Xpantastic!

Omar is correct, the oscillators in the Xpander will not respond any more quickly if they are sequenced over CV (Silent Way, hardware sequencer, etc). The reason is that the CV/Gate inputs only accept pitch and Gate (note on/off) signals. Each patch on the Xpander has its own envelope settings and sending a CV/Gate signal will not change the existing limitations of the envelopes, it just plays the note as if you had connected a MIDI or CV/Gate keyboard. The Xpander is not the right synth for that snappy bass sound, though it can make a much wider variety of sounds than many synths that _can_ make that type of sound.
