Re: The pure size of the Matrix-12
before purchasing my Xpander, a good friend of mine let me borrow his Matrix-12 and about the only use case I found the detune to be very nice was when programming pads/strings. with a subtle amount

Re: The pure size of the Matrix-12

All right, thank you, very useful information. So just two hardwave versions, then. That should be easy. I notice that all Xpanders for sale these days are Japanese versions. Great, thanks! Will try
