Operating the EaganMatrix Expander
The first time you connect your EaganMatrix Expander to your Continuum Fingerboard, run the Continuum
Editor and make sure everything is operating correctly. If you are not familiar with the Continuum Editor, please
read the Continuum User Guide before continuing on with this User Guide.
When the EaganMatrix Expander is connected, the Continuum Editor will indicate that there is expanded
polyphony for the DSP sound engine.
If the firmware version in the EaganMatrix Expander does not match the firmware version in your Continuum
Fingerboard, the Continuum Editor will show a “Firmware Version Mismatch” error message. You will need to
load firmware (with the EaganMatrix Expander connected and turned on) as directed in the Continuum User’s
Guide.
3.1. The EaganMatrix Expander and Polyphony
The EaganMatrix Expander (xCEE, as well as the internal version, the iCEE) will significantly increase the
polyphony of EaganMatrix Presets on the Continuum Fingerboard. In the Continuum Editor, you control a Base
Polyphony, which is the polyphony when no Expander is in use. The Editor will display the true “total DSP
polyphony”. An exception is Polyphony 1; this will result in DSP polyphony 1 even when an Expander is
connected. This tripling polyphony effect can be disabled by deselecting the “CEE Increases Polyphony” option
in the Polyphony menu.
