About Sitala
Sitala features:
• 16 drum pads, each of which can play a user-assigned sample
• Sample browser that lets you quickly swipe through all samples in a folder without importing each individual sample
• 3 built-in drum kits: 808, retro and hip-hop
• AudioUnit v3 plugin
• Beat-slicer that automatically slices loops into individual drum sounds
• Velocity sensitive, MIDI mappable pads
• Special finger drumming mode with 4 giant pads for often used samples
• Editable start and end points for each sample
• A separate output for each pad (in multi-out mode) for hosts that support such (e.g. AUM and Cubasis)
• Sitala for iOS can load kits created by Sitala for the desktop (macOS, Windows and Linux) and vice versa
Six controls to sculpt each sample:
• 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

A fantastic drum-sample player which only needs one more thing to be perfect
Given Koala just “updated” its Samurai add-on to include the “chopper” mode which lets you trigger random slices of a sample (per pad), a feature that was incredible and only available in Drambo (AFAIK) before Koala’s inclusion… All I have to say is — please include this mode in Sitala; so we can - for example - include samples which contain slice-variations of a drum hit and have Sitala select slices from such samples every time a pad is played. This would make Sitala substantially more versatile than it currently is. Please note I’m not asking for a way to separate a slice-collection sample into multiple pads — rather interested in having pads acquire the functionality of “selecting a slice” of the corresponding sample (conformed by multiple slice-samples) in a random fashion (or by another method such as velocity, or “note”).

How do you do this?
The image above shows a dark mode. I’ve been to Settings - Sitala, nothing there. I’ve checked the elipses in the upper left in the program, and the only settings available is for MIDI. How do you get the dark mode? The reason I rated 4 out of 5 is because you show a mode that doesn’t seem to exist?
