Xpand!2 Global Controls
Xpand!2 Smart Knobs
The upper section of Xpand!2 provides 6 controls called Smart Knobs. These are intended for adapting a preset Part or Patch to your session in terms of feel, timbre, envelope, and other settings.
The Smart Knobs are intelligently pre-assigned to important parameters by professional sound designers to make working with Xpand!2 as easy as possible.
The Part selector switches (A, B, C, or D) give access to the Smart Knob parameters for the selected part.
The Easy button switches the Smart Knobs to Easy mode. In Easy mode, the Smart Knobs can address a group of Parts that are all assigned to a single MIDI channel. Specify the chosen MIDI channel in the pop-up menu that appears to the right of the part selectors.
The assigned parameter is displayed in a light green field below each knob.
Xpand2 Level Control (Master Volume)
The Xpand!2 Level control affects the master volume level for the Xpand!2 plug-in. The level meter to the right of the level knob shows the overall output level.
Xpand2 Smart Display
The Smart display is a context-sensitive text display. When you select a Patch or Part, it displays descriptive text about the selected item.
At the bottom of the Xpand!2 plug-in window, an Info display shows the setting of the currently selected control.
