DigiStix 2 AUv3 Plugin - Reviews, Revenue and Downloads - Apple App Store

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.

Excellent sounds but …

I use a midi keyboard with drum pads. Now, I’ve programmed the pads to send on channel 10, the keyboard on channel 9 and all the knobs and buttons on channel 8. However, Digistix-2 responds to all channels. Unless I can setup Digistix-2 to only respond to channel 10, the convention, then this app won’t be of much use to me. Can this be done? if not a fix would be appreciated. Also, the support links does not help as I would have requested help via the link.

Great But…

This is a lovely bit of kit but it doesn’t play nice outside itself. For example if you use CC controls like pitch this doesn’t get saved when exporting midi to a file or sent via a midi output making it an app that I don’t actually use. I feel very sad about this because otherwise it’s a really great bit of kit.

Needs an ADSR envelope for 5 stars

Great app, love that it defaults to 1-shot mode by default but it would greatly benefit from an ADSR envelope per sound/pad. Sometimes I need one or the other. I found the “Length” knob deep in the kits’ bowels but we need attack, sustain, release settings too!

Best sound engine

The drum samples loaded into it Digistix retain all the punch and clarity, while in some other samplers I was experiencing muffled sound. The digistix has become the trusted iOS drum sanpler for me. It comes with a ton of features too. One frustrating niggle is the bitcrush knob which jumps when trying to dial in small values. Small bitcrush values are actually very useful and musical.

Every DAW needs this awesome app

This app deserves 10 stars, I have many music projects on Cubasis 3 that use many different drum apps and drum kits within apps, it’s difficult keeping track of all of them. But now I can have them all in one app, with the added ability to edit each drum to my liking, being able to create and save new kits that can have up to 64 different drum samples per kit…just mind blowing. This is my “go to” drum app from now on 🥇

Good app useful for writing songs

Useful for writing a backbone to a song using drum patterns programmed in linear order . If the step pattern grid could be similar to Cakewalk Sonar on PC then tuplets drum patterns could be created and advanced natural beats would make it feel more modern . As the sounds can be layered over 4 banks then thick sound can be created .

Top quality drum app!

If DigitStix 1 and EG Pulse had a hot affair, this is what the baby would turn out like. Already a winner, with a high degree of versatility and ease of use. The developer is responsive to customers, and keen to add useful functionality when possible. Being able to export .wav files as loops is one such boon. In these hard times if you only have the cash for one drum app, this will do very nicely for most people.
