The quality of the DSND files generated by your tool is far superior to manually generated DSNDs. Great tool!
Christian P.

“

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...

WOW! This tool is amazing. I was able to get all of my SSD5 drums exported so I'll now be able to use them with my drum module. I did this in less than one day. It would have taken me months to do this manually. That's assuming that I could even do it at all. Thank you for this amazing tool.

Your tools are really good, makes all the difference in making the 2Box what it can be and do! Great work, support, and updates.

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

Dkit Manager Layout editor
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.
