Introduction:
Air Music Technology introduced Xpand! as a component of the Creative Collection bundled with Avid™ Pro Tools™. Over time, it evolved into Xpand!2, boasting enhanced features and a broader sound library. Now, Xpand!2 stands alone, catering to musicians and producers craving top-tier sounds.
Four on the Floor:
Xpand!2 operates as a multitimbral workstation, offering four active sound slots per patch. Each slot comes with its own set of controls, facilitating the creation of distinct musical elements. By combining these slots, users can craft intricate patches. Moreover, the workstation offers versatile voice modes, enabling users to prioritize polyphonic or monophonic sounds as needed.
Sounds Galore:
Crafted by Air Music Tech's expert sound design team, Xpand!2 boasts thousands of meticulously crafted patches. Navigating through this extensive library is effortless, thanks to the intuitive categorization of sounds into 29 distinct categories. Additionally, users can easily create their own patches, tapping into various synthesis techniques and sample playback.
Smart Knobs and Easy Edits:
Six smart knobs provide users with hands-on control over critical sound parameters, adapting their functions based on the selected part. Activating Easy mode allows simultaneous control over all parts within a patch, streamlining the editing process. Furthermore, edits can be saved for swift recall, ensuring seamless workflow.
Major Modulation:
Xpand!2 empowers users to express themselves dynamically through pitch bend, aftertouch modulation, and tempo-synced or free-wheeling modulation rates. With numerous modulation destinations and unique parameter settings for each part, the workstation offers unparalleled sound-shaping capabilities.
Advanced Arpeggiation:
The advanced arpeggiation feature adds rhythmic movement to compositions. Users can adjust the arpeggio rate and mode, with the option to latch the arpeggiator for continuous play. Certain parts, such as Action Pads and Loops, automatically activate the arpeggiator, enhancing their sonic character.
Dynamic Effects Duo:
Equipped with two independent effect processors offering fifty studio-grade effects, Xpand!2 elevates sound design to new heights. Whether applying rich reverbs or experimental delays, users can seamlessly integrate effects into their compositions. The ability to cascade effects adds further depth and complexity to soundscapes.
Conclusion:
Xpand!2 stands as a versatile and powerful tool for musicians and producers, offering a vast array of sounds, intuitive controls, and advanced features to fuel creativity and innovation in music production.
