Digidesign is proud to introduce the Digidesign® Advanced Instrument Research group — a new division that is dedicated to creating powerful virtual instruments purpose built for the Pro Tools® environment. The Advanced Instrument Research group is showcasing two new exciting virtual instruments at this year’s NAMM convention: the Xpand!™ sample-playback/synthesis workstation and the Hybrid analog/digital high-definition synthesizer.

Xpand!

Xpand! is a free RTAS® sample-playback/synthesis workstation plug-in that provides fast, efficient ways to access and manipulate thousands of high-quality sounds directly from within Pro Tools.

Xpand! is free! Pick up a free Xpand! CD installer at NAMM. Beginning soon, you’ll be able to order an Xpand! CD installer from the online DigiStore for a small handling fee. Because of the size of the installer, it will not be available for download.
