A Cult FM Character, Updated for Today

The TWISTfm focuses on a rare and flavorful approach: vintage-inspired "hardware" FM grain combined with per-voice analog filtering and ergonomics designed for performance. The result: a polyphonic synthesizer that combines the typical bite of FM, rich digital textures, and true sound sculpting capability via multimode filters that can be saved in presets.

Who Is It For, Which Styles and Uses?

The TWISTfm is aimed at experienced musicians and sound designers who want to explore aggressive basses, cutting leads, crystalline bells, or evolving pads. It excels in electro, techno, ambient, IDM, synthwave, and film scoring when expressive and evolving timbres are sought. On stage, its ribbon and morphing functions make it a highly performant instrument; in the studio, its inputs for external processing open the door to hybrid signal chains.
