another question guys. i just connected with a usb cable my pc and the 2box brain. but my pc cannot "see" the 2box brain. why is that?

am i doing something wrong? (i have the brain switched on, dont ask that lol)

hey guys how did you remove the sensor?
i opened my mk1 kick pad(i have a mk2 drum set), and i removed only the small oart of the foam that the beater hits on. it is so much better. i wanted to remove the whole foam, but after some testing, without any foam it double triggered a lot since without any foam the sensor should really be on the edge. thing is that i cant remove it from the middle it seems to be glued or something. also what about the backplate and all its cables? what should i do with them? is there some kind of a video on how we remove the sensor , how we completely remove the back plate and what we do with the light cables etc? thanx so much

oh my god this was really helpful and it clarified so many things. thank you so much guys

ps. i just contacted my distributor

he has already changed the sd card for me
and also he will call 2box in sweden(but he said he may not be able to contact them until monday as the namm is in place) and will ask them on how i should make the mk1 kick pad look like a mk2.
will try to do it also by myself but anyway whatever i hear from him i will post it here for your info guys. take care

hello guys. id really like to see in the buil in metronome, the ability to play all beeps in each bar, with the same loudness. not just having the firstbeep louder than the others. also id like more sounds for beeps. generally, the metronome should be upgraded to be a bit better in general.
also id like the limitation for 100 kits, removed!!!

oh my god. this that i am about to tell is strange. i checked the official site and says that some 2boxes with specific serial numbers may face freezes etc and that it is due to faulty memory card
mine is affected even though it is brand new
if i open it isnt the quarantee voided? though 2box says we can open it by oureslves? should i tell themto send me a new card?
should i change the card (since the box will be opened), with a larger capacity one?
i am pretty puzzled right now

thanx mate

hi hat is calibrated now. but i notice that when the hi hat is half open, then when i press it down i dont hear a sound. i hear it only when i have it from full open to close

so in order to record me, i need a midi cable and the siftware. the cable wil have to be midi to usb right? and i connect the usb to pc am i correct?

last question and i wont bother you people any more.

if i want to play on an mp3 track,  and hear it through the headphones that i also hear the 2 box sounds, how do i do that? do i need a special usb stick to plug it in the brain? or is it just impossible so i have to play the track through my pc and hear it from the pc speakers?
any way to put a plyalong song in the brain and listen to it from headphones and play on top of it?

tahnx a lot guys you are a very helpful forum

thanx mate for the answers

i came from work a while ago and played again with the settings. now i have the kick in pos2. i have gain in 24 and threshold in -36. it triggers good, and i have once again dynamics. i would love it to trigger a bit better but i can see the imporvement now. i have it in kick 2. what did really the difference is to change the kit. i chose kit number 30 and it sounded so much better. still i would like it to be even more sensitive but that cant be done. id like to remove the foam if this helps but i do not want to void the guarantee. you think i should call them and tell them my low triggering problem? shall i demand a replacement of the kick? should i demand a mk2 kick stand instead of a mk1?

also 2 more things.
can i somehow make the metronome not make the sound of the first quarter louder than the other quarters? i hate it

last thing is this. i didnt need to calibrate the hi hat. works ok as it shows. it is picking up the open closed mid open etc positions.but i dint calibrate it. and i tried to do it but i cant figure it out. the instructions on the official site is for 1.04 version. can someone help in this?

anyway after some hours i am now very happy. i was pissed off in the morning but since the kick now works even if not as well as i wanted, i can say i am so happy!!!

ah ok my last question is this.

i will tomorrow buy a usb cable to connect 2box with my pc.
wil lthis cable work fine to also record to pc what i am playing? or do i need midi cables? for connection to my pc and doing various jobs through the pc do i need some other cable or the usb cable will suffice? thank you very very much guys

ps, since i am noob in drumming, cymbal 1 is the crash or cymbal2?

hello lads. i just set up my new 2box. it is mk2 but with the mk1 kick pad.(why the hell they do that noone knows)

first of all everything seemed to work excellent apart from the kick pedal. even the hi-hat didnt need calibration. i mean i dint calibrate it and it was corresponding fine. when i opened it, i saw the icon with the hi hat openning. and when i closed i saw the icon closing.
but the kick drum was bad. very bad. was so silent...i had to change the curve to max2. otherwise is so silent almost non existent
i hate that. seems that now the kick bad is extremely loud even if i just press it. and i had to max also the volume of the kick pad to 24.so now everything is in normal sound and the kick is so loud...how can i correct this? same as with closed hi hat. i had to make the volume up a bit...

another question is to why the metronome always has the fist quarter being more loud. i dont like that and i dont see it canbe changed.
another thing is that i thought it had a normal usb slot so i could plug in a memory stick in, to play a song from there and i can put drums on it.

any ideas on these topics?

i am really late to work so i will add more to this thread in about 4 hours. but until then ihope someone ca help me with the kick volume. i am thinking of callin  the greek provider. you think they could help or even i could send the kick pad for a replacement as it isnt working as expected?


ps. i have the snare mesh, really tight. is ther a possibility it could break? i also saw in the faq that it should be tight... but i am a bit afraid. thanx

ok disregard this guys. i found this video that explained it

thanx anyway

hi to all of you. i do not know if this will sound stupid. i am reading the manual and have assembled everything but the kick pad and kick pedal. the rack manual doesnt help . i am very very puzzled. the manual is vague at this point. a video or some close pictures would help on how the kick pad and kick pedal should pe put together... pease can someone help me? i am struggling for 2 hours now and dont know how to mount them. sorry if my question seems stupid to you... and thanx for any help. a couple of pictures from the front and back should help me very very much i guess. cheers

thanx for everything mate. cant wait for my new cymbal!!!woohoooo
