Questions from newbie user

Hi all!
I just purchased a 5 years old 2box from a private seller. Yesterday I assembled the hardware and tested some sounds, but I'll work on triggers and sounds for next days.
I come from an Alesis DM10 kit, and I 'd like some advice from this forum, some questions I wondered in these days, since I purchased until it arrived at home!!
1) I just updated s.o. from 1.24 to 1.30 version. Apart from the software, I wonder if 2box replaced (improved) some .dsnd sounds since it came out, or they are always the same

2) I'd like to use the 2box as a replacement for my old acustic drum: so, I don't care having 100 different kits or electronic/ethnic sounds, but only one or two kits with selected sounds for snares, toms and cymbals. Is it possible to delete unnecessary kits/sounds from sd card?
3) How can I add some "drumless" mp3 songs directly in the module, so I can easily select one of them and playing over it?

Thanks for your help...today I'll go on with my discovering this new toy

You can upload new additional sounds from the 2BOX website .

YES , you ll have to access the SDcard booting the module in USB mode ... have a look at the manual for that ...


3) How can I add some "drumless" mp3 songs directly in the module, so I can easily select one of them and playing over it?

You cant play MP3 directly in the module... Drumit5 accepts only WAVfiles  , but you can convert them in WAV with your computer and then drag'n'drop them in the module ... There is a LINE IN , you could also plug a MP3player

Yes, no probem for converting them in .WAV files: in this case, how can I manage them? I mean, in USB mode I can create a folder called "Drumless" containing all my files, but how can I use them? I expect I can somehow navigate in 2box menu, find the song and play it..the manual will be my friend
