What it is
XO Expansion: Italo Disco is a sound pack for XLN Audio's XO drum machine plugin, built around the machine-driven grooves of 1980s Italian disco. It includes 75 fully editable drum sequences and 212 handcrafted one-shot samples covering four-on-the-floor kicks, gated snares, cavernous claps, and ticking hi-hats designed to sit under arpeggiated synths and driving basslines. Every sequence is transparent, meaning you can see and rework how each beat was built rather than just triggering a static loop.
Who it's for
Producers chasing retro-futuristic dance and synthwave-adjacent sounds, especially anyone building tracks around Italo disco, nu-disco, or 80s-inspired electronic music who wants authentic, period-correct drum programming without recreating it from scratch.
