Subject: Oberheim Xpander Newsgroups: net.music.synth Distribution: net I recently had the software upgraded in my Oberheim Xpander. Previous to the update, there was a great factory patch called "D'AMMOND" which sounded like a Hammond organ with a fast spinning Leslie speaker. I obtained the patch from an Xpander in a music store two weeks before getting the software update, so I did not have enough time to study the patch parameters. When I brought the Xpander home, my great "D'AMMOND" patch now sounded like the Leslie was NOT SPINNING! I do not have a touch sensitive remote keyboard yet (such as an xk or DX7) so the Xpander is driven by the Midi link from the back of my OB-8. All other patches sound as good as they did before, so I believe that the default parameters for the Pitchbend/Modulation levers have changed. Do any Xpander/Matrix 12 owners have suggestions on how I can speed up the Leslie Effect ? I've tried varying the modulation lever paramenters and the LFO's within the patch but it just doesn't sound the same. HELP!!! Bob Neumann Work (312) 979-6533 Home (312) 839-5978

I have a Matrix-12 with the same patch. The "spinning" is connected to PEDAL2 on mine. Plug in a sustain or control-voltage pedal and see what happens. Dan Barrett
