A huge barrier that many musicians need to overcome when sitting down to write new music is finding the right sounds and rhythms to convey the true intent of the music. This means you could spend hours digging through a large folder of samples, organising them into your project and then tediously crafting beats by hand with these samples. Save time in the studio and focus on your creativity by letting J3PO take the wheel, getting you started with one of 80 bouncing grooves, all able to be loaded directly into XO's rhythm sequencer. These beats can of course be used as jumping-off points and don't need to be set in stone. This gives you the freedom to tweak the beats to your liking and even change the samples for anything in your library or from the included samples in the Preheated XOpak. Creating adventurous, fun and exciting rhythms is only a few clicks away.
Raised in a musical family, J3PO was always destined to carry on the family tradition of music. Making his name as a world-class pianist, J3PO has an extensive background in a wide range of genres that vary from complex jazz to electronic music.
