I absolutely love the interface of XO.Īlong with the 8000+ drum and percussion samples, this plugin allows you to add your own sample libraries. XO automatically categorizes these and the samples are represented as grouped color-coded dots, allowing you to play around with them using your mouse. You can keep auditioning the samples until you get to that perfect sound you want. Then, you can easily turn them into beats through the 8-channel sequencer, with further mixing and processing. Once you get the hang of XO’s amazing interface, you’ll never look back! 3.Īdditionally, XO enables you to experiment with extrapolation and randomization without messing up the beat. How is that? Well, for starters, this plugin allows you to create grooves in more than one way. You can either trigger preset loops, use the groovebox mode to step-sequence patterns, or fire up individual sounds using MIDI. What’s more, the NI Urban Beats plugin has a Master FX section that includes convolution, reverb, delay, and saturation, and more.


The plugin is particularly useful for hip-hop and R&B beats. Nevertheless, that shouldn’t stop you from using it to create beats from other genres, like techno or house. Algonaut Atlas 2Īlognaut Atlas 2 is an AI-powered VST plugin that has many tricks up its sleeve.
