Would you be interested in a Mac version of SDSE? (only vote if you are a Mac user)

Yes, a Mac version is a must for me
I would but I already use the Windows version on my Mac or notebook
No, free solutions like Boot Camp or VirtualBox are enough, keep the focus on supporting VSTs

This version adds support for Ugritone KVLT Drums II, a cool VST for metal drummers looking for a raw sound.

Epic!  8)

Never heard of Ugritone KVLT Drums II so that's great marketing right there lol.

Now if only 2box would update their OS as frequently as SDSE.  ::)

Thanks for introducing me to MixWave!  ;D

So I'm guessing EZDrummer3 support would be next on the update agenda for SDSE? Keep up the great work!

Lustar

Thanks for the feedback :)

EZDrummer 3 will definitely be high on the to-do list! I haven't tested it but if the MIDI mapping hasn't changed it may already work nicely with the semi-manual export without having to find the notes: open the region/marker manager in Reaper, select the first line for kick1, snare1, snare1 rim, toms 1 to 5, ride1, crash1, crash 2, splash1 edge, china2 edge, hats edge closed, hats edge open 1 to 5, hats bow closed, hats foot splash and it should be good to go. If needed you can press Ctrl while clicking Export to force it to use the semi-manual export.

Hi. I have a question relating to the older 2box Drumit three modules (and drumit Five Mk1?). They seem to be affordable used. They don't have card slots?   I would want to use SDSE to load a 2box module with SD3, BFD3 and Kontakt drummers. There were some posts that I didn't fully understand, relating to the Drumit modules without SD card slots not loading the .dsnd files correctly? Making errors? And if I understand some of it... Taking a long time to load?
Is a long time 20 mins? 2 hours? Or longer?
Can someone shed any light on this?
And how many full component SD3 or BFD3 kits could I get on an older Drumit module?

Hi Paspallum,

The older DrumIt modules have an internal SD card slot and can be modified to get an external SD card slot like the DrumIt Five MKII. The modification is quite cheap and easy to install by following guides on this forum (if you're located in Europe contact ANGR77).

Having an external SD card slot allows to upgrade the SD card if needed so if you find that the module doesn't keep up when you play, with a delay between the pad hits and the sound it produces, there is always the possibility to try another card. If wouldn't affect the loading speed of the kits in a noticeable way though. Even if the card isn't the best possible match for the DrumIt the kits are still loaded almost instantaneously when you select a different kit on the module.
If you notice latency when playing bigger kits there are some recommended settings to improve it. Karbonfaiba and halftime found that it could be improved a lot by increasing the Mask setting on the module (increase it as high as possible without missing hits). Setting the Decay to 10 instead of infinite can also help.

The older modules can be upgraded from the 4 GB SD card to 32 or even 64 GB. The size of the kits can vary a lot between the amount of samples and amount of kit pieces but for SD3 and BFD3 it should be possible to store about 30 kits on a 32 GB card. You can use the pieces from different exported kits to create more kit selections on the module or with the 2box Editor or DKit Manager.

I hope that helps, don't hesitate to send me a mail if you have more questions. There's also a small SDSE and DrumIt FAQ here: https://www.lustark.com/support

Another phenomenal update!

Possible issue exporting stock kits in EZDrummer 3; I don't think it's rendering bow tips for crash 3 and 4 slots - the exports only have edge zones. Ref notes 31 and 96.

Thanks for the feedback Karbonfaiba, I just saw your post! It might be related to the changes to the Crash Bow/Bell option in the SDSE Zones options but with the default setting "bow" I get the bow and edge for the crashes from EZdrummer 3 Main Room.
