4.1 USB mode
When you connect the DrumIt Five module via USB to your computer (PC or Mac) and run it in USB
mode, it will be recognized and displayed as a "normal" memory drive. The module now behaves exactly
like an external USB hard drive or a card reader. You can e.g. exchange, move and copy the sound files
by drag & drop between your computer and your 2BOX module. This makes the management of 2BOX
sounds as easy and straightforward as working with digital photos, MP3s or Office files.
In order to start the DrumIt Five module in USB mode, simply hold down the left DATA button above the
display, while powering up the unit.
The display shows:
USB_Disconnected: No USB connection
USB_Connected: Active USB connection
When the module is correctly connected to the computer, "R" (below "Stat") symbolizes read mode and
"W" write mode. Please note that errors may occur in the file system when you disconnect the USB
cable while the module is in read (R) or write mode (W).
Back Up
When your DrumIt Five module is connected to your PC via USB, you can easily save the
content of the module so as to prevent accidental loss of your sound files.
Copy the uncompressed files to your computer or use a conventional back-up program.
