Hi,

Thanks, I guess the KLF used multitracking and sequencing to get 
multitimbrality out of the OB-8.

I hope this wasn't a too-FAQ-ey question. I guess the answer is, there 
is a difference, but given they both cost a grand, the Xpander has more 
places to go. Also, you have to limit your options when programming the 
Xpander.

I heard the Noise Professor's Xpander tracks, and I hope I can get that 
kind of sound from it.

As for my first analog synth, I had a Crumar Bit One, then a Matrix 
1000, but the Xpander was my first non-DCO synth.

Cheers,

Jeremy.
