The problem with a Matrix 1000 is you can't detune each channel. For 
instance, on the Xpander you copy a patch 6 times, make a multi with 
those 6 voices, then detune each of the 6 patches. Then you get a really 
layered sound.

You can't do this on the Matrix 1000 because it doesn't let you have a 
different patch per channel in unison mode.

Correct me if I'm wrong!
