FabFilter Twin will please even the most demanding ears with two absolutely aliasing-free oscillators and two state-of-the-art multimode filters. Three LFOs and three EGs ensure there are plenty of modulation possibilities. It's a breeze to program with the unique drag-and-drop modulation matrix, which even allows modulation slots to modulate each other. And with over 800 presets by our professional sound designers, there are always new sounds to try.

Twin's oscillators were originally developed from scratch for the award-winning FabFilter One. They feature sawtooth, triangle, and square wave forms, as well as pulse width modulation, hard sync, phase sync, and individual panning.
Two highest-quality multimode filters allow you to shape the sound any way you want. Each filter has six filter characteristics that define the unique sound and overdrive of the filter. They range from smooth with moderate overdrive to raw, self-oscillating and over-the-top! Tweak the filters with the interactive filter display.
One of Twin's best features is its drag-and-drop modulation matrix. To fill a modulation slot, simply drag the source button for a modulation source to the knob that you want to modulate! You can create incredibly complex sounds with ease by letting modulation slots modulate each other.
There is no shortage of modulation sources either with three LFOs, three EGs, velocity, aftertouch, mod wheel, pitch bend, and keyboard track. Each of these can modulate any modulation target.
The LFOs feature tempo/MIDI sync, triangle, sine, S&H, and random wave forms. The wave balance is adjustable. The LFO frequency is a modulation target. The EGs have delay and hold settings, and all EG settings can be modulated as well.
Finally, you get all the standard FabFilter goodies: perfectly fine-tuned knobs that work both in vertical and circular drag modes, interactive MIDI Learn, Smart Parameter Interpolation for smooth parameter transitions, over 800 great presets, unique per-component presets, extensive help file with interactive help hints, sample accurate automation for all parameters, AltiVec and SSE optimization, and much more.
