The primary difference is that the expander lacks the mix outputs and FX i\/o section.

The jacks are normalled such that a single mono source in the left jack is simply copied to the right. Alternatively, two discrete mono sources can also share a channel (see \u003cstrong\u003eXFADE\u003c\/strong\u003e). These AC-coupled coupled inputs accept typical eurorack-level audio signals, as well as line-level audio signals when boosted using the channel’s \u003cstrong\u003eGAIN\u003c\/strong\u003e control.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe four jacks directly below each pair of audio inputs are CV inputs, which allow for voltage control of the channel parameters. \u003cstrong\u003eVOL\u003c\/strong\u003e affects the volume within a range of 0 to +5V. By default, this control voltage input is biased by the fader position (summed), but in VCA mode it is attenuated by the fader (see Jumper Settings). \u003cstrong\u003eBAL\u003c\/strong\u003e affects the channel balance within a range of -5V to 5V (even with \u003cstrong\u003eXFADE\u003c\/strong\u003e enabled), while \u003cstrong\u003eFX1\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eFX2\u003c\/strong\u003e affect their respective send levels within a range of 0 to +5V. These latter three control voltage inputs are all biased by their knob positions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"wp-block-spacer\"\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChannel Control\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003es\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eGAIN\u003c\/strong\u003e parameter is used to boost the channel’s input signal(s) up to +15 dB if necessary. Most eurorack audio sources may only need a small amount of gain, whereas line-level signals may require turning the knob up to the \u003cstrong\u003eLINE\u003c\/strong\u003e position. The red \u003cstrong\u003ePK\u003c\/strong\u003e (peak) indicator will illuminate just before either input signal becomes audibly distorted. For a clean mix, best practice is to set the \u003cstrong\u003eGAIN\u003c\/strong\u003e such that only loud transients trigger the \u003cstrong\u003ePK\u003c\/strong\u003e LED.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eBAL\u003c\/strong\u003e parameter adjusts the balance of the channel’s two input signals, and behaves much like a pan control, especially with a mono input signal. Control of the parameter is not linear, but instead implements a curve according to the -4.5 dB pan law. This yields a more natural sounding stereo panning.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen the blue \u003cstrong\u003eXFADE\u003c\/strong\u003e button is engaged, the channel is configured in dual-mono mode. Both channel input signals are positioned to stereo center, and the \u003cstrong\u003eBAL\u003c\/strong\u003e parameter acts as a mono crossfader balancing the two signal levels. Signals that do not need stereo panning can then be doubled-up on a single channel, such as kick and snare drum, two different bass sounds, etc.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eVOL\u003c\/strong\u003e parameter adjusts the channel volume, and is also commonly referred to as the channel fader. Its 45mm vertical slider has a linear volume response for smooth fade ins and outs, with an entirely usable range. The brightness of the white LED indicates the volume position, and is of course responsive to incoming CV.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNext to the volume control is a 5-segment \u003cstrong\u003eVU METER\u003c\/strong\u003e to help visualize signal level and dynamics. The meter is affected by both left and right channel signals. And although it does behave according to a decibel scale, the meter is intentionally biased upward for better resolution when comparing relative channel levels. By default, the \u003cstrong\u003eVU METER\u003c\/strong\u003e is post-fader, meaning it is affected by volume adjustments, but can optionally be configured pre-fader (see Jumper Settings).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe red \u003cstrong\u003eMUTE\u003c\/strong\u003e button, when activated, will effectively silence the channel with up to -93 dB of normal signal attenuation. Its electronically latching circuit is completely VCA-based with a very fast on\/off slew, eliminating any clicks or pops when muting or unmuting the channel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe channel’s two gray knobs, \u003cstrong\u003eFX1\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eFX2\u003c\/strong\u003e, are independent stereo effects sends. Using these parameters, an adjustable amount of the channel signal can be sent to the two shared effects busses \u003cstrong\u003eFX SND 1\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eFX SND 2\u003c\/strong\u003e, which are commonly used for time-based effects such as delay and reverb. By default, both \u003cstrong\u003eFX1\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eFX2\u003c\/strong\u003e are post-fader sends, meaning the amount of sent signal is also affected by the channel’s volume position. However, \u003cstrong\u003eFX1\u003c\/strong\u003e can be configured pre-fader (see Jumper Settings) to achieve a more than 50% wet mix of effect versus dry signal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eAB\u003c\/strong\u003e switch assigns the channel output to one or both main output mix busses. In the leftmost and rightmost positions, the channel is routed to only one of the two busses, either A or B. In the middle position however, the channel is routed to both simultaneously, allowing for parallel processing, AFL monitoring (after fade listen), and other creative uses.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"wp-block-spacer\"\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDirect Outputs\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJust like the main mixer, XP3 is also equipped with several direct output ports to access individual channel signals for multi-track recording. Its bank of three stereo channels has two direct output ports, \u003cstrong\u003ePRE\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003ePOST, \u003c\/strong\u003eto tap the channel signals either before or after the volume faders.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese groupings of six signals are connected using an 8-pin cable to the optional direct output modules, Xcelon TRS and Xcelon DB25 (TBA), for balanced line outputs.

