Let's talk about the Xpander for a change. Throw 12 oscillators at bass patch if you want to hear what "fat" really sounds like. If you want "slar" effects, there's the lag processor. Polyphonic voices that move around the stereo field? no problem. Wanna cycle through different timbres when playing back your sequencer lines like a Mono/Poly? use three timbres agains a melodic line in 4/4? again, no problem. This box is God. It's a MAN'S SYNTHESIZER. Now take your little silver chiclet-thingies and sit in the corner... (g) oh yeah, and it looks cool, too. One young lass I invited back to my abode commented - "that thing looks intimidating! can you repel a Soviet nuclear strike with it?" and of course, the answer was "yes". ****************************************************************** * |\\ /|| * "Life is a well of joy; but where the rabble * * ||\\ //|| * drinks too, all wells are poisoned.
