So 40% of you decided for XO to be the next in depth guide. So here is my response, a complete deep dive into the plugin. So this VST is a monster, it's very complete so it's a bit long but everything is timecoded and in parts. So you can watch part or maybe save it for different days. Hope you like it.

This in-depth guide has completely changed the way I see and use XO. Feels like I have a whole new VI to work with. And yes, the MIDI export function is the key to keeping it fresh; a different fill every time, or building/layering as the track progresses. So good - Thanks!

Wow man... SUPERB TUTORIAL!!. Maybe one of the longest and best explained of all I have seen. Thank you so much for taking such time to show us the functioning of this amazing plug in.

XO felt already like my favorite drum tool. But thx to your fantastic walkthrough I just realized, what a beast this plugin really is. THX!

@OhItsNoctu Жыл бұрын

One thing you didn't mention was that you can also use the exported MIDI on XO instead of a different drum sampler. That way you're also not limited to a/b variations. Basically you just use your DAW once you're done creating your drumloop in XO - which helps especially with genres that rely less on repeating drum sequences. Besides that, amazing guide! Truly a deep dive, thank you for that! :)

@TheAisleOfPlenty 11 ай бұрын

It looks like it's limited to 2 bars via the AB feature. How would I create a 4 bar sequence? (the AB and AAAB feature is too limited) Am I limited to composing 2 bar patterns? If you export MIDI then you're back to using new samples aren't you?

@PeteGunnShow Ай бұрын

@TheAisleOfPlenty I dunno if you ever got an answer to this, but you can actually use xo as a midi player. So you can use it as a sampler and just create beats in your piano roll. What I do with it is find an a/b to get things rolling and then I'll export that as midi with all tracks routed out Indiviually. And as the track goes I will edit and tweak those settings. Maybe make some fills in xo and then bounce those out. So I use XO to find samples and get a starting spot set up with my groove, then I turn off its auto play and start making my own beats using what I made in xo as a starter. I actually have my main template in reaper come with XO already routed out to all 8 tracks so I don't hace to map everything every time

At first I thought the sequencer was too limited, then yesterday I started playing with it and realized it's a great starting point for getting a fun groove going. Then, you drag and drop the MIDI into your DAW for proper composition. Great stuff in this plugin. I ended up adding all of Maschine's sample folders into XO and I'm having a blast.

@XNBeatsMusic 2 жыл бұрын

Yeah, it's a really complete plugin. You can do a lot of things, what if find great is that you can get something really usable by fooling around with the controls, and you get something cool almost every time. It's hard to make it sound bad.

I just wish the XO packs were a little more affordable for me cause making my own presets is time consuming

Fantastic tutorial - thanks so much! This thing has been on my radar for a while. What's putting me off is that I like to experiment with time signatures... it looks like this is not only limited to 16-beat bars but also only two patterns per preset. Am I right? I know you can export the MIDI and work within the DAW, but then you lose the amazing features that live in XO like the beat combiner and the accentuator etc. It's a bit frustrating that there's so much packed into it, yet it has those limitations.

Hi! Is there a possibility to extract or export all samples to .wav in one go? Rather than one by one (or 8-sample-drumkit) drag'n'dropping? That would be cool, because I don't want to use the sequencer, which limits me down to create my own drum tracks in Cubase. Thanks!

Just go back to the Beat Combiner choose a new beat (random or programmed) and export it. You can always go back to your original sample if you dont safe it.

Hey, thanks !! Well the plugins is fantastic.... Well, if you want good sound and processing power. There is not much to explain, you need to spend money. Good interface, good cables ( you wouldn't believe how much a cheap cable takes our of you source signal ), 16 ram minimum. But the most important thing is the Processor. I don't use laptops anymore because they always underperform after a couple of year or less. Learned to build PC's so I don't have to pay anyone and make my own upgrades when I needed. Best investment I made in years, learning to do that.
