Sitala is a drum plugin and standalone app

16 Assignable Pads

Use one of our built-in kits or your own sounds. Each sample is analyzed for dynamics and pitch, which makes the controls more intuitive and musical.

You can save the kits you create to your user kits library.

Drag and Drop Sound Management

Drop single samples or groups of samples onto Sitala’s pads.

Easily rearrange kits

Move samples around, copy and swap pads with ease.

Save your creations to the user kits library and quickly access any frequently used kits.

Beat slicing

Individual hits are automatically detected, and can be sliced out to a series of Sitala pads.

Shape

Adjust the attack, length and sustain of your sounds while the overall volume remains constant.

Compression

Make your sounds punchier with more sustain. Automatic gain makeup maintains the overall volume while chainging dynamics.

Tuning

Pitch sounds up or down by up to one octave while showing you exactly where the current sound falls in the frequency spectrum.

Tone

Emphasizes the highs or lows in a sound. Accentuate or scoop the midrange to position the sound in the mix. Adapts based on the pitch content of each sound.

Volume / Pan

Adjust the sound’s overall volume and place it either to the left or right in the stereo mix.

Editable MIDI Map

MIDI learn sets up triggers for each of Sitala’s pads and mappings for each control value.

Default mappings are provided for chromatic pitches, white keys or General MIDI.

Built-In File Browser

The new file browser is available either via a drop down in the sound preview or by right clicking on the pads.

Preview All Samples in a Folder

Use arrow buttons to cycle through all samples in the current folder.

Automatic Multi-Out in Reaper

Setting Reaper to multi-out mode automatically puts Sitala into multi-out mode and channel names are kept in sync with Sitala's pad names.

VST, AudioUnit, AAX and Standalone

Available in the two most popular plugin formats, as well as AAX for Pro Tools and a standalone application. Multi-out is supported with one stereo channel per pad for all plugin formats.

Apple Silicon Support
