Xpantastic!

also keep in mind that your voice pan settings also effects what type of sound you are using the Xpander for and how it will play into your mix. (eg...synth bass usually mono-centered, pads, arpeggios, etc being panned in a number of ways to get the space and dimension you want in your mix)

the point being: don't feel that your pan settings have to be a hard set rule for all patches. set them accordingly for the specific sound you are tracking or using for the particular song you are writing. Obviously things can be fixed/corrected/change during mixdown, but always best to get it right straight from the synth itself.

the Xpander gets very interesting when used as a monophonic synth for percussion, arpeggios, or other "plucky" type sounds and you set your zones to rotate in combination with setting each voice to a different pan setting. you get instant "ping-pong" type panning effects as each voice plays in succession.

does seem key to have 1 or 2 middle voices in there and does not seem to mess up the beautiful stereo spread as all.

I have experimented with L1, L2, R1, R2 a bit but still seem to have the L/R voices hard panned. (-)

I've always tried to get an even spread. with one or two voices sitting center and the rest gradually going L or R.

you want at least one voice center so that you get better pan law definition.
