General 2box Drumit 5 forum / 3 Zone snare with BT-1

« on: April 11, 2022, 07:04:46 AM »

So if I want to use a BT-1 for x-sticks with a dual zone mesh snare I lose the rimshot sound? Because the manual says when you assign a sound to the perc part you will trigger this sound, so if I assign a crosstick on another input will I lose the rimshot sound? I'm confused after all this years... also which midi note is assigned to this x-stick? I seem to remember that the 2box doesn't send 37 for xstick but only 38 for center and 40 for rimshots. The BT-1 will be splitted with a tom input.

It seems 2box has been busy preparing and collaborating with music store to release a rebranded drumit 3 as brain of the  „Fame Hybrid Pro“ drumset. At 1199€, this is a serious contender for their own speedlight kit. Available from 5th of February.

From the factory, the module contains over 400 exclusive multi-layer sounds, consisting of 12,500 individual samples recorded especially for MUSIC STORE professional by Simon Phillips and Marco Minnemann.

The open sound architecture allows for quick sorting and creation of kits, sounds and custom backing tracks with the help of a software editor.

General 2box Drumit 5 forum / Drumit 5 MK2 first impressions

« on: March 21, 2020, 05:52:54 PM »

Ok, enough with the mystery, got my drumit 5 MK2 module today and just setting it up, here are my first impressions:

• the box is similar to the drumit 3

[li]the power adapter is a generic one
a plastic mounting plate is included
the quick start guide is similar to the drumit 3, no full manual included
The SD Card is nicely fitted in the card slot, it doesn't rag a bit, it is spring loaded but you'll need long fingernails or a plastic thing to get it out because it doesn't come out so easily when pushing it.
I took it out and first surprise: is a micro sd card in a generic sd card adapter! it has a plastic seal so I can't see which micro sd card it is.
as advertised is a 32GB card
it has 12.1 GB data with 17,4GB free
it comes with OS 1.36.1 installed
there are 75 kits, from 1 to 24 are completely new kits with new and old instruments, these sound really really nice!

I did the sd card test with HD tune, first test showed an access time of .87 ms

that's it for now….

General 2Box Drumit 3 Forum / 2Box SpeedLight kit First impressions

« on: February 27, 2020, 06:05:05 PM »

Took delivery of my new toy today: the 2box speedlight kit. It comes in 2 boxes, one with the pads and one with the rack and module. I was more curious about the hihat and ride, the hihat is one zone and the ride is 3 zone and triggers beautifully. The texture of the cymbals is similar to the atv cymbals. The toms and snare are tiny and have a single ply head, they trigger perfectly out of the box. The module came with os 1.34.1.
The rack is pretty lightweight, the mounts for the toms and snare are the same mounts as for the original drumit 5 pads, they are hex rods, which is a minus since you’ll need a yamaha or pearl hex mounts if you want to change them.
The included hihat stand is quite flimsy, you cannot expect more for this price. The hihat pad sits atop a plastic tray with foam on it. The actual controller is a plastic movable part attached to the pad itself. It triggers ok and needs more fine tuning so you get clean chicks and splashes. I’d say replacing the hihat stand is a must. The kick pad is the same texture as the cymbals, soft.

Since this is basically a drumit 3, there is only one small mounting guide for the rack, no additional instructions included. The hihat pad came without the clutch attached so you have to do it yourself.

I made a video of the unboxing and hope to put in on tutube tomorrow.

Sharing drum sounds - wav / aiff / rex / 2box stock snare with rimshot switch

« on: February 27, 2020, 09:28:43 AM »

Continuing with the topic of how to play rimshots and crossticks separately or how to get a 3 zone snare with a 2 zone pad, here is one stock snare with a velocity switch, try it and let me know if it works with your 2 zone pad, you should get a crosstick sound at lower velocities and a rimshot sound at higher velocities.
