This is not always obvious to the first-time user, but it’s quite clear in the Twin 2. As with most synths, one of the envelopes is hardwired to amplitude, but can also be used to modulate other parameters simultaneously. The Main Amplitude Envelope is displayed and adjustable in the top signal path window, as well as in the Modulation section, which makes sense. You can adjust the cutoffs independently or move them together by dragging the link icon in the interface. There is a “Filter Characteristic” menu that seems to add various flavors of distortion.
The Filter Section provides two multi-mode filters (LP, HP, BP) with adjustable slopes (12, 24, 48) and adjustable routing (serial, parallel, per osc). Using key modifiers like the command or shift keys will change functionality and everything is described explicitly with well-conceived mouse-over pop-up hint windows (which can be toggled off as well). You have easy access to tuning and wave shapes by clicking on the waveform icon itself and dragging either vertically or horizontally.
#Fabfilter twin 2 synths plus
The sound generation section includes three oscillators with all the basic wave shapes plus white and pink noise generators. Since I’ve been writing a lot about synthesis lately and just released my Synthesis 101 course, I thought I’d take a deeper look at the FabFilter Twin 2. If you haven’t tried them, I suggest also looking at the Pro-C, Pro-Q 2, Pro-R, and Saturn ( FabFilter tutorial playlist here). Admittedly, I’m a big fan of the FabFilter plugs in general and find their sound to be top-notch and their GUIs elegant. The FabFilter Twin 2 subtractive synth may be the most underrated of all the plugins in the FabFilter collection.
