The pack focuses on 90s hip hop and R&B grooves, with loops and samples that the developer describes as mix-ready.

03In depth

90s Hip Hop and R&B Beats from Rockwilder

The pack draws on Rockwilder's production style from the late 1990s and early 2000s. Rockwilder, born Dana Stinson, is known for hard-hitting drums, deep bass lines and futuristic synth sounds, and his work includes productions for Redman and Method Man, Jay-Z, Eminem and Christina Aguilera.

The content is built around head-nodding 90s grooves, so the presets suit producers who want the drum feel and rhythmic bounce of that era rather than modern trap or electronic patterns.

Editing Patterns in the XO Sequencer

Each preset is fully editable in XO. The developer points to nudging of individual tracks, groove templates and accent placement as ways to study how the beats get their bounce.

That makes the pack useful as a learning resource as well as a source of loops. You can move notes, change velocities and reshape the pattern before exporting it into your own project.

The pack requires XO to run. It is not a standalone plugin.
