Description

DigiStix 2 is an AUv3 compatible drum machine and sampler plugin for your favourite DAW. This new version of DigiStix brings some distinct advantages over its predecessor, most notably the ability to host up to 64 samples per drumkit with 5 layers per pad. The interface has been drastically redesigned for iPad to make better use of full screen mode, allowing a popular MPC style 4x4 pad layout with 4 banks of samples. Digistix 2 also allows greater control over the multi-sample layers, with the ability to individually control the volume levels and pitch of layers as well as global pitch and tune settings all from the new sample window. Previously, each pad had effect sends for the internal reverb and delay effects, but this can now be routed to external busses 9 and 10 for processing using external effects.  The controller editing is now build into the main display and can be edited in place without the need to scroll the interface. It also now supports extra effect controllers. A new context aware control window allows you to quickly change pad settings without the need for popup windows.  DigiStix 2 now supports GM and original DS drum kit layouts, and includes a sophisticated multi-layer Auto Sampler, capable of recording new GM compatible drumkits automatically from your hardware. It is 100% backward compatible with the original app, and can be used as a drop-in replacement. Drag and drop support now allows you to directly drop samples on specific layers, as well as preview and edit them directly. You can create new kits by simply combining banks from existing kits into one mega kit, or use our non destructive referencing to include sounds from other kits. The randomize feature has been enhanced so you can randomize individual instruments or within specific banks. The new continuous MIDI learn mode makes custom mapping a breeze. Patterns can also be exported as MIDI stems for use in other packages including a direct import to Helium clips. You can also export patterns as audio in the latest version. The auto sample feature allows automated recording of GM compatible kits directly from hardware drum machines. The slice editor can also be used for MPC style slicing of audio clips. Features: • 64 Assignable Pads (4 banks of 16 pads). • Advanced Randomize Pattern feature. • Internal & external effect routing. • Mix and match different kits with drum references. • Up to 64 beats per pattern. • Songs up to 255 patterns in length. • Reverse Mode, Triplets and Accents. • Supports Mute Groups. • Multi-layer and Round Robin modes. • DS and GM MIDI Mapping. • 64 channel Mixer. • 8 band EQ. • Randomize Feature. • Sophisticated Auto Sampler • Export loops to audio and MIDI formats. • Looping Mode with Time Stretching. • Build in Delay, Reverb, Overdrive, Bit Crunch and LP/HP Filters. • Paramter Automation from your DAW. • Local and Remove MIDI Sync. • Built in Sampler. • Multi-bus/outputs when using AUM • Multiple Import options. • Melodic Remapping. • MIDI Mapping. • Real time and Step pattern recording. • iTunes and Filer importing of samples. • Files App Drag & Drop Support • Sample Slicer

  • Does a lot but not what I need

    The description mentions midi mapping, but that’s only for the note numbers that trigger the pads. I need a way to control the filter cutoff and panning of individual pads with MIDI CCs. You can adjust these parameters with onscreen controls but there’s no way to map them to external controllers. If all the controls were linkable/mappable to CCs that would make it so much more usabe as a software sampler to play with my external controller.

    This app is pretty awesome….. please add an option so that we can remove the white border and use it in full screen that would help some of the things looking too small plus the white is annoying to look at

  • This is his most enigmatic creation!

    If there is anything that would consist both divinity and artistic integrity, Digistix 2 is that thing. I, I don’t know how Paul does it, but the sheer amount of artistic freedom and creativity he puts in his app is unparalleled. Among all the developers in the iOS platform, someday Paul and his 4pockets creations would considered Hall of Famers. His Shimmer, Reverb, DigiStix2, vocal soloist, sideband, Time Machine, and others are just phenomenal. None quite so equal, none will ever be.

  • For the love of.. BIGGER PADS PLEASE!

    PLEASE MAKE THE PADS BIGGER! I want to really like this app and you’ve done a good job but, I just don’t get how this could get overlooked. I’m a drummer of 50+ years. When sampling became a “thing” I taught myself finger drumming and can confidently say I can play as well or better now with my digits than behind a full kit. That is assuming of course that the pads have full velocity sensitivity and are large enough to navigate a blisteringly fast black metal drum track and come out alive. Something like a nice MPC3000 from the days of yor. You actually describe the pads in this app as “MPC style”. I’ve known many an MPC and this sir, is no MPC. The pads are tiny! Is there a way you could make one full page of the scroll down window dedicated to just pads and a few essential control buttons (copy, paste, import, arrange, bank select, patch select, pad edit, sample edit, midi assign) just a nice neat column of control buttons next to a commanding and respectful 4x4 pad bank. Man,.. makes me think the future might just be ok when I think about it.. Do you think you could do that? That would be awesome! I’ll be looking for that update, because until then, this is useless.

    When trying to mute a track on bank a or c it doesn’t solo out

  • Promising, needs some dialing in

    There are some promising qualities here. I would highly recommend merging the round robin and velocity laters, so the user can have 3 or 4 round robin samples for each layer. This is key to getting realistic drums. So each drum would have about 15 or 20 samples. My other observation is the sample editor screen is squashed so arbitrarily small, the user can’t even get enough of a vertical visual on the waveform to see where low velocity samples start when editing. That’s a confusing choice to me. Why not make the sample edit screen full screen with a close button? I created a custom kit with velocity layers, but It took forever and was extremely tedious in the gui because the start of the waveforms for the soft samples were so hard to see. The ‘scrolling interface’ and small sampler editor also becomes cumbersome, quickly. I’d make each gui page full screen with buttons to quickly tab to each. Lots of great stuff here, nonetheless. Please, though, most importantly, add 3-4 round robin samples for each velocity layer and then you’ve really got something here. Some updates and Digistix could be the cat’s meow!

  • it's the best.

    I had been looking for an app that did exactly what this does. I run it, a MIDI trigger device, and a USBC audio interface off my ipad pro - and it's perfect. I love being able to create my own kits. I've even made some feature requests that have been implimented. 6 stars out of 5. Must own for a drummer.

  • Missing a lot…as promised and overlooked…

    Not working: Mute Export Audio Overlooked: Per solo/mute on mixer tracks Too much other stuff to mention with the headache this app has given me. I think maybe they are doing too much (too many apps) to perfect one thing. IMHO

  • What a disappointment

    This app is amazing in so many ways. Excellent assortment of drum kits to get started with, amazingly easy to modify or create your own drum kits including from scratch using your own samples. The control over every aspect of the samples can be tweaked to a mind-boggling degree. Integration with external midi devices is superb. Beautiful user interface. But this isn’t for drummers. Many common time signatures - 12/8, 7/8, 9/8 are just ignored. You can’t enter individual triplet notes. You can only enter a sequence of three notes within a specified time unit. You can work around this to achieve a swing feel by entering 8th notes and specifying a 100% swing value, but if you’re trying to enter broken triplets, e.g. on a combination of only the “&” or the “uh” of the triplet, you’re out of luck. For this app to include so much beautifully executed functionality and fall down on such a basic drum machine capability is a shame. It should accommodate *any* time signature, and all triplet variations (e.g. the not uncommon jazz practice of quarter-note triplets spanning the interval of a half-note). This is an astonishing oversight. I bought this to replace a more rhythmically robust app in which it was more laborious to create new drum kits and doesn’t implement the AUV3 interface. Sadly DigiStix finds its own way to miss the mark. Here’s hoping a future update addresses this issue.
