The program has a host of features which allow you to sample your own drumkits and trigger them either using a host application via MIDI or using the inbuilt pattern and song editor which automatically syncs tempo with your DAW.

There as so many great sources of professionally recorded drum kits these days which can be imported into DigiStix allowing you to build a catalog of your favourite sounds. Alternatively use the built in sampler to record your very own kits.

DigiStix has 16 assignable pads which can be quickly mapped to individual drum samples or recordings. Each pad has it's own volume level, panning, reverb, delay, reverse and sample length settings. You can assign each pad to a mute group which allow for instance a closed hi-hat to mute an open high hat etc. Each pad can be assigned a one shot or looped sample. This enables you to import pre-looped samples at a specified BPM and have them play when a pad is pressed. You can also import up to 3 samples per pad and use in multi-sample mode which allows different velocity levels to trigger different pads etc.

One great feature of DigiStix is the ability to none destructively assign samples from different kits to the pads for live performance and song creation. We also provide an intelligent melodic mapping mode which maps selected samples over all 16 pads tuned to a selected key and scale.

The inbuilt sequencer allows patterns of up to 64 beats in length. Each pattern can have it's own time signature allowing complex arrangements can be constructed. Up to 256 patterns can be chained together to make a soung which are saved independently of the kits. The pattern editor also allows you to enter 1/4, 1/8 and 1/16th note triplets as well as reverse sample and accented notes. We provide easy velocity editing with 'draw in' drum rolls etc.

DigiStix also features a 16 channel mixer, configurable digital delay, reverb, chorus / flanger, bit crunch, overdrive, 8 band EQ and digital filtering options (HP and LP filters).

Each drum pad can be mapped to an external MIDI trigger allowing external drum pads to be connected if you wish.

WOW-Drums!

What a great drum machine/sampler. This has every feature I could wish for in an easy to use interface. Thanks and appreciation go out to 4Pockets. Great great stuff!!!


Good Stuff
Laura Z 13

GUI is easy to learn and functions well ..Swing is on point .One thing missing is the ability layer Samples ..Effects sound nice like bit reduction , reverb , distortion, Eq...It did crash a bunch of times from trying to load samples from the drum kit waveform menu but they do load from the pads fine . The included drum kits are kinda weak . Used some of my own kits and it definitely can pack a punch with effects ..Updated my review thanks for the quick response ..keep up the good work


Sound Test Room sold me!

i just watched the Sound Test Room and i'm sold......looking forward to getting into this...


Sneaky Dope Beatmaker
theGisME

Just bought this today and it is flames! I plan on doing a full review if this on my channel next week. Question developers? Any plans to evolve this so it can use your awesome fx as inserts and sends? That function would put this on par or above Beatmaker 3! Having fx inserts on each drum would make for not being able to export to individual tracks and really save a lot of time in iOS daws by having all the drums on one track with the ability to still use fox plugins.


Fix the way you load samples

Fix the way you load samples it doesn’t work


I own a lot of drum machines and
Flowtilla

This one rates very high for functionality and value . Good interface with a lot of features. Fade roll is pretty great and pitch per step automation, round robin layers, drop and drag samples are also quite useful . Two minor requests : an undo button and an ability to choose step pattern length for each individual instrument for poly rhythms. Thanks.


What we needed.
Empolo

AU3 beast. Developer = top notch. It will be a pleasure programming drums now. One UI request...on a small screen (i.e. - 6s), it’s not possible to display both the sequencer screen on page 2 and the note modification buttons on page 3 (triplets, reverse, fade roll) simultaneously in landscape mode. It would be great if we can latch the note modifier buttons, as a workaround. Turning the screen to portrait mode works in AU3 mode, but is not optimal.


Keeps evolving...already great!
Fretless33

The sounds are incredible...the UI is friendly and it keeps getting updated with better features! A couple of features would make this app tops...an undo button and a play/record buttons where the pads are. Also, having your last state saved after closing the app would be nice...the app deletes everything after being closed, so make sure you save your beat before closing! I highly recommend this app!


Love it! Fix one last bug and it’s 5 Stars

Edit - 10/17/2019 Fixed! The developer was kind enough to follow up and hear me out, and has added layer functionality so that it works the way I need it to and also the way he originally designed it. Perfect now!! Thank you! Edit - 10/4/2019 Sadly, no fix to this fundamental issue, no response from the developer after reporting the bug to their support email. I’m afraid I need to take this down a star due to it not being useful to me at all with multiple layers as-is. ——————- This is a really, really great drum machine. It sounds great and I really like the workflow in general. Lots of improvements and fixes have been coming at a rapid pace. At this point there’s just one show-stopper. I reported it by email but will do so here in hopes it gets addressed quickly. When in velocity layer mode samples stack on top of each other as velocity goes up. Only one sample should play for each velocity layer. Other than that, this app is one of the best I own!


Deep Functions, Easy to Use!
Gern Blasnton

I use multilayer real drum samples to create lifelike custom drum kits, this is very impressive even with only five layers. Could benefit from a polyphony increase from 12 to 16. Another YouTube Soundtestroom buyer. Thanks, Doug.
