XO Expansion: Deep House is a preset expansion pack for XLN Audio's XO beat-making tool, containing 75 editable drum presets and over 170 deep house drum samples.
XO Expansion: Deep House is aimed at producers making deep house who want drum patterns that stay in the background while the rest of the track builds. It is an add-on for XLN Audio's XO, so you load its presets into the XO environment rather than into a standalone instrument. Each preset is a fully editable sequence, so you can use it as delivered or change the individual hits and timing to suit your track.
XLN Audio describes the pack's drums as built for grooves that sit deep in the mix. The palette includes sub-heavy kicks, soft claps, dusty hats and organic percussion, with the sounds shaped to blend with other elements rather than dominate them.
The developer also points to carefully shaped microtiming as a source of the steady, moving feel the pack aims for. This makes the presets suited to deep house tracks built on atmosphere and repetition.
Each XO Expansion is delivered as fully editable sequences, so the anatomy of each beat is visible and can be changed. The presets can be used directly in a mix or adjusted in XO's sequencer, where you can tweak individual aspects of the beat.
The pack includes 170+ drum samples as one-shots, giving you the raw sounds to build new patterns with alongside the included presets.
