XLN Audio is a Stockholm-based music software company founded in 2005 by Lars Erlandsson and Niklas Möller, with involvement from Grammy-winning songwriter and producer Max Martin. The company develops virtual instruments and audio effects plugins used by producers, songwriters, and musicians across genres.

XLN Audio's flagship product, Addictive Drums 2, is a comprehensive drum production studio featuring professionally recorded drum kits, built-in effects, and MIDI performances. Their other instruments include Addictive Keys, a acclaimed virtual piano plugin; XO, a drum sampler that uses machine learning to visually organize and explore sample libraries; and Life, a generative beat-making tool that transforms any audio into rhythmic patterns.

On the effects side, RC-20 Retro Color has become one of the most widely used lo-fi and analog-character plugins in modern production, adding vinyl noise, wobble, tape saturation, and other vintage textures to any signal. The DS-10 Drum Shaper and DB-30 Drum Butter round out their effects lineup as specialized drum processing tools, while Addictive Trigger provides intelligent drum replacement using audio fingerprint technology.

XLN Audio has 74 products cataloged on Equipboard, including Expansion Packs, Virtual Instrument, and Drum Machine. Their gear is featured by 70 artists, with the strongest followings in Electronic, Pop, and Rock. Notable users include Andrew Huang, Kazuki Washiyama, and Tyler Joseph.
