Peak filters sounds cool! Is the AM filter similar to malstroms?

Yeah, the AM filter is similar in concept.

By the way, thanks for all the updates on expanse and zero!!! You guys are pretty cool to keep refining some of reasons best REs (my opinion of course) but they do see the most use and the commercial was correct poor Thor has virtual dust

Blamsoft is a shining example of the RE format being strong!

Nice!

That said, no new patches showcasing the new features?

Not at this time, we simply didn't have time for it this time around. But I might post some patches later to show some cool stuff I've been trying out.

Cool; thanks! Expanse is still one of my alltime favorite RE's.

Here are some examples Rhythmic patches that make up a primitive stepper, etc. On "Bro Doctor" and "Giants Leap" the Mod EGs act like modulators (LFO's) and the CC SEQs are used as scales, dictating when Mod EG 2 or 3 is engaged. On Trance Gate, the CC SEQ acts like a gate for the Amp EG.

The CC SEQs as scales make up for several exciting modulation possibilities, and you can also add lag to either of the two CC SEQs to smooth them out. You can also use the CC SEQs together with the LFO's but the CC SEQs should then be set to LFO mode combined with tempo synced LFOs for the best result.

Nice!!!! These are awesome. I know I gave you guys shit for not including a dual-stepper with Expanse (as I'm a massive fan of one-finger instant awesome aka Spire), so this helps. Cheers!

Here's a couple of patches I've just made. Nothing fancy just trying to get acquainted with the new features :)
