01Overview

Sub Liminal is a sound pack from Berlin producer and sound designer ATEQ (Florian Lepa), made for XLN Audio's XO sampler. It focuses on minimal techno, dub and hypnotic rhythm material. The pack includes fully editable loops that are meant to sit in a mix, along with a set of curated one-shot samples for building your own grooves. ATEQ's sounds draw on modular synthesizers and drum machines, which the developer describes as a deliberately organic approach to sound design.

03In depth

Minimal Techno Loops and One-Shot Samples

The pack centers on repetitive, hypnotic rhythm material: kick drums, snares, hi-hats and percussion that the developer describes as handcrafted and layered together. The loops are labeled as mix-ready and fully editable, so you can adjust them to fit your own track rather than dropping them in unchanged.

The 383 one-shot samples give you individual hits to rebuild patterns from scratch. Because the sounds come from ATEQ's modular and drum machine setups, they carry the textured, slightly unpredictable character of his process.

Presets for XO

Sub Liminal includes 83 presets that load into XO. They are meant as starting points for sound design in the minimal techno and dub styles the pack covers, and can be tweaked directly in the instrument.

Because the pack requires XO, it is best suited to producers already working in that sampler or planning to add it to their setup.
