Welcome to the
Xpander
The Oberheim
Xpander
combines major
innovations
in
analog and digital hardware
with
computer software,
resulting
in a compact, easy to use
instrument
with vast capabilities.
Each
of the
Xpander's six voices are
completely
independent. They can
each have
a differ
ent sound,
and can be
operated from different MIDI
or
Control Voltage based
controllers
simultaneously.
Many of the
Xpander's
new
features are made possible because
of
the design of the com-
puters" software, or
operating
instructions.
Many circuits that on
earlier
synthesizers were
made
up
of
transistors, resistors and
even integrated
circuit chips, have been
replaced
by
computer
instructions
in the
Xpander.
This use
of
computer
software instead of
electronic
hardware results in
unprecedented
flexibility and
sophistication
with
fewer parts, which
means less
cost
and
more
reliability.
Because the
Xpander has
features and capabilities
never
before available, we
recommend
that
you
familiarize yourself
with these
new functions
to
get
the
most out
of your Xpander
Experiment!
You'll never
know what you'll
discover.
