海量音色
Air Music Tech 的专业音色设计团队运用波表、FM 合成和采样回放等各种技术，精心打造了数千个即用型 Xpand!2 音色。创建您自己的音色也同样简单。您可以快速浏览音色，它们被便捷地分为 29 个类别，方便您快速找到所需音色。

智能旋钮和便捷编辑
Xpand!2 配备了六个智能旋钮，可用于自定义调整音色。每个旋钮的功能都会根据所选音色而变化，让您能够直接控制最重要的声音元素。选择“简易模式”后，所有六个旋钮将同时控制音色中的四个常用音色，方便您快速进行关键编辑。当然，所有编辑都可以保存，以便随时调用。

主要调制
用强大的演奏功能尽情表达自我！每个声部都可以独立设置弯音轮和触后（压力）调制。调制速率可以与速度同步，也可以自由调节。Xpand!2 提供丰富的调制目标，并且每个声部的波形目标参数各不相同，从而赋予其独特的音色塑造能力。

高级琶音
功能让音乐律动十足。只需设置速率（包括附点和三连音值），然后选择模式即可。使用锁定开关，即使双手离开键盘，琶音器也能继续演奏。每个 Xpand!2 声部都配备了独立的琶音器。许多声部，例如打击垫和循环乐段，都会自动激活琶音器，因为它是声音不可或缺的一部分。

动态效果器双通道
：Xpand!2 内置两个独立的效果处理器，包含五十种录音室级别的效果，从丰富的混响到令人震撼的混沌延迟，应有尽有。选择新的效果类型时，Xpand!2 会立即更改编辑旋钮的功能，从而对每种效果进行精确控制。FX1 的输出可以馈送到 FX2 的输入，以创建高级的“级联式”效果。

Xpand!2 is a multitimbral workstation offering four active sound slots, or parts, per patch. Each part is provided with its own MIDI channel, Note Range (Zone), Mix, Arpeggiation, Modulation, and Effects settings – an excellent method for creating individual parts. Harnessing the four parts together to build one amazing Patch is where Xpand!2 reveals its true power. The Voice Mode for each part can be set to polyphonic or monophonic. Polyphonic parts can have up to 64 voices; monophonic parts offer First, Last, Highest, or Lowest priority making it easy to designate a bass, lead, or solo instrument.

Air Music Technology originally created Xpand! as part of the Creative Collection of instrument plug-ins included as part of Avid™ Pro Tools™. With the release of Pro Tools 8, this widely popular workstation was given new controls, improved features, an additional Gigabyte of sounds, and a new name: Xpand!2. As the popularity of Pro Tools grew, more and more musicians and producers came to rely on the incredible sonic firepower of this amazing workstation. Xpand!2 continued to evolve, and demand grew. Finally, Xpand!2 is now available on its own, available to anyone who hungers for the finest sounds – instantly.

Harnessing the four parts together to build one amazing Patch is where Xpand!2 reveals its true power. The Voice Mode for each part can be set to polyphonic or monophonic. Polyphonic parts can have up to 64 voices; monophonic parts offer First, Last, Highest, or Lowest priority making it easy to designate a bass, lead, or solo instrument.

Sounds Galore
Using everything from wavetables and FM synthesis to sample playback, the expert sound design team at Air Music Tech has carefully created thousands of ready-to-play Xpand!2 patches. Creating your own is easy, too. Parts can be quickly browsed and are conveniently sorted into 29 categories, offering a simple path to find just what you’re looking for.

Smart Knobs and Easy Edits
Six smart knobs are provided for custom-tweaking your Xpand!2 sounds. Each knob changes function depending on the part selected, offering hands-on control of the most critical sound elements. Select the Easy mode, and all six knobs now control all four of the common parts in a patch simultaneously for quickly performing those crucial edits. And of course, all of your edits can be saved for instant recall.

Major Modulation
Express yourself with powerful performance features! Pitch Bend wheel and Aftertouch (pressure) modulation assignments can be made independently for each part. Modulation rates can be tempo sync’d or free-wheeling. Numerous modulation destinations are provided, and the WAVE destination parameters are different from part to part, providing unique Xpand!2 sound-shaping capabilities.

Advanced Arpeggiation
Keep things moving with advanced arpeggiation. Simply set the Rate – including dotted and triplet values – and then select the Mode. Using the Latch switch allows the arpeggiator to continue to play, even when your hands leave the keyboard. Each Xpand!2 part is provided with its own arpeggiator. Many parts such as Action Pads and Loops will automatically activate the Arpeggiator, as it forms an integral part of the sound.

Dynamic Effects Duo
Xpand!2 includes two independent effect processors with fifty studio-grade effects, ranging from rich reverbs to the mind-bending Chaos Delay. When selecting a new effect type, Xpand!2 will instantly change the edit knob functions to provide accurate control of every effect. The output of FX1 can be fed into the input of FX2 to create advanced “cascade-style” effects.
