DS8 Drumstream is in active development, so feedback is very useful at this stage.

Use this thread to report bugs, crashes, audio glitches, UI issues, confusing behavior, or anything that does not work as expected. You can also leave general feedback, feature requests, workflow suggestions, or notes on how the app feels on real hardware.

When reporting a bug, please include your PS Vita model, firmware / homebrew setup if relevant, DS8 version number, and the steps needed to reproduce the issue.

Thanks for testing DS8 and helping improve it.

Hi !

What a cool project, thank you for creating something new for vita ! The sounds are really quite good,  I really enjoy the master effects too - I think they could be used for performance well ! 

Excited to see how the project progresses, I hope to spend a little more time trying it out over the next few days. Initially I do seem to hear some audio clipping when adding effects, or multiple voices, I wonder if a limiter/compressor at some point in the audio chain could be a nice feature, it might be user error on my part though.

Otherwise I wondered if there might be a facility for saving sounds and patterns planned? And if you have considered any sync possibilities to other pieces of gear?

(I found you through the youtube video you put up, FYI!)

Thanks for the detailed feedback! Very good to hear you're enjoying the DS8 and indeed your asks are on the roadmap, specifically:

- limiter/performance improvements to avoid occasional glitches and distortion TBC

- compressor with sidechain, WIP

- saving patterns: coming with the next release

- saving individual sound and fx combo presets: TBC

- sync capability: I'm going to explore writing a kernel plugin to expose the Vita as a USB midi HID device , or perhaps Ableton Link support over  WiFi  and Bluetooth BLE midi sync, very early


Keep the feedback coming!

Sampler slicing is coming to DS8!

Quick teaser of the new sampler slicer coming to DS8 v0.3 — slicing up a few seconds of the classic Amen break and sequencing it directly on the Vita:



Sampling, more engines, step FX and more are coming soon.

Loving the updates! Had some feedback:

Is there no way to remove synth notes? The analog sliders are hard to set specific values like getting the hp/lp back to center or specific starting note for chord.

Bought a battery and new memory card to fix my vita just for this. Play with it almost daily now. It solved my problem of wanting to make fun sounds waiting but I've started using it as a backing track to noodle on guitar.

Hi and thanks for the feedback! You're right, at the moment there is no quick way to remove notes from a sequence for a specific track (I''m working on a few sequence specific tools for the next update!), however you can use the GENERATE tool and set the SEED value to "ALL OFF" which once applied to the sequence will remove all triggers.
