fabFilter

FabFilter has released FabFilter Twin 2, the successor of the Twin synthesizer plug-in. More oscillators, ring modulation, a new delay effects section and virtually unlimited modulation possibilities make FabFilter Twin 2 much more powerful. At the same time, the new “what-you-use-is-what-you-see” interface with an intuitive routing display makes it also far easier to use.
