My only issue with the sample browser is that compared to a normal browser I feel like I’m potentially missing the “perfect” sample because I’m not going down a list listening to everything if that makes sense. Though the XO visual browser is more fun and interesting and you can do some crazy shit routing xo to an audio channel and recording dragging your mouse through it for crazy glitches and chaotic loops. They also give you a normal file browser so at the end of the day it’s not much of an issue and probably more a weird sense of FOMO. XO is amazing.

I have this plugin now for halve a year and I can say I use it (I mean that's the meaning-full threshold) in really every production. Why? It's all about the quantize and repeat options! These are so incredible clever and sophisticated. It's so easy to give some swing and repeat to a HiHat, there are so many nifty and subtle ways to manipulate swing / rush / drag it makes it the ultimate groove machine. That is what makes it for me stand out to the rest. Groove and quantization, this is the best, so many sensible options, there is even an option: bad quantize. Wow man that says it all. If you want insane control over your HH and tripels, this is awesome. I do not write these comment often, but this plugin is good... You won't regret.

The thing about XO is it’s lacking basic functions like drag and drop so it force you to use the AI pool. Say I know a kick I want, and I want to drag and drop it in instead of having xo scan folders of sounds. Then waiting to have it load if those folders are massive.. Etc. I have to add it to the sample library then search for it. It’s just really stupid all around in how it makes you select samples. Dragging and dropping from the AI pool of samples. But you can’t simply drag and drop from your pc/Mac file window. And not being able to double click or drop sample on to the pad, but an arrow to the pad. It’s a really bad design in that regard.
@apurvashanker 3 жыл бұрын
@@Tnevels Well, that's because it is not designed to do that. When scanning samples, a lot of metadata is recorded in the process. The workflow is built around remaining inside the program and thus this processing helps you identify and utilize close sounding samples. It would've been better if it had that feature of dragging and dropping in, I agree, but I don't think the tool was developed to be a traditional sequencer so I don't blame them.

The exporting options are incredible. it also has 8 outputs so you could route each channel to its own track in your DAW. his first wishlist item of generating patterns is already in there. and there is more to the "sound swapping" feature than what he showed. Highly recommend. Great video!

I have made a promise to myself that the only plugins I buy going forward will be for genuine quality of life improvements. I don’t need another compressor, I already have like 2 dozen, I don’t need EQs, etc - none of that, it’s actually annoying going through my plugin library because I spent way too much money on stupid stuff. This though - this is a total game changer! My least favorite thin is trying to come up with new kits because it’s so time consuming and annoying that by the time I have something figured out I’ve ran out of creative energy. This plugin looks like it keeps the creative juices flowing while at the same time actually honing in on that “perfect” kit for a given song. I love it!

The other really cool plug-in that I recommend to breathe new life into drums and creating new sonic possibilities for drum beats is portal by output.

Jon, that feature you are looking for is there. Just click a small colored circle on the left while the beat is playing. You can then browse around the cloud on the right to preview different sounds for that circle while the beat is playing. Then click the green check mark above the circle to confirm you want to replace the sound.

For me, XO beats most other drum plugins if you don't require precise synth control. It has replaced my hardware drum machine since I have all the samples ready to go anyway. In fact, XO plus a midi controller provides you with literally thousands of drum machines and millions of combinations! I also like the 8 track limit, keeps things sane... ;-)

I love Geist especially the round robin feature but there’s not enough tutorial videos on it. I wish someone would include a timing push and pull feature. Listening back to my older tracks where my drum machines chasing code on tape would fluctuate very subtly. They never sounded rigid. XO is great and easy to shift notes off the grid. Still, I wish it had a “push/pull” feature. And XO would be improved with a round robin feature.

Bruhhhhh this is a game changer for use in Logic Pro x. Their library file management system is terrible. I’ve been using an instance of alchemy to browse and audition sounds up until now, because it’s way easier than using the file management window Logic has built in. My drum/samples folder is ridiculously unorganized and massive (about 50gb and always growing). This will be a MASSIVE efficiency improvement for auditioning drum sounds on the fly.

Check out Algonaut Atlas, same concept with the step sequencer coming soon. You can have up to 64 channels though and you can modify the samples, you press New Kit, and it randomly select samples from your collection, respecting what was loaded on each pad previously, so the Kick pad will have a new kick loaded on it and so on. You can have multiple "maps" as they're called, your collection of samples. So if you wanted to create Deep House loops, you can select the folder containing samples most suitable for Deep House, if it's Psy-Trance, same thing.
