StiX Announced:

StiX is our next instrument.

Developed in collaboration with Le Lotus Bleu, this Analog Drum Machine also has hybrid and cross-synthesis modules on board to offer you the widest sound palette.

An ultra-fast, intuitive, yet powerful sequencer to make them groove, and …. never seen modulations to tie the whole.

With StiX, you won’t need anymore drumming skills to create from raw and brutal drumbeats to the most sophisticated, exquisite grooves.

StiX is the result of several years of R&D. It has plenty of things you’ll have never seen in a Drum Machine, yet, you’ll feel at home after having used it for 10 minutes.

More to come very soon ...

Automation will be possible. In many ways.( No Modular Pin Matrix however )

La Lotus Bleu is mainly a sample maker as I understand it, so they make the content of the plug then?

StiX was initally created by Le Lotus Bleu ( Concept, design, functions/process , UI/GUI etc) The first company that I contacted to translate it into reality was Xils-Lab. They simply took it. (And exceeded my expectations by still taking it to another level)

Thank god. The modular pin matrix is the stupidest way to present that type of interface element in a virtual instrument. I really wish XILS would ditch it.

You have to try really hard to make a GUI that uncoordinated lol

This is going to be killer if it's in the same league as the others Xils synths.......and hopefully the usual nice intro price for existing customers

Will this be compatible with NKS and integrate tightly with Maschine?

Yes, 2015 ( unless some things go seriously wrong ) Already rather advanced but well, you never know.

I think the Drum Machine you refer to tries to reflect on the GUI the different synth topologies that could be found inside the same unit to emulate the different drum modules in the vintage days. But well, StiX doesnt use the same GUI approach at all.

Besides that, I'm not sure that *WIP GUI screenshots* threads went so well recently in KVR, and did a lot for the benefit of the companies that were adventurous enough to pusbih them. So maybe sound examples will come before.

We'll see.( and in the end, you'll also *see* of course )

XILS StiX - New drum machine coming?
