Xpantastic!

Hi Jeremy,
Listening to your wav file, It sounds just like my Matrix 12's init patch.  As soon as I figure out how to extract it I could look at it insound forge or some other wave editor and compare it against mine. 
I am a bit concerned though about your synth blowing fuses.  I would recommend that you plug your OB into a surge suppressor type power strip.  Are you sure that it blows fuses during a mains power surge?  It is possible that the caps in the power supply are failing,as this could cause a fuse to blow. It is a 30+ year old synth.
Best Luck
Karl

To clarify...

I live in the UK where the power supply is 240v.

I had a 110v to 240v adapter for a synth of mine.

The Xpander was set (switch at the back) to 110v. Then, instead of 
plugging in the 110v adapter, I (accidentallty) plugged in a 240v cable 
(mains voltage). Double the input voltage blew the fuse in the PSU. I 
got a new fuse - of the right variety - and it worked again.

Since then (2005), the fuse has blown twice more, just to surges rather 
than the wrong cable. Again, seemingly no problems tuning the voices.

Hope that's clearer now.

Jeremy.
