Sitala is a free drum plugin and standalone app.

Sitala's beauty is its simplicity: its six knobs allow you to quickly explore the sound space and dial in just the sound you had in mind.

Controls:

• Shape: Adjust attack, length and sustain of your sounds while the overall volume remains constant.
• Compression: Make sounds punchier with more sustain. Automatic gain makeup maintains the overall volume while changing dynamics.
• Tuning: Pitch sounds up or down by up to one octave.
• Tone: Emphasizes the highs or lows in a sound. Accentuate or scoop the mids to position the sound in the mix. Adapts based on the pitch content of each sound. Operates as a high-pass, low-pass, sweepable mid-boost or mid-scoop EQ.
• Volume
• Pan

16 Assignable Pads:

• Velocity sensitive.
• Assignable trigger and kill groups.
• Mappable with MIDI learn, sequential notes or General MIDI.
• Drag in single sounds, or use multi-drag to set entire kits at once.
• Each sample is analyzed for dynamics and pitch, and the controls are automatically adjusted to have a wider effective range and more musical expressiveness.

Audio Engine:

• Selectable stereo output or 16-channel one-output-per-pad.
• Standalone, VST and Audio Unit support.
