I got everything working great. I really like the sdse software I cant live without it now.

18/07/2020: I now made three kits out of exports for my Strike Pro SE and I am really happy how these turned out (following Sirens tutorials on Youtube). SDSE is really a great tool! 23/08/2020: I just came back from a whole weekend of band practice using imported SD3 sounds and everyone agreed about the great sound!

Thomas Abts (Crises, Sons of Eternity)

“

This software is awesome! I am sure more 2box modules are sold because of this software then their own marketing. Also the support is top notch and one of the best customer service experiences I have ever had with a company.

Chris S.

“

If you have a Drumit module, you need this software! This software saved me hours and hours of tedious exporting. It's fully automated, one click and some crazy voodoo magic happens. 10-15 minutes later you have a complete drag and drop DSND file for your Drumit-module. On top of that I had two support questions and Denis replied to me within 24 ...

I just wanted to drop a quick note to say that SDSE is a fantastic piece of software - really great. It's completely transformed my Drumit 3, and in turn my entire studio and workflow when recording, rehearsing and mixing drum. Brilliant stuff. I think I speak for all e-drummers out there in saying we're grateful for such a useful piece of software...

“

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!

Bill G.

This thing is amazing... When the orange haze descends and things start happening real fast, it's a beautiful sight to behold!

Set up your kit layout with DKit Manager (free feature)

You can customize the kit layout used by SDSE if you have split your tom pads to add more cymbals or if you use any custom setup.

Use DKit Manager to set up your kit Layout.
When you export a kit for the DrumIt Five or DrumIt Three SDSE will use the current layout setting from DKit Manager to build a .dkit file that matches your own setup.
