This is an exciting feature as well, but we’ll explain what excites us more below.XLN Audio is home to some of the most popular plugins in the music production industry. These are more EQ and Saturation based so you can adjust the character.įinally, each track can be routed independently to tracks in your DAW. The Master output has eight global effects to choose from to further shape your sound.
You can even send the output of your whole kit to the two effects as well which increases the overall effects. Adjust the effect length, tone, and volume to shape your sounds more. There are fifteen effects to choose from, between reverbs and delays. The two FX sends are linked to the FX below in the global parameters area. You have the option for playback overlap, or you can make the sounds ‘monophonic’ in a sense where they choke their own output upon triggering so there is no overlap. A built-in transient designer is such a fantastic surprise to see, and it’s quite capable. The most exciting options are the transient designer and the two FX sends. The editing lanes feature many more options. The pop-up sample editor has controls for changing start/endpoints, fades, and stereo settings. In fact, it is equipped with the essentials, and a few features you wouldn’t normally expect to see. The Sample editor in XO is far from complex, but it doesn’t lack any necessary features to shape your samples properly.
You can also click the sample waveform at the bottom to bring up the sample editor. Click the arrows next to it to hear similar kits. In the bottom left corner, you will see a circle with dots in it. Doing so will select the instrument track and bring up the editing controls at the bottom of the screen (see below).įrom the mixer section, you can also mute, solo, and adjust the volume levels of each instrument. To choose between similar instrument samples, click the arrows next to each instrument in the mixer section on the lefthand side of the plugin. This is easily one of the most innovative ways to display a sample library we’ve ever seen. It maps sample type (kick, snare, etc.) and tonal similarity spatially.
The Space section is a visual representation of the samples in XO’s library. Space (pictured below) is a most fitting title as the cluster of samples are brilliantly displayed in full color and look like, well, Outerspace. Click your way past the welcome splash and you’ll find yourself staring at “Space”.
