Smart Knobs
The upper section of Xpand! provides 6 useful
pre-assigned controls called Smart knobs. These
are intended for quickly adapting a preset Part
or Patch to your session in terms of feel, timbre,
enveloping and other settings. For each Part, the
Smart knobs are intelligently pre-assigned to im-
portant parameters by professional sound de-
signers to make working with Xpand! as easy as
possible. The assigned parameter is displayed in
the black field below each knob.
Smart Knob Assignment List
Select from the list on the left to set whether
Xpand! displays the Smart knobs for the whole
Patch (Global) or for a specific Part (A, B, C, D).
See Appendix A for a list of MIDI controllers
and their standard assignment to parame-
ters.
Xpand! has pre-defined parameter assign-
ments for Digidesign and supported third
party hardware control surfaces.
