Re: [xpantastic] Why no Xpander mod. matrix implementation?

2011-08-04 by Karl Schmeer

The only difference in the front panel is an extra button and led to toggle 
between the 

voices 1-6 and 7-12.  So thinking about just adding the firmware from an M12 and 
then switching off 

the unavailable voices sounds plausible at first, but:
The Xpander has CV ins, which the matrix 12 lacks. So if even if someone copied 
the ROMs from an M12 

and was successful in getting it to work in an Xpander. you would still lose the 
code to control the CV inputs.

As Tony suggests it would have to be a custom rewrite.

Best Regards

Karl

Subject: [xpantastic] Why no Xpander mod. matrix implementation?

  
I was wondering why the M12 mod. matrix was never retroactively implemented in 
the Xpander? It's all software, so it seems like an update would've been easy. 
(And "Name" is just so lonely in the Misc page:)).
