01Overview

XO Expansion: Dubstep is built for producers working in bass-heavy, half-time styles. The pack covers dubstep, riddim, brostep and drumstep, with an emphasis on deep subs, hard hits and sharp transients. Its presets are designed to be opened in the XO sequencer and reshaped, so they can serve as starting points rather than finished loops. The developer also describes UKG-inspired swing in some of the grooves, which helps keep half-time patterns moving.

03In depth

Sound and Character of the Dubstep Samples

XLN Audio says the pack is focused on impact. The kicks and snares are meant to cut through dense bass, while layered claps and precise hats add detail to the grooves.

The 236 samples are described as handcrafted and genre-specific, so they are aimed at dubstep and related styles rather than general-purpose drum and bass material. Because they are meant to be clipped and reshaped, they suit producers who want to push the sound hard and then shape it to fit a mix.

Working With the Presets in XO

The 75 presets are fully editable in the XO sequencer, so each one can be used as a base pattern and adjusted step by step. The developer notes that the XO engine can generate infinite variations from the material, which extends the pack beyond a fixed set of loops.

Because the presets are editable, the pack works best for producers who want to build their own patterns on top of proven starting points rather than dropping in finished loops unchanged.
