Xpansions is Now Online


This file should accompany xpansion.zip. Xpansions was the newsletter
of the *FORMER* Xpander Users Group (XUG).
Just so you are not misinformed, XUG is **NOT** re-forming and Xpansions 
is **NOT** back in circulation.
The files below contain issues of Xpansions from years gone by.

The original Xpansions newsletters were scanned into a Power MAC, using
an HP Scanjet, converted to text files using WordScan OCR software, 
formatted in Microsoft Word 7.0 running under Windows 95, and saved in both 
Word and ASCII text formats.

The patches were laboriously typed in by hand from Xpansions into an Xpander, 
dumped via sysex into Unisyn for Windows ver 1.2, and saved in the three file 
formats mentioned below. This should accomodate the majority of Xpander/ Matrix 12 
users. 

****** NOTE ******
Due to typos and hard to read copies of Xpansions, several patches may 
not sound or perform as expected. IMPROVISE !

If the contents of these archives help you to be creative and come up with some new 
ideas for patches, songs, or reducing taxes, send me email/tape/CD. I'd love to hear 
from you !

Spread the word. Xpansions is NOW Online !

Have fun.
