Modulation Limitation
There aren't
many
limits
to
your options
in the
Xpander, but
you
should be aware that there
can be no more than 20 modulations
on each voice
at
one time.
The
Xpander's computers
simply can't do any more and keep up.
(We've
put
twice the computing
power of an IBM PC
inside the
Xpander, but
even so it
can
only count so
fast!)
If
you
try
to
add
additional modulations, the
Xpander will
flash the
message:
You
will
need to
remove
some modulations
before
you
can
add
any
more
Note that
this
limitation
only
applies to
modulations
on
Modulation Pages;
modular
on
sources
on
Page
2
of the
VCOs
and
VCF are not counted
Therefore you should use
the
Page 2
modu-
lations
for preset
control
by
the Keyboard, Lag, Vibrato,
or
Pitch 8end
whenever poss.ble.
Unused modulations
can be spotted
by
watching for the
modulation dots
next to
function
names
in the display
