StiX CM is Computer Music’s exclusive edition of XILS-lab’s superb StiX sequencing drum synth, enabling you to construct and edit drum kits of up to ten Drum Pads, then program beats and grooves with them using its onboard pattern sequencer.
Basic mixing functionality is also provided, as are a trio of send effects and distortion insert effects on all ten channels. It’s a giant professional drum machine, and we couldn’t be more chuffed to add it to the CM Plugins collection!
To get StiX CM for yourself, grab a print or digital copy of Computer Music issue 244. Print readers can install it from the covermounted DVD, while digital readers can get it as a download from our Vault.
We've also got a six-part video course to guide you through the many features of this excellent plugin!
