Hi Luke.
Nice indeed and well done, incl fine documentation!
This was posted earlier "General 2box Drumit 5 forum / New snare and kits for 2 Box"
Maybe follow up there too for better "exposure" :-)

Hi. An sd card extender cable (if used)  is asking for trouble, the data lines dont have return path / ground plane underneath as on a pcb, and they are often pretty long, so real bad for signal integrity.
So haphazard behaviour expected, may work, may not.

Hi Vincent. Could be sd card. I tested many long ago, not all are good.
As I am not involved with DI3, I dont know what they use. Its built in so no easy access.
Maybe do this sd card extension thing and try a few.

Yes, I have seen your TchPoum, really nice!

Hi!

", I just couldn't get VST kits to play perfectly. I had no problems with 2box's own samples though."

As Deve-Loper, I still cant get that. Weird SD cards I have seen too, but why stock sounds (and sone of them pretty large) would play fine, but sdse ones not, doesnt make sense.
The dsnd format is pretty straight forward, so only thing I can think of is delay / silence before attack  baked in the samples.

But then it must be consistant for that /those vel layers. I have  an editor where I can see all details.
So  if you want to, wetransfer me a file. Pm me.

Hi. Try fiirst with the midi cable from di5 out to in, loopback.
Go to UNIT MIDI page and set local control off.
Then all trig msg are sent only via midi, so if that works, di5 is fine.
All other stuff you mention, I dont know.

Hi. Actually didn't know about them. I am more into jazz-rock.
My favourite, Tribal Tech.
But back to topic I guess, otherwise I get spanked by the moderator.

Yes indeed swedish companies, but me being an expat working there :-)
And still working, just not there...

Ah! For sure, dc in to DrumIt will run everything (if it had neg pol on the barrel, pos on pin) except audio out.
It should not have killed anything, so hope you're ok with 18 v ac in.

Hi Steve. Thanks for the thumbs up, but I am from Holland actually :-)
Living and working in Sweden. And I am now on my own in the "game".

Hi Brady.
Did you test all outputs? The six main outputs are electrically all the same.
The hp output has an extra pair of transistors for each channel.

The volume pot uses a cap for dual slope AD conversion.

Please test on the UNIT OUT page by using diff routing and
selecting output without vol ctrl, those with !
Also on this page is top right an indicator for the vol pot value.

Best,
Deve.

Thanks for the feedback! Appreciated with a reply on a suggestion.

Hi.
"talk about the multilayer sample import already in 2017."
Yup, nice its there now for MP. Just saying, DrumIt had that since 2010 or so.
And I could have imagined another road ahead for DrumIt since 2009,
but things sometimes work out another way.
Enjoy e-drumming!

Hi. Its typical for spring loaded slots, so called push-push sockets. I prefer push-pull.
However, they might come back to life when you take tweezer / pincett and drag the card out.
Then just try in and out again.

Hi. Is this the original DI5? Those cymbals implemented bell sound by velocity switching.
So probably you have to adjust the gain.
From the manual.

When the TYPE is Cym12 or 14, the GAIN parameter has an extra cup value selectable between Low, Medium or High. First turn GAIN so only hard hits on the bow give full level on zone 4. Then click GAIN so only hard cup hits give full level on zone 1. (Note: only relatively hard cup hits result in zone 1, otherwise zone 4.)

Best,
Deve.

Hi. All duly noted. :-)
