At the door, I have not even checked out the other parts yet, you have beat everyone out that I have checked out. That is, when it comes to your teaching - one can follow your instruction and demonstration with ease. Excellent job.
Vincent Purnell Thanks Vincent. I appreciate it.There's heaps of other tutorials too, so feel free to explore. Also if you have any further questions I'll be happy to answer. Cheers. Jase
I dont know what is wrong with mine then, i cant get xpand working , it wont let me pick any instrument it just says data not found where the instruments should be.
Thank you Jason, much appreciated. Can I do the above using multiple Xpand units with different Midi instruments and be able to control the volume on each track without having to go back into the Xpand2 for volume control. Many thansk.
How do I get them to play at the same time? I have the midis on 1-4 but I can’t play all 4 at same time. They only play when the record button is on but only one midi track can have it on to play.
Hey I am wondering why didn`t the guys put a tremolo effect in. I tried to get the suitcase rhodes to swing and there was no effect for that when are they gonna improve the instruments? Am a protools guy but gotta hand it to Logic for there virtual instruments sound real good.
Unfortunately, you can't... I would like that too, cause it's very timeconsuming and annoying to open the list and go into 2 sub menus every time you want to try another sound.
i googled a tutorial on how to install this god forsaken software that has so many installation requirements. How do i go about registering xpand2 with ilok ? i dont even know where to begin i dont have an ilok account which apparently i have to have to install this properly . all i did was buy a keyboard from air music and i want my synth . please help !
+ Yo Mamma That's the problem it's not clear or concise as to where the hell the plugins actually are, besides which I've been told I have to activate Xpand!2 via some shit DRM which I did. Now I'm told I need to deactivate it in order for it to be recognised on Ableton Live 9 however after doing so, I still didn't get any added plugins after rescanning from the preference tab in Ableton. Thing is I've tried linking all the folders related to Xpand!2 and still didn't get anywhere. I've even gone onto their website and their responses are laughable to say the very least. I mean read the official response to the following enquiry to get my point: community.alesis.com/alesis/topics/how-do-you-install-xpand2-and-get-it-started-with-ableton
generally, I like you, but this was definitely not one of your better efforts. 'Poof' I have these midi tracks! WTF?? Where? Why? Why didn't you go to the 'factory default' button on the window to choose tracks from the library (like EVERYone in world who is new is doing and can't figure out how to navigate around!). This video was a little pompous.
You're stupid. Xpand2 is legendary, it was one of the few synths that use to come with Pro Tools and has every sound imaginable in it. And since the music industry uses Pro Tools as the standard, Xpand2 is an industry standard vsti, used by everybody from Drake on Headlines to even Prince.

Your tutorial on Xp2 was very helpful in understanding how to assing midi channels and how Xp2 is used. Thanks for your video!!!
'Yy.. y-
I like this vsti. Lots of sounds included and mixing them together is great.
gREAT VIDEO, THANKS FOR POSTING. i HAVE A SPECIFIC QUESTION ON HOW TO CHANGE THE PITCH IN xPAND2?
Thank you. thank you. and thank you! I have been struggling with this for awhile now.
I dont know what is wrong with mine then, i cant get xpand working , it wont let me pick any instrument it just says data not found where the instruments should be.
How do you get the controller to communicate with the plugin real time?
Didn't even know that was possible
Thank you mate👍
do you need a midi controller to controll xpand or can you use your laptops keyboard ????????????????????
Thank you Jason, much appreciated. Can I do the above using multiple Xpand units with different Midi instruments and be able to control the volume on each track without having to go back into the Xpand2 for volume control. Many thansk.
Hey there! Jason DeWilde is my music teacher at The Grove Studios Academy. I doubt he'll see this message, so ill go ahead and ask him tomorrow.
@@BigOlJuiceMan that's kind of you, many thanks BO-Juice Man.
Thk for the info 🙌🏻
I have a mpc live 2 as my midi controller how do I trigger the sounds in xpand 2 to get my audio interface acknowledge please explain?
Thank you for your very clear explanation!! really a help!
I've setup xpand 2 exactly the same way in your video but on the mpc live 2 when I setup for midi it doesn't see xpand 2
How do I get them to play at the same time? I have the midis on 1-4 but I can’t play all 4 at same time. They only play when the record button is on but only one midi track can have it on to play.
Hey I am wondering why didn`t the guys put a tremolo effect in. I tried to get the suitcase rhodes to swing and there was no effect for that when are they gonna improve the instruments? Am a protools guy but gotta hand it to Logic for there virtual instruments sound real good.
Nice tutorial , I appreciate for idea my man!!!
Pro Tools does that automatically. When you add another instrument it will also come up in the list.
Why is Xpand2! automatically displayed in your I/O Output options? Have you set it as a default instrument?
how do you audition the rest of the sounds in the list without having to open the list and go back to it every time?
Good thinking. However, you cannot assign a MIDI signal to it, like you can to volume and other settings.
wow, great tutorial! super helpful
GREAT VID DUDE
Now I'm wondering if there's a way to map a button from my new AxiomPro to that function.
how do you enable the pug in ? i play intrument but it doesnt work
just what I needed know, thanks
Thank you!
Unfortunately, you can't... I would like that too, cause it's very timeconsuming and annoying to open the list and go into 2 sub menus every time you want to try another sound.
Good job!!!
Then you are missing a file. Maybe reinstalling it will fix that, otherwise look into troubleshooting online. You're not the only one with this issue
Good tutorial
you need a midi controller or you can draw the MIDI notes in with your mouse. dont think you can use your laptops keyboard!
Thak you bro!
Jolly Good..
Thank you
🔥🔥🔥

I fucking give up. It's absolutely pathetic. I've got Ableton 9 Suite with Push 2 anyway, so couldn't give a shit about it anymore.
