Rediscover Your Entire Drum Sample Collection
XLN Audio XO Complete redefines how producers explore, organize, and build drum tracks. Instead of endlessly clicking through nested folders and cryptic file names, XO scans your entire hard drive and organizes every one-shot drum sample onto an intuitive color-coded constellation map. Samples with similar frequency profiles, decay times, and timbre naturally cluster together.

Simply point and drag through the XO Space to audition kicks, snares, hats, percussions, and acoustic transients in seconds, turning hours of sample searching into instant inspiration.

Intuitive Beatmaking with Instant Export
XO combines its powerful sound discovery engine with a versatile 8-track beat sequencer. Program intricate polyrhythmic grooves, apply signature velocity dynamics, and fine-tune sounds with onboard filters, pitch envelopes, transient shapers, bitcrushers, and spatial reverbs/delays. When your groove is ready, drag the audio stems or MIDI directly onto your DAW timeline.

Space & Discovery Engine:

• XO Space Map: Sorts kicks, snares, claps, hats, and percussion visually by acoustic characteristics.
