Xpander Mod Matrix, encoders and my Xpander

Xpander Mod Matrix, encoders and my Xpander

2006-08-22 by league_of_james@fastmail.fm

Hi yall,
Good to see a Xpander list. I tried subbing to a Matrix one months ago 
when I got my Xpander but never got a acknowledgment.

-Here is a photo of my Xpander with a few friends:

A local carpenter built a little stand for me to keep it propped at the 
angle. Allot easier to access this way.

-My encoders need spayed every few weeks and worked or they get 
intermittent. I know the encoders are very hard to find and hard to  
mod off the shelf ones. Would anyone have any info on a source for drop 
in replacements or be up to the modding of them ?

Nice setup.  PPG Wave 2.3?  I have the big wave and have often lusted 
after the earlier version as well.  Such distinctive sounds.  
I have heard, but never played with, the Chroma.  I do love Arp 
though.

Hi! For the encoder you can try here:
http://www.rs-components.com/

There are many type of rotary encoders. Take a look at 265-2906 (RS 
code). This is a horizontal, endless rotary encoder with 30 stops/15 
impulses.
I think it's quite the same of the Xpander ones...

Bye!
