Re: [xpantastic] Emulating OB 4 Voice Rotate Mode on Xpander

2013-12-16 by endofcommon@...

Thanks for your help, The Xpander is so good in single mode, sometimes we forget how powerful it can be in Multi mode.

:p, that's what I said in my first email. "set your zones to rotate". if you want each voice to trigger a different patch setting, then switch to "multi" mode and select a different patch for each voice slot. multi-mode combined with zone rotate gives you exactly what you explained you're after.

Figured it out.

To emulate the 4 voice programmer you also want to set each Zone Mode to Rotate. Make sure each zone is on the same channel in MIDI/CV.

Anyone have a Good Lyle Mays style thick SEM patch btw ?

then just follow the same steps I provided, but instead use multi-mode and select a different patch for each of the first 4 voices.

Not quite, The 4 Voice rotates through the 4 SEMS in Rotate mode on its programmer, one vice at time, and you can have different or slight different patches on each SEM, thats more what I am after on the Xpander than the actual 4 voice thing, is rotating through 4 or 6 different patches. Cheers.

turn off two of the six voices in the master page and set your zones to "rotate".

Is there and what is the best way to simulate the Oberheim 4 Voice
Rotate mode, where each key press goes to a different SEM Module (and
theoretically, sound) and each voice keeps triggering (playing) on a
Xpander ?
