StiX is a slightly different virtual drum machine that basically has all the well-known sounds from all the classic machines. The sound source is both sampled and digitally created and sounds really good - which is perhaps most important. You can program both via pads, keys and in a graphical interface. Since the plugin offers a plethora of possibilities, it may not be primarily intended for the absolute beginner. The ones I would wish were a stand-alone mostly to be able to work with the sounds before working in a DAW.
