EXPANDABILITY
The shrouded expansion header is dedicated
to the universal Xaoc Hel expander mod-
ule which offers paraphonic generation of
3-voice and 5-voice chords in Odessa. Please
refer to the manual of Hel for details.
Odessa also offers integration with the Leib-
niz Binary Subsystem via another expansion
header at the back of the unit. Connecting
an expander like Xaoc Lipsk, allows one to
enable and disable the individual groups
of partials as defined by the bank length
