StiX : MultiSynthesis Drum Machine (v1.6 Released + Flash sales)

[Lotuzia]

Very happy with it... Easy to use but there's a lot of gold under the hood for potential sound design. Great job!

Glad you like it.

Yes, StiX is a synthesis monster (but very easy to operate, I'm currently making a tutorial about that), AND a sequencing monster as well ( I made a tutorial video about the Micro Position parameter for example, but I think that Xils forgot to add it on the site until now, but it can be foud one the Youtube channel, and a few posts above )

----______

Else, StiX can currently bought for 125€ intro price (instead of 179) until the end of the month.

loving Stix, latest version is working great and sounding great
i was wondering if we could have some locks on the drumpads so when changing a kit or randomizing, the locked drumpads stay the same while only the unlocked drumpads change

Thanks Lock Pads : Interesting idea. We'll consider it.

On top of that, even better would be to have the possibility to lock individual parameters. AudioThing has implemented such a solution in their new plugins HandClapper and Hat. Right click on the knob, function 'Random Lock/Unlock'

These two tracks of mine use multiple instances of StiX.

maybe in a future version, it's a lot easier though to do with an unit that only deal with a handfull of controls, and not with hundreds of parameters and possible modulations (x 10) like StiX. I'm currently sweating on a tutorial showing how to get dozens of different sounds with a simple drumpad, only moving a few knobs of the Eazy Synthesis page. It's not random, but still, it allows to get a lot of variety with very few efforts ( And opposite to random you can also make sounds morph and eveolve by doing this ) But random is good also. We implemented it in some sections of StiX, where we thought it could be the most usefull and creative ( Sequence lines, Drumkits, Patterns etc )

Some great moments

I can perfectly see how StiX could be usefull for your music : Very organic sounds.
The 1st video reminds me a lot of some of my 70s music CDs ( Even the early 'space' Hawkwind, for erf .... some reasons -don't know really why, just a thought that passed- )

Nice Surprise!

Good now I could upload some presets to share.

BTW StiX will be my main drum machine for some time on, I will make good use of it in my tracks.

Thanks.

Thanks! They also both use liqih's NuSofting Modelonia 2 for the lead lines. for the voice sounds, Electric! uses Wolfgang Palms' Phonem and Blackhole uses Plogue's chipspeech, FYI.

You read my mind Yes I was curious about the voice bits. Thanks for the info. Phonem seems to be interesting, but most demos I heard until now were quite harsh sounding and not very musical. In your track, it sounds right.

That track Thartharat is pretty amazing and StiX sounds great in it.

Here is another track from me. StiX is among the 6 drum computers used in this track.

Synth Anatomy StiX review

The video you made has some great moments too

[Lotuzia]

New StiX tutorial : How to get hundreds of different *analog* Bass Drums by tweaking just a few knobs on the Eazy Synthesis Page. Morphing from FM Bells to HH, the terrific Xils-Lab 4th gen 0DF filters, and the use of Macro Controls (In short : All you can do with the EZ synthesis page Macros Controls ...)



Reminder : you can get StiX for 125€, instead of 179€ msrp, until May 5th
