  • Page 3: First Steps

    Thank you… for choosing a 2BOX DrumIt Three module. You have chosen wisely. Your new sound module comes with an open sound architecture and a universal trigger interface. To get up and running with your DrumIt Three module, we recommend taking the time to read this Quick Start manual.

  • Page 4: Operation

    Operation The module’s user interface is highly intuitive and based on two menu items (UNIT and KIT), each with a number of parameter pages. The parameter pages can be selected sequentially using the PAGE UP and PAGE DOWN buttons. There are no secondary levels or hidden menu items.

  • Page 5: Menu Structure

    Menu Structure UNIT Menu The UNIT menu contains settings that apply to the module as a whole. This means that they affect all KITs (presets). MIX: This is where the internal mixer is located. The mixer allows you to set and balance the levels of all channels/instruments.
  • Page 6 PREF: This page is used to manage the SAVE function and to reset the module to its factory defaults. MEM: This is where you can check the remaining memory capacity for additional sounds. INFO: This page displays the firmware’s version number. * (only available after selecting the hi-hat channel) KIT Menu The KIT menu allows you to manage and edit the internal memory slots.

  • Page 7: Saving Your Settings

    ACMP: This page contains the built-in player. Use it to specify whether you wish to play to a song or the built-in metronome. The metronome’s settings and the tempo can be customized and saved. 4 Saving Your Settings Any changes you make can be saved internally. Important: Your settings can only be saved after unlocking the SAVE function in the UNIT-PREF menu (you only need to do so once).
  • Page 8 Renaming a KIT To rename a KIT, press the button above SAVE on the KIT home page. You can use uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers as well as several special characters for the names you enter. Use the knob to select the desired character (KEY flashes) or hold down the MORE button while pressing the knob to insert a space.

  • Page 9: Setting Up And Calibrating The Hi-Hat

    5 Setting Up and Calibrating The Hi-Hat The hi-hat is the most complex instrument of your drum kit. The DrumIt Three module has been designed to accommodate a vast number of hi-hat pads and controllers of several manufacturers. This flexibility, however, also means that there are a number of parameters that need to be set to take advantage of the DrumIt Three’s full potential.
  • Page 10 PFACT setting. We recommend editing this parameter only once you are thoroughly familiar with the system. Note: When using a 2BOX pad, the function of the two parameters is exactly inversed. Another important aspect is the hi-hat channel’s trigger response. This can be set using the relevant menu items (see the downloadable User Manual for details).

  • Page 11: Connections

    UNIT-TRIG This is where you set the hi-hat pedal’s response and sensitivity. Set the main parameters (GAIN, THRES, CURVE) to match your playing style. The most important of these is GAIN. Set it so that only the most forceful strikes produce a Level value of 0.0. UNIT-HSET This page is used to set the hi-hat pedal’s sensitivity/level (SENS) and its dynamic response (CURVE).

  • Page 12: Usb

    7 USB When the DrumIt Three module is connected to a USB port on your computer (PC or Mac) and booted in USB mode, the computer will consider it a “regular” storage device. In this case, the module behaves exactly like a USB hard disk or an SD card (in a card slot).

  • Page 13: File System

    USB connection while the module is in Read (R) or Write (W) mode may damage the data file structure. Below please find an explanation of the DrumIt Three’s file and folder system. 8 File System At the root level, you will find the following files: DrumIt3.dkit...
