Synth info:
Twin 2 by Fabfilter focuses on three areas: Uncompromised sound quality, creative and virtually unlimited modulation, and an adaptive, easy-to-use interface. The oscillators and filters, the most important building
blocks of every subtractive synthesizer, are smooth and powerful and give Twin 2 its distinctive analog
character, according to FabFilter. Complementing this is a comprehensive modulation system that lets you easily modulate almost any setting by a practically unlimited number of modulation sources, from XY controllers and programmable step sequencers to any type of MIDI data.
To harness all this power, FabFilter Twin 2's user interface only shows the components that are actually in use.
A clean and uncluttered routing diagram gives immediate control over the main synthesizer settings, while full access to all parameters is only a mouse click away. At any time, you can add new modulation sources or
remove unused ones. Almost any parameter is a modulation target: simply use drag-and-drop to create
modulation connections, which are conveniently grouped with the modulation source. The interface always
shows which parameters are modulated and you can instantly view all related modulation sources and slots.
With Twin 2's modulation system, it is easier than ever to add modulation or to find out how a factory preset works.
