03In depth

What is inside the House expansion

The pack includes 75 House-flavored presets and more than 160 handcrafted, genre-specific samples. The presets are built as editable sequences, which means the patterns can be opened and reworked rather than only played back as loops.

The samples are organized as curated one-shots chosen for the genre. Together with the presets, they give you a base of drums and percussion that you can adjust or replace.

Working with the presets and XO's sort tools

XO's features let you swap sounds for similar samples with a click. You can switch in sounds from your own sample collection or filter on a specific range to create variations of a beat.

The XO engine can generate further variations from each preset, so one pattern can lead to many different grooves. Because each sequence is editable, you can change individual hits and rhythms instead of starting from scratch.

Who this expansion suits

This expansion is aimed at producers making House and related dance music who want a quick route to a full drum groove. The mix-ready presets can be used as they are, or tweaked in the sequencer to fit a specific track.

It is also useful as a reference: opening the sequences shows how the rhythmic elements of House beats are typically arranged.
