Twin 3 is one of those synths I can’t see anyone regretting they obtained it. It’s okay as long as the hits don’t come too thick and fast. Price is always going to be a hurdle as the quality improves of iOS/iPadOS music apps and AUv3 plugins, but down through the ages (!) the good stuff has been expensive in the music world. I know some might see this as a lazy port-over, but I am not qualified to judge that, I am just grateful to have it. It’s up there with the iOS biggies anyway. The sounds seem just that bit higher quality, possibly this is FF’s other expertise or chunks of their EQ product etc being embedded, I don’t know. I don’t know if Cubasis would make a more comprehensive job of faithfully recreating every form of adjustment along the way, or if it’s a FabFilter omission? Anyway, it’s lovely. It’s lovely to be able to slide around some on-screen XY pads, but it would REALLY be great if GarageBand would record those actions as well as the obvious pitch bending and mod wheel movements. My criticism is only the same as any top synth on iOS/iPadOS now, the level of automation possible. Having got rid of my admittedly not terribly expensive small synths (Roland’s baby synth I think), in favour of going all-in on iPad Pro M1 soft synths, I have no experience of ‘other versions’ or platforms/OS of this product. I really liked this from about the second I hit some keys. "Once I found FabFilter Twin, I immediately noticed how great it works and how amazing it sounds!" "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!" Carefully designed and curated factory presets, plus the ability to save your own presets Range options added to MIDI Sources: Negative (-1 to 0), Centered (-1 to 1), and Positive (0 to 1) Maximum number of modulation slots increased to 100 Envelope Generator Threshold, XLFO Balance, and Frequency Offset made available as Maximum number of XY controllers/Sliders increased to six Lower minimum Envelope Generator Attack, Decay, and Release times Maximum number of voices doubled from 32 to 64 Even better oscillator and filter sound quality, with analog-modelled drift Hide all modulation sources except for XY controllers and Sliders at a click Slider mode (vertical-only operation) and Range setting (toggles between bipolar and unipolar behavior) Curve adjustment handles for EG Attack, Decay, and Release stages Transient mode turns Envelope Followers into transient detectors Modulatable filter Cutoff/Peak Offset knobs knobs, for adjusting all filters at once Bell, Shelf, and Notch vintage-style EQ filter shapes Per Oscillator polyphony mode: each incoming note triggers a different oscillator Full-featured preset browser, with tags, favorites, and search and filter functions, and new factory preset Arpeggiator with Groove/Legato controls, note order, latch options, and more All-new FX section, housing Reverb, Delay, Chorus, Phaser, Drive, and Compressor modules Completely overhauled modulation system with redesigned modulation sources, and floating slot and Fully redesigned, greatly simplified interface with easier workflow 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 Twin 3 will appear in the list of Audio Unit extensions for instrument plug-ins in the host app. To use Twin 3 as a plug-in, you need an AUv3-compatible host app like Auria, AUM or Cubasis. The Twin 3 app lets you play via the on-screen keyboard or a MIDI keyboard connected to your iPad. 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. 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. Since its first release in 2005, FabFilter Twin has been famous for its filter quality and oscillator sound. Compatible with AUv3 host apps such as GarageBand, Auria, AUM, Cubasis and n-Track Pro.
