XLN Audio XO is an intelligent drum sampler and beat-making instrument designed to streamline sample selection and rhythm creation. Its visual XO Space maps drum samples according to their sonic similarity, allowing producers to explore thousands of sounds without manually searching through folders. XO includes over 8,700 one-shot samples and more than 240 editable beat presets, covering kicks, snares, claps, hi-hats, percussion, and other rhythmic elements. Users can also import their own sample libraries, search and filter sounds, and replace individual samples or entire kits to quickly develop new drum combinations.

XO features a step sequencer, customizable groove templates, Nudge timing controls, and the Accentuator for adding rhythmic variation and dynamics. Its sample-editing tools include transient and decay adjustment, pitch control, filtering, stereo processing, and reverb and delay sends. Producers can drag and drop individual samples, complete kits, stems, or full beats as audio or MIDI into their DAW. XO runs as a plugin or standalone application and supports VST, VST3, AU, and AAX formats on compatible 64-bit Windows and macOS systems. It is particularly useful for hip-hop, trap, drill, R&B, electronic music, and other genres where fast drum programming and sound discovery are essential.
