Been lurking for a month during which time I purchased Stix. From the bit of time I have spent on it, I can say that I am very impressed. Pretty much a dream come true really. Congrats to all involved.
Please can anyone advise on one simple issue that I can't work out because it is either not possible or I am being thick:
Can I change the number of beats in a cycle for an individual sequencer line like one can do in Tremor? Typical application eg: Kik, Hats, snare in a 4/4 and a tom doing a pattern in 3/4...
Crucial feature for polyrhythm.
If it isn't possible, I'd be very sad but I'd still love Stix.
While I am at it, I'd like to add my vote for the following possible/hopeful developments:
-Choke is a no brainer even though I love the gate step story. Choke is a standard and frankly the two methods would compliment each other.
-numerical value entry
-snapping to pitches if possible
-Loading of tuning files
-VST Automation all round

-note probability (though I acknowledge that the lack thereof is somewhat mitigated by the cool things that can be done live like muting with keys and triggering hits live).
-Launching patterns on a beat, not a bar would be cool, though not a dealbreaker IMHO
- Ring Mod would be appreciated in the OSC section, and if not there than perhaps as an insert effect. If you are still considering compressors per synth I would guess you have to deal with the possibility of introducing 'insert fx' structure.
-BTW: on that note, if you were to add the option for compression I would vote for per drum hit compression. If I want to process the group I would ultimately run my drums through a compressor of my own choosing. Within Stix, I am more likely to want to have the handy option of controlling dynamics of an individaul drum synth.
