Hey Fran and Gregg
I have been following this post closely!! I've also got a Matrix 1000
and am very interested in these patchs it's a shame they are 35
euros'...Anyway I was interested to here what software you guys are
using as I've always had problems setting up a basic patch such as a
sine or saw...I've often tended to tweak existing patchs until I have
a desired effect...Also now this may sound a bit stupid but I've been
lucky enough to aquire an Xpander recently and I have so many patchs
on the Matrix I was wondering if there was any possible way of
converting them for use on the Xpander Two different machines I
realise, but they are of the same family and have a similiar basic
architecture! ! Sorry in advance if thats not a very clever
question!

Kind regards

Sean
