“
thanks for that great piece of software. it is EXACTLY what i was looking for. now i can just simply convert all my toontrack ezdrummer stuff to my 2box module.thank you thank you thank you
“
HOLY GUACAMOLE! The construction of the Superior kit was ripping in the sequencer.“
This will be a game changer for many VST fans.“
I've recently read multiple how-tos on creating DSNDs and the more I read the more I'm impressed with what you've done. Great work!“
What a nice program you have made!! It has really brought new life to my 2Box. The only bad thing is, now I want all the drum programs it handles :-)“
This tool is really helpful. I had no desire and no time to extract all the files from Superior Drummer 2 and then do all the things to generate .dsnd files. With SDSE it's so simple.“
This software is what makes 2box modules the best solution to make a electronic drums, you can easily export your favorite kits from VST's and simple copy the files to the sd card. Is a must have for 2box owners. And the support from the developer is simply amazing, very quick and accurate. If you have a 2box module just buy this software.
