FabFilter Twin 3

I haven’t been inspired by a synth in a long time. Thank you, Fab Filter, for showing me it’s still possible for me to love an app.

Great sound and musicality but on iPad you cannot change filter panning which is like half the appeal unless you use modulation, merge there is a way but the iOS specific page on their site is pretty skimpy

Great but the little “x” is too small to tap on…

This synth has one *incredibly unique* feature that I don’t see many people talking about - the ability to sidechain audio to it and then use that audio to modulate anything. Are you kidding me? That is REALLY REALLY cool and opens up a lot of possibilities (and ultimately the reason I bought this). Unfortunately at the moment this feature doesn’t seem to be available on iOS (I’ve tried in both AUM and Cubasis and there doesn’t seem to be a way to route audio to it). Other than that, it’s fantastic synth. Crossing my fingers that this will be added soon!

FabFilter is just top of the line in every way. This synth makes you want to play it. It’s professional but still just so much fun. The interface is super clean and very easy to use, and the sounds and ways you can shape them are PHENOMENAL. BUY IT

As long as it's a FabFilter plugin, you can definitely go ahead without thinking twice, including Twin 3.

We have about 6 iOS devices in our studio - and the Mini 2 is the oldest in the bunch, with 2GB of RAM (Less than a base spec iPhone 6s we have). Apple products become more worthwhile to owners as they age, because Apple actually has done pretty well with the depreciative value of their devices over the years. Especially with the integrative modular workflow these devices have - there’s really no reason not to have a ton of them to play around with in-studio. So with that introduction, Twin 3 works amazingly well on our older devices - and that’s the kind of backward-compatability investment Fabfilter has. Many old iOS apps aren’t aging that well or get stuck in “desperate need of update\eternal Inter-App Audio” mode, a la NAVE, which is an incredibly sophisticated wavetable synth that still operates quite well with no updates for a long time. Some of its brethren are not so lucky. For sure, there is framerate fluctuation on older devices, but the functionality is all there, and that makes Twin 3 a great multi-instance app - truly lightweight and timeless design. Fabfilter is aware of their customers and the types of setups they have. would recommend this synth to anyone.

This is a this is an amazing synthesizer. The depth of modulation and unlimited potential for sound design make this a must have. With that said, I find that there is one glaring omission - headphone output. In spite of the fact that the app is installed on my lesson 30 day old, iPad Air and connected to my AirPods Max the app does not route audio to the headphones. Yes, audio streams from the iPad to the AirPods on other applications. Please fix this so I can give you the fit star.

Very basic arp, no sequencer. Modulation doesn’t work so smoothly either. I touch an LFO to connect to something and it takes multiple tries before I get the line to connect. Sometimes I just give up, yes it’s that bad. I’ve never had this issue with other fabfilter products. I was hoping this would be like Pigments 4 on iPad, but it’s far from it.

Surpassed all my expectations. very thankful for this synth on iPadOS
