XLN Audio XO

Greally great sample manager and the built in library sounds are excellent. The UI is the best in the business and it makes it so much fun to use, you really feel like you're using a well designed tool.

The sequinecer is fun and has some unique features.

Feature wise, it wont completely replace battery for me. Sample editing is basic and layering/round robin isn't possible but I think this is meant to be a quick tool to find great sounds rather than a sampling powerhouse. None the less, more functionallity in this department would be very welcome .

Overall I'm super pleased with this. It feels inspired and is inspiring to use. I wish it had some more advanced features but they've focused on the experience which is second do none.
