Re: [xpantastic] OB8 versus Xpander

2008-08-10 by William Cason

I had an OB-8 once, no MIDI. Now I have an M12.  I haven't put the two side by side, but I haven't missed anything soundwise from the OB-8 to the M12, in fact it's got so much more modulation stuff I would def not trade it for the OB-8.  Plus, the 12-part multitimbrality and 12 ind outs is much better than the two-part, two output OB-8 (I always use multi-timbral, multi mode, ind outs).
 
Maybe I'm wrong cause I never put the two side by side, anyone else?

Hi,

I know the KLF used a OB-8 to create some great textures (along with an 
S900 for samples).

Is the Xpander capable of sounding as good? Even if we don't say it's 
got a greater variety of sounds.

There are definitely time when I flip through the Xpander's banks and it 
doesn't quite satisfy me.

Thanks,

Jeremy.
