XO
XO organizes drum samples by sonic similarity and provides tools for creating, editing, and exporting beats.
XO is a music plugin and standalone application for browsing drum samples, finding similar sounds, building beats, and editing patterns. It includes factory one-shot samples, beat presets, filters, a sequencer, groove templates, and audio or MIDI export.
It is intended for music producers and beat makers working in supported DAWs or as a standalone app. A 10-day trial is available; expansions are sold separately unless included in a bundle. XO is a music-production tool, not a general-purpose AI assistant.