The jacks are normalled such that a single mono source in the left jack is simply copied to the right. Alternatively, two discrete mono sources can also share a channel (see \u003cstrong\u003eXFADE\u003c\/strong\u003e). These AC-coupled coupled inputs accept typical eurorack-level audio signals, as well as line-level audio signals when boosted using the channel’s \u003cstrong\u003eGAIN\u003c\/strong\u003e control.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe four jacks directly below each pair of audio inputs are CV inputs, which allow for voltage control of the channel parameters. \u003cstrong\u003eVOL\u003c\/strong\u003e affects the volume within a range of 0 to +5V. By default, this control voltage input is biased by the fader position (summed), but in VCA mode it is attenuated by the fader (see Jumper Settings). \u003cstrong\u003eBAL\u003c\/strong\u003e affects the channel balance within a range of -5V to 5V (even with \u003cstrong\u003eXFADE\u003c\/strong\u003e enabled), while \u003cstrong\u003eFX1\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eFX2\u003c\/strong\u003e affect their respective send levels within a range of 0 to +5V.

Most eurorack audio sources may only need a small amount of gain, whereas line-level signals may require turning the knob up to the \u003cstrong\u003eLINE\u003c\/strong\u003e position. The red \u003cstrong\u003ePK\u003c\/strong\u003e (peak) indicator will illuminate just before either input signal becomes audibly distorted. For a clean mix, best practice is to set the \u003cstrong\u003eGAIN\u003c\/strong\u003e such that only loud transients trigger the \u003cstrong\u003ePK\u003c\/strong\u003e LED.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eBAL\u003c\/strong\u003e parameter adjusts the balance of the channel’s two input signals, and behaves much like a pan control, especially with a mono input signal. Control of the parameter is not linear, but instead implements a curve according to the -4.5 dB pan law. This yields a more natural sounding stereo panning.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen the blue \u003cstrong\u003eXFADE\u003c\/strong\u003e button is engaged, the channel is configured in dual-mono mode. Both channel input signals are positioned to stereo center, and the \u003cstrong\u003eBAL\u003c\/strong\u003e parameter acts as a mono crossfader balancing the two signal levels. Signals that do not need stereo panning can then be doubled-up on a single channel, such as kick and snare drum, two different bass sounds, etc.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eVOL\u003c\/strong\u003e parameter adjusts the channel volume, and is also commonly referred to as the channel fader. Its 45mm vertical slider has a linear volume response for smooth fade ins and outs, with an entirely usable range. The brightness of the white LED indicates the volume position, and is of course responsive to incoming CV.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNext to the volume control is a 5-segment \u003cstrong\u003eVU METER\u003c\/strong\u003e to help visualize signal level and dynamics. The meter is affected by both left and right channel signals. And although it does behave according to a decibel scale, the meter is intentionally biased upward for better resolution when comparing relative channel levels. By default, the \u003cstrong\u003eVU METER\u003c\/strong\u003e is post-fader, meaning it is affected by volume adjustments, but can optionally be configured pre-fader (see Jumper Settings).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe red \u003cstrong\u003eMUTE\u003c\/strong\u003e button, when activated, will effectively silence the channel with up to -93 dB of normal signal attenuation. Its electronically latching circuit is completely VCA-based with a very fast on\/off slew, eliminating any clicks or pops when muting or unmuting the channel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe channel’s two gray knobs, \u003cstrong\u003eFX1\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eFX2\u003c\/strong\u003e, are independent stereo effects sends. Using these parameters, an adjustable amount of the channel signal can be sent to the two shared effects busses \u003cstrong\u003eFX SND 1\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eFX SND 2\u003c\/strong\u003e, which are commonly used for time-based effects such as delay and reverb. By default, both \u003cstrong\u003eFX1\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eFX2\u003c\/strong\u003e are post-fader sends, meaning the amount of sent signal is also affected by the channel’s volume position. However, \u003cstrong\u003eFX1\u003c\/strong\u003e can be configured pre-fader (see Jumper Settings) to achieve a more than 50% wet mix of effect versus dry signal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eAB\u003c\/strong\u003e switch assigns the channel output to one or both main output mix busses. In the leftmost and rightmost positions, the channel is routed to only one of the two busses, either A or B.
