Re: PSU Transformer
Hello Ian,
?
I have a different PSU in my M12. Aside from a buzzing transformer it works fine.
The following coments,?come from looking at the xpander schematics.

Re: PSU Transformer
hello everybody,
I have a problem with PSU too since 4 weeks..
2 technicians check it, replace resistor ( R17 was burn, R4), capacitor, transitor Q2,Q3 ..
order and change NE 5561 on U4, then

Re: How to make snappy bass on Xpander ?
I have looked at?doing this, but increasing the micro speed is not all.? The analog multiplexer circuit ultimately determines the update
rate of each parameter eg..? env attack etc...,? which in

you cannot make ?em faste.
tasks where Xpander/M12 fail.
Welllllll, Hitachi makes a pin & instruction compatible 6809 replacement
(6309) that runs at 4MHZ, but it
would require a partial

Re: How to make snappy bass on Xpander ?
agreed, the machine is about complex modulation. if you want a click/bass snapyness, then use something like a shruthi from mutatable - it's so hard and jabby it will take your eye out.

you can modulate a ramp with a ramp and obtain exponential ramp

Re: How to make snappy bass on Xpander ?
Thats why I said "fuget it" ...
Components and software inside Xpander(M12 are as fast as they are and you cannot make em faster.
Use the machine for what it can do excellent and use other gear for

Re: How to make snappy bass on Xpander ?
But I heard that the xpander's processor acts quicker if less routings are enabled.
It's logical cause the processor is so vintage.
I even saw somebody wrote that applying one envelope a several times

Re: How to make snappy bass on Xpander ?
i know you can route multiple things to the same VCA and maybe by doing this you can trick it into moving faster than the normal VCA setting allows?

Re: How to make snappy bass on Xpander ?
well, when you define "snappy" as being the problem, that won't have
anything to do with the characteristics of the oscillators. that has
everything to do with the response time of the decay on the

Re: How to make snappy bass on Xpander ?
Ramp routed straight to the filter ? Very interesting.
Gotta try it soon.
And to my ears the problem also is the fact that xpander has weaker soundung oscillators than a discrete old moog of course,

Re: How to make snappy bass on Xpander ?
As PeWe stated, you're not going to get Minimoog fast response times from
any of the modulation sources. However, while this is one of those things
that subjective to personal taste, you can still get

Re: How to make snappy bass on Xpander ?
One of the designers of the Xpander and Andromeda is Marcus Ryle.
That explains a lot.
Andromeda developement is younger, so yes, theres a different processor inside.
Xpander uses the same processor

Re: How to make snappy bass on Xpander ?
Even Andromeda strikes with a fast envelope. And sounds very close to a Voyager sometimes.
Andromeda's envelopes are also software. Maybe a modern faster processor controller do the thing.
But I've

Re: How to make snappy bass on Xpander ?
No.
Xpander/Matrix-12 has software generated modifiers (LFOs, ENVs, VCAs) being too lame for percussive attack (bass) sounds.
Its the weak point of these machines.
You get the modulation capabilities

How to make snappy bass on Xpander ?
Maybe somebody can post a guideline how to make more snappier bass sounds on Xpander.
Standard aproach like Saw Wave with Filter ADSR zero attack, short decay, zero sustain and release does not work

Quite accidentally, I removed the matte finish partly on my Matrix-12. I had to clean off some of the foam from the road case which had adhered to the surface. I used denatured alcohol which removed

Re: How do you pan your Xpander voices
No go because thats 7 voices :-)
In single patch mode, when I play the Xpander as a poly synth,- I have 2 voices in center and pan the others to L2, L1 and R1, R2.
In multipatch mode there are more
