It’s not as “always random” as it first appears, you can do controlled tweaking in finding and replacing and trying out different combinations. XO is different, in a good way, you need to use it a while to realize how it differs and what it brings to the table. But if I’m honest, I don’t think XLN Audio are aiming at competing with Geist2, Kontakt and Maschine. You know the usual feature list with the subjective “best” parts from other software. Seen people (on other forums) say that they want more for this price, something with features from stuff like Geist2, Battery4, Maschine and what not.
