01Overview

XO Expansion: Hyperpop focuses on drum programming for hyperpop, a style built on exaggerated, glitchy and punchy rhythms. Its presets are designed for fast, high-impact patterns, and the included samples carry distortion and a hyper-digital character. Because each preset is a fully editable sequence, you can use them as starting points or rebuild them inside XO's sequencer to shape your own beats.

03In depth

Hyperpop drum sounds and character

The pack is built around drum sounds that are pushed hard on purpose. XLN Audio describes the sound as cute and aggressive at once, with punchy drums that range from playful to chaotic. Its hi-hat patterns draw on trap, while the kicks borrow from hard-hitting techno. The result is glitchy, unpredictable beats meant to stand out in a mix.

The 230+ samples include distortion and digital textures, so you can add grit to a kick or snare without loading separate processing for every sound.

Workflow inside XO's sequencer

Each of the 75 presets can be edited in XO. Developer XLN Audio says the sequences reveal the structure of each beat, which makes it easier to see how a rhythm is built and change it.

You can use the mix-ready presets as they are or adjust individual parts of the beat. XO's deep rhythmic control lets you generate many variations from a single starting point.

Who it suits

The pack fits producers working in hyperpop and related glitchy electronic styles who want fast, distorted drum patterns. It is a good match for anyone who already uses XO and wants a focused set of genre-specific rhythms and samples rather than a general sound library.
