The Roland VH-12 looks like it works great! Same for the cymbal trigger. I wished they demo'd the 3-zone snare though and shame about the audio clipping!

The ride bell it's either the sensitivity or something wrong, too much loud!

thanks for the translation, I was too lazy to do it...
Yeah, ok, that german forum is basically for drum teachers and acoustic drummers, the electro things dont get a lot of love or attention there, I've met a couple of their members and they still think the roland td-3 is the latest and greatest...

they where talking on the playability then with the response, AD5 trigs very well, but the trigger setting  do a roles as well on each module, depend how you play and you set it with x brand used, and  I would not take 100% as accurate statement, module might not even finished, these kind of reports take it with a salt and grain..until its officially released, these event product are never finished in most case.

I used the translator:

"I was at the show today and am disappointed to say the least. For what the fair offers is the price, 30 â,¬ entrance, 13 â,¬ parking, way too expensive! I am inclined to speak here of rip-off.
Pearl missing, drum-tec is missing and Roland is allegedly somewhere in Frankfurt with a truck. The 2Box drumit 3 is not released, the HHat terrible. Alesis Strike, typical Alesis good idea but the implementation deficient, HHat terrible and on the snare nerves the machine gun effect. The only module that did not or only slightly deceived was the AD5 "

"in der Entwicklung"

I would not say these statement before fact from official company, these could make false expectation for later, anyone can leave a company at any time, don't take anything as granted.

Wait till tomorrow or later this week. The module is being unveiled at Musikmesse which opens I think Wednesday.

Jman confirmed, B are only for 3rd party usable, see his edited post in this thread.

Maybe it s compatible with Yamaha PIEZO/SWITCH/SWITCH  3 zone snares ...like the TP100 or TP65S , they have 3/4  edge sensor for rimshot , and 1/4 for side-stick ... Second rim has a resistor .. same system used for their 3 zones cymbals ...

The 2 ins for HH , IMO its HH pad + HH control pedal ( roland , yamaha etc ) , for the cymbals , can be the BELL input for roland 3 zones rides ...

After reading the main feature they state:  trigger inputs configured as kick, snare with rim, 4 toms with rim, 1 Hi-hat and 3 cymbals. The B look like for 3rd party reserved, I think they would state much more then 3 cymbal...for the B connection to 6..

More and more interresting this thread ...

This future module should be nice , as Deve Loper had read a lot of moaning and ideas  here ...

more option, more edrummer happy, but no one know what it is...

" hey , mr LOPER ... any info about price and availability ..? "

Sorry, I am not involved anymore since 2012.

Rick is involved from his own module project since..
