XPand!2 is a powerful multitimbral workstation that offers four active sound slots per patch, each with its own MIDI channel, note range, mix, arpeggiation, modulation, and effects settings. This design allows musicians and producers to create complex and layered sounds by combining individual parts into one cohesive patch. Whether you prefer polyphonic parts with up to 64 voices or monophonic parts with specific priority settings, XPand!2 provides flexible voice modes to suit bass, lead, or solo instrument roles.

The sound palette of XPand!2 is extensive, featuring thousands of ready-to-play patches crafted using a mix of wavetable, FM synthesis, and sample playback techniques. Sounds are organized into 29 categories, making it simple to find the perfect tone for any project. Six smart knobs provide intuitive, hands-on control, dynamically adjusting their function based on the selected part. An Easy mode allows simultaneous editing of all common parts, streamlining the sound shaping process while ensuring that all tweaks are easily saved for instant recall.

Performance features include independent pitch bend and aftertouch modulation assignments for each part, with modulation rates that can be synced to tempo or run freely. XPand!2's advanced arpeggiator supports multiple modes and rhythmic values, including dotted and triplet rates, with a latch option to keep patterns playing hands-free. The workstation also incorporates two independent effect processors offering fifty studio-grade effects, from rich reverbs to innovative delays, which can be chained together for complex sound design. This combination of features makes XPand!2 a comprehensive and inspiring instrument for music production.
