This version of Xpand!2 is only available as an AU or VST plugin however, an AAX version still comes bundled with the AIR Creative Collection that is integrated with Pro Tools.

There is no stand-alone version it runs only as a plugin. Since it is a 64 bit application, it requires a true 64 bit DAW host. 2GB of RAM is recommended, as is a Core i5 or faster CPU.

Xpand!2 is a 64 bit virtual instrument software plugin that can run on Windows 7 and 8 or OS X 10.8 or later.

So what is Xpand!2 all about? Let's take a look. AIR Music Technology now offers this cool plugin in a variety of formats that can run on just about any modern 64 bit DAW application. If you had a preference for a different DAW application it was unavailable to you - until now.

Originally created as a bundled plugin for Pro Tools 7 back in 2006 and later improved, expanded and renamed Xpand!2, it has proven to be a very popular plugin, but has had one serious limitation - it was only available to users of Pro Tools. Xpand is a softsynth that has been around in various forms for a while now.
