80s Punch. Modern Precision.

Punchy drum machines, gated reverbs, and tightly quantized claps. The defining sound of 80s synth-pop is everywhere again, shaping modern pop, game, and film music. This XO expansion draws from classic 80s synth-pop sound design and reshapes it for modern productions.

With 75 fully editable presets, Synth-Pop gives you instant access to warm, tight, programmed grooves that work straight out of XO. Use them as starting points, tweak every step, or explore new ideas with XO’s beat variations. Built for fast writing and modern workflows, the expansion delivers classic 80s electronic rhythms with contemporary punch.
