DigiStix Drummer is an AUv3 compatible drum machine / sampler plugin for your favourite DAW.
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.

DigiStix Drummer AUv3 Plugin Reviews
Read this
As a drum machine for teaching it’s great. The sounds are also good. But it stops there. Problem 1, if your iPad goes to sleep or you use another app then return to DigiStix it plays with no sound, so you need need shut the app down and start again and reprogram beat. Problem 2, I’ve saved a few ideas and I get the same issue, it plays but with no audio.
Sound 10/10
Functionality 2/10
Great value
An inexpensive multi sampler for my phone? Wow!
Really enjoying making layered instruments from found sound recordings and when paired with Velocity Pad i can have dynamics that rival an acoustic instrument in my pocket.
Just one little weird problem maybe you can help me understand. When loaded as an audio unit and connected to a roli lightpad the samples trigger in reverse. I have tried 3 auv3 hosts and used every midi filter in AUM to no avail. I tried another Bluetooth midi controller and it was normal
Also if i run the app in stand-alone mode the problem is gone. Thx for reading
4pockets = hard working = mysupport
I’ve watched this blossom from its infancy into a superb and extremely useful ios drum app. The dev works quickly at squashing any bugs and has added a ton of useful additions, darn impressive actually. All the apps have a solid and similar design ethos. You know when you are using a quality app because you can dive in and you have some familiarity with certain features and the overall look. I really do like the app design templates, for lack of a better word, with all the 4pockets audio & effects apps. Ok time to play with the newly added auv3 multi out feature! ☮️ edit- please fix the upgrade price it’s more than just buying it outright to digistix 2
Finally Good Drums for Garage Band
I’m about 30 minute into this app. I always felt Garage Band drums just sucked. Maybe I don’t understand how to use them properly. This app makes it easy to get good samples and adjust their volume with its mixer. Finally I can work on some good sounding drums within GB. Hardest thing to figure out was. Slide up to get to the good stuff.
Awesome app
I was looking all over for a app that could play custom percussion backing tracks at my shows. This app is it and more. Thanks you 4pockets fo such a great app. Just one thing to add in future updates- please let me choose the different patterns with midi control. That would be awesome if I can select patterns hands free with a midi pedal etc.
Great Drum Machine
Powerful sample-based drum machine with a nice intuitive sequencer. I wish it was easier to map the sequencer to external drum machines, but that’s just me.
Verification
I purchased this but it’s not suitable for my needs. I have received no receipt therefore I am unable to get a refund.
?
Has promise but poor documentation
I paid for this app because it specifically states in the description that it allows for round-robin functionality. Although I found where to turn it on, there's no way (that I can find) to stack the sample layers to allow for this. And in the help section of the app, there's no mention of it. The 4pockets.com website appears to be from several years ago with absolutely nothing on there about this app. I wasted my money basically, unless someone can explain how to get round robin to work.
Almost there.
Special high fives for AUv3 sequence arranger for you own kits -and super special high fives for the redundancies built into how to get your samples into a pad and the option of replacing or layering sounds and how multiple layered sounds will be triggered.
I tend to default to Arturia iSpark for my staple beats with my own tweaked kits, but only because iMPC 1&2 have midi issues in most iOS DAWs, so I can’t help but compare this app to iSpark, which it immediately kills by how fast it loads. I wish it were a little more intuitively streamline - or I wish i had more time to make its UI second nature - either way I’ll have to give it more attention and get over the weird split in the interface. It is nice that the manual is right there at the bottom of the interface, but scrolling through to reach each part of the UI can be a pain in the ass - don’t know why, it just doesn’t always want to scroll down.
Compared to the other sequence arrangers out there, I’d say 4/5 with definite potential for the full 5 just because of its AU status.
There are crashes that have been consistent and annoying, but I’m sure like usual there’s a fix that I haven’t found yet short of reinstalling.
Very Nice, But
The power & precision of this beast packs a punch for your rhythm tracks it’s a must have for serious producers .Feature Request instead of just using my finger to write in triplets once hold is activated can we use the pads to trigger the triplets as we play the pattern in the workflow similar to beatmaker 3 & BeatHawk.
