Description

Sitala is a compact drum sampler from Decomposer that runs as a plugin or standalone app. Its 16 assignable pads, velocity response, trigger and kill groups, MIDI mapping, envelope shaping, automatic-gain-compensated compression, and two-octave tuning cover the core tasks of building and shaping one-shot kits.

Stereo output or 16-channel per-pad output supports both quick sketching and separate mixing. The supplied listing identifies VST and AU formats plus Win32, Win64, macOS, and Linux entries, and describes a small CPU footprint.
