Hi all,
I've been in some discussions with Doug @ SynthArk about creating a bespoke controller for the Xpander/M-12. He has completed a mockup which I am sharing the details of below. These are by no means set in stone, but are a pretty good indication of what the final product would look like. Certainly get in touch with him if you want one, or we can discuss any possible changes here.
"I finished the Matrix12/Xpander programmer layout design (see attached).
Large circles are knobs, small circles are switches, and skinny rectangles are LED sliders.
Here is the class description:
"x" (3U, $256 retail): LFOs, Envelopes, Ramps, and Tracking Generators have shared controls, which is great if you want to set parameters for more than one, but can be annoying when bouncing between them. No Matrix modulation or Multi-Patch editing is supported.
"y" (6U, $640 retail): Same as "x", but adds Matrix modulation (1-16)
and Multi-Patch editing.
"z" (9U, $896 retaill): Dedicated controls for LFOs, Envelopes, Ramps, and Tracking Generators, along with Matrix modulation (1-16) and Multi-Patch editing.
I would need at least 10 pre-orders before I can bump the priority to Q2 (April-June). I can extend the 20% AH discount to pre-orders, bringing the price to $204 for "x" class, $512 for "y" class, and $716 for "z" class (+shipping). Just have anyone interested contact me directly and mention you."
