I thought this might be a suggestion from a prior post by Coda:

Re: Module changes from one kit to another randomly on its own!!!!

I'm actually thinking it could be the extender itself, or the way it is positioned inside the module. I found that mine (which is 50cm long) causes interference which manifests itself as dummy triggering on the ride cymbal, until I carefully re-wrapped the excess cable inside and taped it up with aluminum tape (then again with plastic tape).
If I was you, I'd remove the extender and the SDcard from the equation, unplug the extender from the motherboard, and put the original 4gb card back in the SDcard slot (on the motherboard). Put the module back together, and test. If it's still misbehaving, I'd erase the 4gb SDCard and copy back the default content and firmware and retest. If it's still misbehaving after all that, then you should contact 2box (or your distributor who handles the warranty).

Hi Jman, I currently have the Hart Maxxums on my kit 8",10",12",14" and 13" on the snare.
I was wondering if the Rolands would respond differently but can't find a 13" anywhere.
Opinion?  Thanks!

I'm intrigued to try Roland's new offering in head design but can't find them anywhere in the states. I see they are available in Europe but not here. Has anyone heard anything? They were supposed to be available here some time ago.
Thanks!   Tony G

Has anyone tested this sensor array with our 2box?

Many thanks ANGR77!
I would expect nothing less from the fabulous 2box family!

Eagerly waiting!!!!
Best, Tony G

In the February 2016 issue of Digital Drummer there is an article on page 44 referring to "2 complete libraries for 2box that haven't been released - one for hard rock and one with vintage sounds". Is there any further information on this project? The issue of copyright infringement is mentioned. I thought the 2box sounds from 2box were available to us without any "strings".

Very cool!

Thanks guys, you confirm my findings. It may(probably) be eq related but still doesn't explain the differences between the SDSE converted samples and the stock. I'm guessing that something is basically different in the initial processing between the two.

I just saw this "Drum-Tec Pro Series and Roland TD-30 triggering Toontrack Superior Drummer 2.0" on the Superior drummer facebook page https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pkNbnkTH4g8. The sound of these samples are much brighter and punchy than my SDSE converted sounds that I have in the 2box.
Does anyone else have this same condition? Maybe I'm doing something wrong in the conversion but as I said previously, the stock 2box samples are much more refined sounding with more stick attack whereas my converted samples just don't compare.
opinions/suggestions?
Thanks.

Hi LENO, What you see is the piezo. That can not be resoldered because it is a ceramic coating. Unfortunately the entire piezo will need to be replaced.

Nocturno drummer - went out and got that Transcend card since your results looked very interesting. Have used it a few times with no apparent issues so far. It responds exceptionally well.
I guess time will tell. I don't have the nerve to use it on a gig over my Lexar pro 133 yet.
Please let me know your further experiences.

Thanks Coda. Same thru the outs as well.

Not sure if this has been discussed or is the norm, but when my module starts up, and after it runs through the opening screens, I get a very loud click before it is ready to play a sound. Is this normal?
Thanks.

I think this may have been discussed before in some manner but all of my VST sounds, from BFD3 and SD2 etc., are not as bright and punchy as the stock sounds. Am I doing something wrong? Best way to describe it is the toms sound like acoustic toms with a cloth draped over the head (no/minimal stick attack sound). I am sending individual outs to my mixer but if I EQ for the stock sounds then the converted sounds suffer and vice versa.
The converted files sound fine (as well as the stock sounds) when I listen to them on my desktop through DKit manager but obviously the 2box is creating the variation in the EQ. Can anything be done for this? I'm thinking that maybe the solution is to compensate for this in the SDSE/Reaper conversion process.
Any thoughts?

There was some talk a while ago hear on the board regarding Simon working with the 2box crew and there was speculation that we may see some of his work here on the 2box. Has anyone heard anything further on that? I would love to get a hold of some deep samples of his toms for my 2box. I had the Mega kit in my ddrum4 but it seemed to lack the depth of the genuine article.
Maybe there is a third party set available? I've heard about the "Loop Loft" offering but I don't think these are samples we could import.
Thanks.  Tony G
