XO Expansion: Italo Disco is an XLN Audio expansion pack of 75 editable presets and 212 samples for XO, built around Italo Disco drum patterns and rhythms.
XO Expansion: Italo Disco focuses on the drum sound of the Italo Disco genre, with four-on-the-floor kicks, gated snares, cavernous claps and ticking hi-hats. The pack runs inside XLN Audio's XO, so you can load the presets as they are or edit each beat in XO's sequencer. Its 212 one-shot samples give you material for building your own grooves, basslines and arpeggio-led dance floor tracks.
XLN Audio describes Italo Disco as a blend of machine-made beats and human euphoria, and this expansion aims to capture that mix. The rhythms are built around driving four-on-the-floor kicks, gated snares, cavernous claps and ticking hi-hats, plus genre percussion.
The 212 samples are hand-picked one-shots for the style, so you can rebuild the drum sound from its parts or combine them with your own material.
The 75 presets are fully editable sequences in XO. Because the beats are shown as sequences, you can see how each pattern is constructed and change individual steps, sounds and timing.
The mix-ready presets can be used as they are for quick starting points, or adjusted to fit a track. Beats made this way can be tuned to sit under basslines and arpeggios.
