This huge aggregated sample pool is navigated within the XO Space, a zoomable, scrollable ‘constellation’ interface, in which every sample is represented as a coloured dot by instrument type (red for kicks, blue for snares, etc), and similar sounds are spatially grouped via the magic of, er, t-Distributed Stochastic Neighbour Embedding.ĭragging the mouse pointer in the XO Space triggers and selects every sample it passes over, and the basic idea is to sweep quickly around until you find a sound you like, then zoom in and drag across other samples nearby to check out similar alternatives, or click directly in the 15-strong Similarity List below, where you can also ‘favourite’ samples for browser filtering.
