Since its first release in 2005, FabFilter Twin has been famous for its filter quality and oscillator sound. FabFilter Twin 3 expands and improves on its predecessors in every area, including a complete redesign of the GUI and workflow, more and better oscillators and filters, a radically powered-up modulation system, an all-new FX section, and much more. Sonically versatile, supremely intuitive, and spectacularly ‘analog’, Twin 3 is a dream instrument for creating synth sounds of all kinds, from basses, leads, and pads to plucks, drums, effects, and beyond. The Twin 3 app lets you play via the on-screen keyboard or a MIDI keyboard connected to your iPad. To use Twin 3 as a plug-in, you need an AUv3-compatible host app like Auria, AUM or Cubasis. Twin 3 will appear in the list of Audio Unit extensions for instrument plug-ins in the host app. Key features: - Virtual analog synth featuring four flexible oscillators, four filters, six FX modules, and a vast modulation system with a wealth of flexible source signal generators, drag and drop source/target routing, and no limit to the number of modulation assignments that can be made - Fully redesigned, greatly simplified interface with easier workflow - Completely overhauled modulation system with redesigned modulation sources, and floating slot and FX panels - All-new FX section, housing Reverb, Delay, Chorus, Phaser, Drive, and Compressor modules - Arpeggiator with Groove/Legato controls, note order, latch options, and more - Full-featured preset browser, with tags, favorites, and search and filter functions, and new factory preset library - Per Oscillator polyphony mode: each incoming note triggers a different oscillator - Bell, Shelf, and Notch vintage-style EQ filter shapes - 6dB/octave filter slope option - Modulatable filter Cutoff/Peak Offset knobs knobs, for adjusting all filters at once - High Quality mode — 4x oversampling - Transient mode turns Envelope Followers into transient detectors - Curve adjustment handles for EG Attack, Decay, and Release stages - Slider mode (vertical-only operation) and Range setting (toggles between bipolar and unipolar behavior) for XY controllers - Hide all modulation sources except for XY controllers and Sliders at a click - Native sustain pedal support - Even better oscillator and filter sound quality, with analog-modelled drift - Maximum number of voices doubled from 32 to 64 - Lower minimum Envelope Generator Attack, Decay, and Release times - Maximum number of XY controllers/Sliders increased to six - Envelope Generator Threshold, XLFO Balance, and Frequency Offset made available as modulation targets - Modulation sources can be renamed - Maximum number of modulation slots increased to 100 - Legato mode for MIDI-triggered XLFO - Range options added to MIDI Sources: Negative (-1 to 0), Centered (-1 to 1), and Positive (0 to 1) - Carefully designed and curated factory presets, plus the ability to save your own presets - Undo/redo and A/B comparison "FabFilter Twin is one of the best virtual analogues we've heard so far, and at this price point it's well worth the investment!" — Computer Music "Once I found FabFilter Twin, I immediately noticed how great it works and how amazing it sounds!" — George Morel
