Thanks! Good to know. This one has the CC+, so I imagine I would be
doing more MIDI control. I should have the chance to have them side
by side eventually, so I'll be able to have a fair judgement. Only
then will I know if I can depart with the Xpander!

reliability.
I have recently upgraded the power supply and main board for my
Chroma so it
is stable now. As wonderful as the Xpander is to program, the Chroma is
infuriating. However, the MIDI implementation on the Chroma
(through the
new MIDI interface or the KromaKult) gives you CC controls over
everything
as opposed to a couple on the Xpander.

ahhh... ok... how did I miss that?! (Doesn't help with the similar
name!) Ok, I guess they have a discrete oscillator and different CEM
chips for VCF/VCA.
I guess that makes it a little less xpander related at this point, but
if anyone has any comments, would still be interested to hear them.
