Hi. No you can not split the kick input.
Look for this
DrumIt_User_Manual_OS_1.24.pdf
see page 8.

Hi. Single kits can be copied to any program  in the kit bank file. So if you want a single kit file first, select it, press SAVE choose the kit number you want to save it t to and press COPY.

Hi and a good 2012.
Audio over usb 1.1 is easily  possible, however there is no "power" left inside DrumIt to do this.
Cymbals on the tom inputs wont work because they have a piezo amplifier on the ring contact, not a switch detect.

Hi. It's like when a new release of the Excel program comes around. It doesn't mean you have to update all your Excel documents. The new OS gives you new possibilities, but it reads the settings file you already have. There is no new 1.24 settings file, the latest version is 1.20. All OS releases will always read  setting files from an earlier version, when saving changed settings the will be in the latest supported version.
Deve.

Sounds (incl loops) and single kits can be in any folder you like. Make new folders and arrange them any way you want.  You can have upto 999 single kits, use the new Editor to import export them.

Please be aware that you can update to OS 1.24 without having to change the DrumIt.dkit settings file. If you do, you might have to download new sounds which are used in some of the 100 kits. Also the unit settings will be default. It is advised to use single kits to test the new Beech kit for example. If you like it, you can use it as single kit or copy it to 1 of the 100 kit programs.
Happy days,
Deve.

No probs. The ring of the kick jack is a current source with limiter. You can short it or split it and use it to light 2 kick pad led chains. Putting 2 triggers in parallel will probably work.
Nice xmas to you all.

Hi.
On the UNIT-INTF page set BUS to 3 or 3+4  for all cymbal channels and 5 or 5+6 for all others. Bus 3 4 5 6 are always on output 3 4 5 6.

Hi.
Playing (many) sounds directly from an SD card is not trivial. Either the extender can add delays / reflections on the sd signals and the card itself might not have the access time required.
So please check if the problem still exists with your own sounds on the original sd card directly in the sd slot. That' s the only configuration we support.

Hi.
Odd version numbers are reserved for test purposes.
There's a new KitBank.exe which lists the kits as in the program table.

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 :-)

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.

Hi.

New OS 1.22 released. See download links below. You can use the same DrumIt.dkit and single kit files.

General
- A software change for a chip with a revised specification (it caused random triggering).
- Phones volume is increased by 6 dB, that's 4 times the power.
- Maximum of 8000 dsnd files, 800 wav files, 999 single kit files and 1000 folders. The file names can be upto 63 characters without the dot and extension, the combined folder name can be 127 characters incl all parent folders and separators.

Kit mode
- All single kits are shown with a large initial letter. Click the dial to select kits by initial, click again to select kit by kit. The kit programs have PR as initial and all single kits not starting with A-Z have ?.
- To stop all loops, hold STOP on the KIT-PROG page for 1/2 second.
- The KIT-ENV-SOUND parameter shows the loop values as Loop (continuous with start / stop) or Solo (one-shot with retrigger), either one with ! to indicate a fixed trigger level.
- The echo effect has some new parameter names (their function is the same), LEFT, RIGHT and TIME.

Unit mode
- The volumes of all channels and mixer (with horizontal faders) can be shown with the exact dB value. This is selected with the UNIT-PREF-VOL parameter, either Bar showing the volume with a bar graph only or Num showing it with a numerical dB value as well.
- Mixer with vertical faders shows the full fader names when selecting and adjusting the faders, not when changing pages.
- The volume level of the LEVEL knob is shown on the UNIT-OUT page. The OUT1.2 parameter is moved down.
- The trigger level on the UNIT-TRIG page shows the dB value as well. Press LEVEL to show the last 4 trigger events, press again to show the MIDI note and velocity.
- The trigger level of the hihat pedal and cymbal choke are also indicated on the UNIT-TRIG page. For the pedal between -48 and 0 dB and for the choke always -6 dB.
- The metronome is played with a fixed layer so the same type of accents sound the same each time.
- Editing the fader names is done with a single parameter UNIT-PREF-FAD. Turn to select the fader to be edited, click to select the first letter, turn to change the letter, etc.

Hi.
New OS coming up tomorrow which will solve that problem.
(Because of changed specification of an integrated circuit on the pcb.)
I'll post a link asap.
