Synthesizer Plug In For Your Computer

People of every profession are using the computer as their principal working tool, and musicians are no different. Technology has allowed for the development of great new programs for musicians of all types. Regardless if you are into mixing or creating original works, there is a program out there for you. Fab Filter has released Fab Filter Twin, a versatile and powerful synthesizer plug-in for Windows and Mac OS X. Fab Filter Twin stands out with high-quality oscillators, extremely smooth and analog-sounding filters, and unique drag-and-drop modulation slots that make complex sounds very easy to design.

Fab Filter Twin contains two pure and solid-sounding oscillators with triangle, sawtooth, and square wave forms. Hard sync, pulse width, phase sync, and stereo panning are provided, together with smooth and evocative polyphonic portamento. The two independent multimode filters in Fab Filter Twin are based on Fab Filter`s unique digital filter technology with three different filter characteristics, ranging from smooth with moderate overdrive to extremely raw and self-oscillating. Low-pass, high-pass, band-pass responses and 12/24 dB/octave slopes are available, and each filter can be panned to create stereo effects without phase problems. Different oscillator-filter routings are possible.

Fab Filter Twin`s 24 modulation slots provide very flexible modulation possibilities. Setting up modulation connections has never been easier: just drag a modulation source to any knob that can be modulated to fill a modulation slot. Modulation slots can be inverted and bypassed, and it`s also possible to modulate the level knobs of other slots. There is no shortage of modulation sources with three LFOs, three envelope generators, and velocity, aftertouch, keyboard track, pitch bend, and mod wheel sources. Fab Filter Twin comes with a huge library of more than 500 factory presets. Whether you like designing your own presets from scratch or prefer to browse through the factory patches to get that perfect sound, Fab Filter Twin fits your needs!
