Xpantastic!

Hi Chase,
 
Sounds like the final VCA is stuck open.  For all voices if in mono keybooard mode.
You may have tried this, but 
 
What happens when you change patches? Same issue?
Is the Xpander keyboard mode set to mono?
If so what happens when you change keyboard modes?
 
Check the VCF/VCA page. and make sure the final VCA 
is turned all the way down, and all modulations are turned off or down.
 
If it's not the above, then reason dictates a hardware problem.  This may be as simple
as opening up the Xpander and reseating the IC's, on the analog board. All chips are in sockets and this is easily acomplished. Just push on them all, to make sure none have come loose. While your at it check to make sure all connectors are 
Try these things and see if it helps. Let me know what you find, and we can go from there.
 
Best Luck

I powered down my xpander and it was working perfectly (pass every tuning all the time after I recapped the ps years ago). I turn it on a few minutes ago and it behaves like there is a note stuck. Playing midi notes will change the note that I hear. Also all tunings fail.

I tried a system reset, it did nothing. I tried to change the pedal stuff, but it did nothing. I'm really hoping someone has an idea of what this is. I really want to finish the song I was working on and I kind of need this instrument.

Thank You,
Chase Smith
