Below it I added a track with 'Velvet', another plugin from the same bundle/company. I've screen capped a pic of the track how it appears in Reaper if that helps at all. I haven't tweaked anything this go-round. If I pull it into Reaper, I get silence - no input signal, nothing.Īll settings for Reaper and Xpand are set to default. If i open FL Studio and simply bring Xpand into that, it works as expected at default settings. I completely uninstalled, downloaded fresh and reinstalled Xpand!2 today. So my knowledge level there is basically zero. I plug in a controller, open a VSTi in a program, and play. You see, I've never had to use MIDI in any sort of manual way (i.e., actually inputting information or even switching channels, etc), nothing. I got some advice, but from what I deciphered from it, I didn't manage to get it working. This is a bit of a re-post, but for an issue that persists. TL DR Can not get any signal/sound from Xpand!2 in Rea This was the issue and it's working great now. 'I had this issue when I was first setting up reaper, you just gotta go Input: MIDI > Map Input to Channel > Channel X, where X is the number you've set the MIDI number in Xpand'. It's FREE.***Update, solution - from user kafug on reddit So if you have a DAW that can use either VST or AU plug-ins (Reaper, Cubase, Cakewalk, Audacity, Garageband, Logic, Ableton to name a few) and you want to have a really versatile, and good sounding multi-timbral workstation plugin, give it a whirl. It comes as part of the Pro Tools package, and I use it all the time. It has tons of included sounds, from synths, pads, drums, bells, loops, pianos, and many more. It has a lot of features like an arpeggiator, effects, transpose, and more. Xpand!2 is a multitimbral workstation with up-to four slots/parts per patch. With the release of Pro Tools 8, this widely popular workstation was given new controls, improved features, an additional Gigabyte of sounds, and a new name: Xpand!2. You will get a serial number after checkout, then you can download Xpand!2 from Air Music Technology, just download the trial and activate it with your serial number.Īir Music Technology originally created Xpand! as part of the Creative Collection of instrument plug-ins included as part of Avid™ Pro Tools™. You can get Xpand!2 (VST/AU) for FREE until Novemfrom the Don't Crack store.
