You can also set the transposition and fine tuning separately for each part. Adjustable keyboard ranges for each part are also provided, which makes it easy to do zones and splits.You can also pan and set the levels for each part independently. Each part can have its own MIDI channel (or shared MIDI channels if you'd like), and each can be turned on and off individually, which is useful when auditioning sounds and adjusting the various parameters of each.
This allows for complex stacking of parts to create a composite whole.

While quite similar to the version that is included with Pro Tools 10 and 11, the VST/AU version offers some minor adjustments here and there as well as a new and improved arpeggiator. This version of Xpand!2 is only available as an AU or VST plugin however, an AAX version still comes bundled with the AIR Creative Collection that is integrated with Pro Tools.There is no stand-alone version it runs only as a plugin. Since it is a 64 bit application, it requires a true 64 bit DAW host. 2GB of RAM is recommended, as is a Core i5 or faster CPU.

AIR Music Technology now offers this cool plugin in a variety of formats that can run on just about any modern 64 bit DAW application. If you had a preference for a different DAW application it was unavailable to you - until now.
