Air Music Technology 最初开发的 Xpand! 是 Avid™ Pro Tools™ 创意乐器插件系列的一部分。随着 Pro Tools 8 的发布,这款广受欢迎的工作站被赋予了新的控制选项、改进的功能、额外的 1 GB 音色以及新名称:Xpand!2。随着 Pro Tools 的日益普及,越来越多的音乐家和制作人开始信赖这款出色工作站的惊人音效。Xpand!2 不断发展,需求也日益增长。最终,Xpand!2 现在可以独立使用了,任何渴望立即获得最佳音效的人都可以使用。
Four on the Floor
Xpand!2 是一款多音色工作站,每个音色包提供四个活动音效槽或声部。每个声部都配有自己的 MIDI 通道、音符范围(区域)、混音、琶音、调制和效果设置——这是一种创建独立声部的绝佳方法。将四个声部组合在一起,构建出一个令人惊叹的音色包,Xpand!2 的真正威力便由此展现。每个声部的音色模式可设置为复音或单音。复音声部最多可有 64 个复音;单音声部提供“最先”、“最后”、“最高”或“最低”优先级,从而可以轻松指定低音、主音或独奏乐器。
丰富的音色
Air Music Tech 的专业音色设计团队使用从波表和 FM 合成到样本回放的一切,精心制作了数千个可立即使用的 Xpand!2 音色。创建自己的音色也很容易。声部可以快速浏览,并方便地分为 29 个类别,为您提供了一条简单的路径来找到您正在寻找的内容。
智能旋钮和轻松编辑
提供六个智能旋钮,用于自定义调整您的 Xpand!2 音色。每个旋钮根据所选声部改变功能,提供对最关键声音元素的手动控制。选择轻松模式,所有六个旋钮现在可同时控制音色中的所有四个公共声部,从而快速执行那些关键的编辑。当然,您所有的编辑都可以保存以便立即调用。
大调调制:
强大的演奏功能助您尽情表达!每个声部的弯音轮和触后(压力)调制分配均可独立设置。调制速率可与节奏同步或自由旋转。提供多种调制目标,每个声部的 WAVE 目标参数各不相同,带来独特的 Xpand!2 声音塑形功能。
高级琶音
使用高级琶音功能让声音动起来。只需设置速率(包括附点和三连音值),然后选择模式。使用 Latch 开关可让琶音器继续演奏,即使您的手离开键盘。每个 Xpand!2 声部都配有自己的琶音器。许多声部(例如动作垫和循环)都会自动激活琶音器,因为它是声音不可或缺的一部分。
动态效果器
Xpand!2 包括两个独立的效果处理器,带有 50 种录音室级效果,从丰富的混响到令人眼花缭乱的混沌延迟。当选择一种新的效果类型时,Xpand!2 将立即更改编辑旋钮功能,以提供对每种效果的精确控制。FX1 的输出可以输入到 FX2 的输入,以创建高级“级联式”效果。

Air Music Technology originally created Xpand! as part of the Creative Collection of instrument plug-ins included as part of Avid™ Pro Tools™. With the release of Pro Tools 8, this widely popular workstation was given new controls, improved features, an additional Gigabyte of sounds, and a new name: Xpand!2. As the popularity of Pro Tools grew, more and more musicians and producers came to rely on the incredible sonic firepower of this amazing workstation. Xpand!2 continued to evolve, and demand grew. Finally, Xpand!2 is now available on its own, available to anyone who hungers for the finest sounds—instantly.
Four on the Floor
Xpand!2 is a multitimbral workstation offering four active sound slots, or parts, per patch. Each part is provided with its own MIDI channel, Note Range (Zone), Mix, Arpeggiation, Modulation, and Effects settings—an excellent method for creating individual parts. Harnessing the four parts together to build one amazing Patch is where Xpand!2 reveals its true power. The Voice Mode for each part can be set to polyphonic or monophonic. Polyphonic parts can have up to 64 voices; monophonic parts offer First, Last, Highest, or Lowest priority making it easy to designate a bass, lead, or solo instrument.
Sounds Galore
Using everything from wavetables and FM synthesis to sample playback, the expert sound design team at Air Music Tech has carefully created thousands of ready-to-play Xpand!2 patches. Creating your own is easy, too. Parts can be quickly browsed and are conveniently sorted into 29 categories, offering a simple path to find just what you’re looking for.
Smart Knobs and Easy Edits
Six smart knobs are provided for custom-tweaking your Xpand!2 sounds. Each knob changes function depending on the part selected, offering hands-on control of the most critical sound elements. Select the Easy mode, and all six knobs now control all four of the common parts in a patch simultaneously for quickly performing those crucial edits. And of course, all of your edits can be saved for instant recall.
Major Modulation
Express yourself with powerful performance features! Pitch Bend wheel and Aftertouch (pressure) modulation assignments can be made independently for each part. Modulation rates can be tempo sync’d or free-wheeling. Numerous modulation destinations are provided, and the WAVE destination parameters are different from part to part, providing unique Xpand!2 sound-shaping capabilities.
Advanced Arpeggiation
Keep things moving with advanced arpeggiation. Simply set the Rate—including dotted and triplet values—and then select the Mode. Using the Latch switch allows the arpeggiator to continue to play, even when your hands leave the keyboard. Each Xpand!2 part is provided with its own arpeggiator. Many parts such as Action Pads and Loops will automatically activate the Arpeggiator, as it forms an integral part of the sound.
Dynamic Effects Duo
Xpand!2 includes two independent effect processors with fifty studio-grade effects, ranging from rich reverbs to the mind-bending Chaos Delay. When selecting a new effect type, Xpand!2 will instantly change the edit knob functions to provide accurate control of every effect. The output of FX1 can be fed into the input of FX2 to create advanced “cascade-style” effects.
