Twisted Electrons Twist

Such a shame this one suffers from the exact same issue the MegaFM has, which is the fact that once a preset has been recalled, its impossible to “see” where the parameters of a patch are set to exactly.

I wouldn’t call it an issue, I see it as part of the concept using twist, like others have their limitations, or different workflows.
I knew from the beginning on, that the Twist does not have this and it did not bother me at all when I noodled with it recently. For me it is more about “what you hear is what you get” and happy accidents when you move faders to find out what it changes and personally I am grateful that I do not have to look at a screen permanently. I totally understand others find it very useful in other scenarios, but for me it is not needed. Choosing Algorithms and Waves have a little light each when you move faders though (edit: and visual feedback of LFO rates and waves, Filter types and cutoff/reso values, of multis, …? ).

So far I find it surprisingly fun to use, a whole different experience of creating sounds compared to other synth I owned. It actually helped me a bit to have more fun and make more music recently and that’s a good thing
