Currently the only BFD samples you can convert (as in not re-sample) are BFD2 as they were stored in multi channel .wav files, so any editor which can open those will be able to allow you to mix every track to your liking and export. Reaper will do it, for example.
Someone has converted the BFD3 Core Library to Kontakt, no idea how they managed to do that but I cannot post a link as the websites it appears on are questionable and it's also not exactly legal! But it does make me think there is a way to do it...

Very interesting find. The lossless compression feature was discussed years ago. I suspect it is similar to what Nord uses for their keyboards, as 2Box originated from there...
#3
I have also wondered this myself, so am curious to see if anyone does have an answer, or what you find out if you experiment with this. They're all supposed to be optimized for different types of pads, but I don't know what would happen if you used the wrong pad type, I imagine some of them might not change much and some would.

Something to do with 3-zone snare pads I would assume?

DSound Manager will extract all the samples in order, either loudest to softest, or softest to loudest, your choice, for all zones in as many dsnd files as you select. This is by far the easiest way to load 2Box samples into another module or software.
#6
The dsnd file is a wav container with metadata inside that tells the 2Box which sample goes with which velocity. You can load the file in an audio editor and pitch it down to the correct tuning, but you'll have to separate every individual hit. Alternatively, just get DKit Manager and it will do all of this for you...

Were you ever able to figure this out?

If I get another 2Box it would definitely be the MKII, however I 100% would need MIDI to work as that is how I trigger the sounds, so this would be a huge dealbreaker.

It seems that since there are various rebranded DrumIt3 modules being sold now, 2Box may just be banking on those companies to develop the firmware. You'd think that they would still post the newest releases on their own website though...

Tech 21 MIDI Mouse is created for exactly this.

Ok, but are they set to "On" for all pads or just some of them? if they are all off he won't notice any latency/lag/stuttering, and if he is not playing SD2-3 exported kits he won't notice it either...
It is on for quite a few of the pads, unsure which ones though, would have to check with him.

So that is where I am confused. Many of these other sample sets have the absolute max number of layers. Why are SD kits the only ones that are affected by this? I wish I could look at the contents of a set of kit dsnd files and investigate, but that wouldn't be allowed to post here. Then I could compare it to the other library sets my friend has (Native Instruments, BFD, NDK, others) and see what could possibly be different. Normally I'd assume it was simply the card but if it is only SD and the size is irrelevant then it must be something else.

He has the latest official one, 1.36.3. So yes, those parameters are in there.
#12
Interesting. 2Box has told me directly (as well as a few others) that MIDI cross stick would definitely be in the next official firmware. We will see. I don't know why this site has it posted before 2Box themselves or if it is even finished (I would assume not since they haven't posted it...)
#13
If Cross stick is finally recognized by MIDI I will be very, very happy. This may not actually show up as a new option if it is tied to the main snare or rim note numbers; it may be one note further. I will have to test and see...

Good to know, now the only issue remaining is the latency/lag/stuttering with SD3 full kits

Do you have an average file size for an entire SD3 kit where this problem occurs? A friend has kits over 1 GB running with 0 glitches (not from SD, though.) Also, if you know about audio editing and such, you can save a lot of space by trimming the ends off each sample once SDSE creates them (or in cases of libraries where you can get into the raw data, after that is extracted.) Sometimes there are 2, 4 or even more seconds of silence at the ends of samples that can simply be chopped off.

Not sure what's going on but I don't see any mention of a software download on that page? I changed the language to English, can't imagine that would break it lol. Is there a direct link or any mention of what is changed?

Edit: Apparently changing the language did in fact hide the download. Very odd, but got it now.
