DrumIt5 MKII with 64gb Cards

[tsss27]

So 2Box says the Mk II will take up to a 64gb SD card. However I don't see any recommendations for cards which are compatible, only 32 and smaller. Has anyone tested this yet? If one of the working 32gb cards has a 64gb version with otherwise identical specs, is it safe to assume that this will work?

hey on air again here )))
Same here no success with 64GB after alot format tries(
best i got was getting  it work to boot the os but then didnt read the Kits says unaligned_cluster
it is a 64GB Sandisk extreme pro 170mb/s
will try other cards soon

Don't forget to format the card in fat32 format. (Most 64 GB is formatted in ExFAT as standard)

That's nice!

So You did use the 64GB Sandisk extreme pro and got it working? Have you played with it for a couple of hours with the implementation? The sound glitches will probably show up after a couple of hours of playing.

And please just update for the forum where the blocker was in your case to get it going.

After a long time trying i got it to work on 64GB )

i think it will work on all normal cards 64GB as i guess
i run it under a
ProGrade 64GB 250MB7s SDXc V60   2 10 and also
SunDisk Extreme Pro 64GB 170MB/s sdxc V30 3 10
and feels like the 32GB behaviour in playing didnt see any difference

i will tell you  the solution i found

the way is to clone your working  32GB card from your Module  and write an image of it to PC

then take a 64 GB card and write that image on it ( you dont have to format anything)
The prog i used  working here is :
Win32 Disk Imager      here to be found    https://sourceforge.net/projects/win32diskimager/

then you can try if it works already

but at that step it behaves as 32GB

then if it works you enlarge the patition to full 64GB and voila )

To enlarge to 64GB use the Program Minitool Partition Wizard
here to be found   https://www.minitool.com/backup/shadowmaker-pro.html?from-pw-pop

Both Programs are freeware for our use in that term

In the partition wizard you load the 64GB card
it has 2  partitions one 32 GB with your image on it and behind unused space
now simply extend the partition with that prog to full size of the card and
there you should go

BTW i tested on extender with old 2Box drumit five and it also reads it,
couldnt tes it cause it is not connected to drumset
you can also try it on drumit 3 i guess strongly it will work
give it a try  nothing to loose)

a sad thing is to say that all support of 2Box regarding this issue not reading 64GB didnt happen
they didnt answer help or give a solution or even tell that it will be possible
it is the main reason i bought the module for that 64GB feature mentioned fom them
it took me many Days of testing, alot money of buying Cards of diffrent brands and speeds
It should have been the money and time from 2box to spend on that Problem

so i hope it will work on your sides and gives the 2Box Family the Ram it neeeeds)

Interesting, should try that for the MkI. My BFD2 and 3 samples do not fit on one 32 GB.

so if this works with 64 gb sdxc cards then it maby works with the sdxc cards 128gb,256gb,512gb,1tb,2tb who knows
we need to try this out...

[Slamstick]

Roel, I am in the states. What brand 64 gb card works and where did you purchase if you don't mind me asking?

Roel, I am in the states. What brand 64 gb card works and where did you purchase if you don't mind me asking?

I don't have a 64 gb sdxc card, I still using the 32 gb sdhc card with the extender mod.
But I'am gonna order a 128 gb sdxc card soon and gonna try it it works with my 2box Drumit 3 module.

this is the PNY 128GB sdxc card then I order:
https://www.cameranu.nl/nl/p3139686/pny-elite-performance-128gb-sdxc-class-10-u3-100mb-s-geheugenkaart

For now I using a 32GB PNY sdhc card 100mb/s and I never run into problems with that card.
So I'am curious that bigger PNY Cards will work, offcourse we must format the new cards to FAT32 to get it work.
but it will be great if those card will work too....

Roel, please let us know how the 2
128 gig card works ?

[Slamstick]

Thanks Roel

128 GB or 256 GB didnt work with my solution  i was trying it promt after get success with 64GB an i still use 64GB without slowdown or any errors
what works with bigger cards is to seize then down to 64 GB what makes no sense even you only have bigger card then 64GB
Interresting for me would be if someone was always successful with my solution
seems not much interrest in that doubble up memory
