Parts can be quickly browsed and are conveniently sorted into 29 categories, offering a simple path to find just what you’re looking for. 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. 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. The Voice Mode for each part can be set to polyphonic or monophonic. Harnessing the four parts together to build one amazing Patch is where Xpand!2 reveals its true power. 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. Xpand!2 is a multitimbral workstation offering four active sound slots, or parts, per patch.

Finally, Xpand!2 is now available on its own, available to anyone who hungers for the finest sounds instantly. Xpand!2 continued to evolve, and demand grew. 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. 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.

AIR Music Technology originally created Xpand! as part of the Creative Collection of instrument plug-ins included as part of Avid™ Pro Tools™.
