XLN Audio has introduced two new expansion packs for its XO beatmaker plugin which allows users to organize and seamlessly explore your drum samples in a new and exciting way.
XO Expansion: Deep House is built around subtle, rolling grooves that sit deep in the mix and carry the track without taking up space.
Warm, rounded kicks, flowing percussion, and carefully shaped microtiming create a steady sense of movement that lets the track breathe. You get the essential deep house palette. Sub-heavy kicks, soft claps, dusty hats, and organic percussion – shaped to blend, not dominate.
Perfect for deep house tracks built on atmosphere, repetition, and groove. Deep House is where the drums don’t lead, but everything depends on them.
XO Expansion: Hyperpop offers excessive-on-purpose drums packed with punch, attitude, and candy-coated chaos.
Everything is pushed just a little too far, and that’s exactly where it starts to work. Punchy, high-impact drum sounds range from cute to chaotic and are pushed beyond any reasonable limits. That’s where Hyperpop lives, where way too much is just right.
It’s filled to the brim with Trap-inspired hi-hat patterns that meet hard-hitting Techno kicks in glitchy, unpredictable beats. The result is in-your-face drums that are impossible to ignore.
With 75 fully-editable presets each, the expansions are available to purchase for $39 USD each at the XLN Audio store and from Plugin Boutique.
