As mentioned above, the Xpander plugin combines a number of effects, including Stereo Widener, Unison Detuner, Chorus Ensemble, and EQ. This combination will help you extend and give life to your sounds. All Xpander processing is organized into three areas, which are visible at the top of the GUI: Widener, Unisono, and Enhancer (to keep it simple and straightforward).

Widener – aids in the “Natural” shaping of a stereo image. You can change the width and size of the stereo image using the ‘Width & Size’ controls, but it also has the ‘Mod Speed & Size Mod’ settings, which allow you to add an interesting modulation effect to your signal (combine them with Picture controls are used to create new modulation sounds).

Unisone – It will help create a “Bigger Sound” through detuning, which can be controlled through the ‘Mix & Detune’ controls; you will notice the difference right away when you use these controls (a detuned chorus type effect), and the ‘Leak & Phatt’ controls allow you to add a little more creativity to the modulation of the sound, allowing you to create really strange sounds/effects.

Redo – This will essentially help to shape the tonal behavior of the incoming signal a little bit, in other words, you have a 2-band equalizer that you can adjust with the ‘Sonor & Crisp’ controls (Low & High Frequencies respectively) and the ‘Color A & Color B’ controls (which change the filter behavior for each band). We thought it would be a good idea to add a final touch to your sound.

Important note: each of the central portions has a huge control knob. We encourage you to experiment with Xpander to see how they operate and how they alter the behavior of these three sections: Widener, Unisono, and Enhancer.
