#FABFILTER TWIN 2 PATCH#
Like the oscillator and filter sections, the delay has a patch menu that enables you to save and reload the settings of that particular panel, or load one of the supplied presets. The delay times can be synced, and it's possible to set them to an 'ultra short' mode without feedback controls, for the purpose of phasing and other effects.īy modulating the delay time, chorusing and flanging effects can be created, too, and while this approach isn't quite as convenient as using a dedicated plug-in, it's a definite bonus for those who want to get their sounds as beefy as possible before resorting to additional processors or, indeed, anyone who loves to get their sound-designing hands thoroughly dirty. Next in line is the delay section, which offers two units with time, feedback and cross-feedback controls for each. Oddly, it's not possible to adjust the volume level of each filter, but they can at least be panned. They have a round, rough, unpredictable quality that makes the synth feel more 'analogue' than your average soft synth.

In fact, the filters give Twin 2 the majority of its character. This last becomes particularly apparent when the resonance is turned up and the cutoff modulated, causing the filters to rumble and roar like a stressed-out grizzly bear. Each type can be set to 12, 24 or 48dB roll-off and has its own Characteristic parameter. There are 11 filter types available, which are instantly recognisable as those found in Volcano 2, and they live up to the FabFilter name, packing considerable sonic punch. In the latter, the first two oscillators are routed to the respective filters, with the third routed to both. As with the original Twin, two self-resonating multimode filters are available, and can be configured in serial, parallel or per-oscillator mode. The filter section comes directly after the generators in the signal chain. These remain otherwise on the straightforward side, so the increased tonal possibilities afforded by the ring modulation are much appreciated. There's an extra oscillator, too, and the first two oscillators can now be used in ring modulation mode.
#FABFILTER TWIN 2 GENERATOR#
Both of these controls can be modulated, and you can also set each generator to retrigger with every new note. The square wave's pulse width can be adjusted with a dedicated control, and the oscillators have a Sync knob for creating hard-sync effects.
#FABFILTER TWIN 2 PLUS#
But then the budget comes into play.Twin 2 stays true to the series' subtractive synthesis roots, so for the oscillators you have a choice of triangle, sawtooth, sine and square shapes, plus pink and white noise. Which is more than worth the extra 500 bucks for ultimate. But then the only downfall is missing out on the orchestra stuff. So Fab Filter and komplete would be good. Im sure ill be getting bundles but thats just making it hard. But that individually will almost be as much as komplete is by itself so I can't really justify it. But Ive been pretty excited about the fabfilter stuff so its gonna be hard to talk myself out of that.Īll I really need from komplete is Fm8 and another synth. If the mixing plugins in ultimate are better than I'm assuming my problem is solved. I dont know how I can justify paying 200 bucks give or take for Fm8 when I can get komplete for 500.

But it comes back to my point up there ^^. Personally, if it were me, I'd get the FabFilter bundle and add on the synths I wanted as I went.I agree, I only need about 10 percent of komplete ultimate. Some could argue that great music can be made with only one synth. But it depends on what OP is looking for. The FabFilter mixing/mastering stuff on the other hand, is really worthwhile. Ps-I get the student discount on Fab so 500 for the 1000 package. But then ill be lacking a multi band compressor, graphic EQ, much all the mixing stuff that I want Fabfilter for. Then there is also the option of completely skipping out on the fabfilter bundle and just going with komplete ultimate. But I dont really wanna spend 500 bucks on komplete let alone 1000 for komplete ultimate. I am thinking of getting Komplete but it seems like a waste getting komplete without it being ultimate because ill miss out on all the nice orchestral stuff. So does Twin 2 still stand up there compared to Massive, Sylenth and all that other cliche/overpriced stuff? Obviously technology keeps going and stuff (may?) get better. So what I'm wondering is how does Twin 2 compare to more recent synths? Reason I say recent is because I can find tons of great reviews for Twin 2 but they are all from 2009 ish. Twin2 wouldn't be my first choice but I already know I'm getting the FabFilter total bundle so Ill get Twin 2 regardless.

Just wondering what synth i should get as a goto '2nd' synth to go along with Hybrid 3.0 to layer similar patches from different synths for varied timbres.
