Take your drum productions into peak-time territory with XLN Audio XO Expansion: Tech House, a collection of hard-hitting, club-focused sounds built around the mechanical character of classic drum machines and the punch of modern Tech House. With sub-heavy kicks, sharp percussion, crisp tops, and metallic FM textures, this expansion provides the essential sounds for creating driving, high-impact grooves.
Tech House draws heavily from the distinctive character of classic drum machines such as the 909, 808, 707, and 606, and this expansion builds on that foundation with a more modern, aggressive approach. The sounds have been resampled, processed with modulation and saturation, and shaped to deliver the weight, punch, and movement needed for contemporary electronic productions.
The collection puts a particular emphasis on the low end. Sub-heavy 909-style kicks provide a powerful foundation, while punchy percussion and acoustic-inspired tops help maintain definition and impact in dense arrangements. Metallic FM-synthesized percussion adds a harder, more mechanical character, giving grooves additional movement and energy without relying on conventional loops.
XO Expansion: Tech House includes 75 presets and 205 handcrafted samples, all designed to work directly within XO's sequencer. Presets can be fully edited and customized, while the XO engine makes it possible to generate and explore variations quickly. This makes the expansion useful not only as a source of individual drum sounds, but also as a flexible starting point for building complete rhythmic ideas.
Rather than providing a collection of static loops, Tech House is designed around an interactive beat-making workflow. Sounds can be rearranged, edited, and combined to create new patterns, allowing you to move from an initial groove to a finished rhythm while maintaining control over every element.
