It seems to have the same waveforms as the Blast Beats, and the same FM algos but with a couple of extra 2-op options.
I quite like the new faders setup for the LFOs.
And I guess thatâs a touch strip of some kind?
Could it be based around the Yamaha 2149 FM (PSG) chips used in the atari ST? The name âTWISTâ follows that naming convention at least in theory (ie hapiNES, therapSID, BLASTbeats, MEGAfm, etc).
Either way, adding a third FM synth is an interesting choice.
Looking at the image I can make out that two of the operators, operator1 and operator5, have: algo, vol, feed(?), wav, fat(op1)/tune(op2), mult, and a/d/s/r faders.
The other four operators, 2/3/4/6 all have vol, wav, mult, and a/d/s/r faders.
So that would make it a 6-op synth, except that we can only see 4-op algos on the top, so Iâm not sure what the structure is exactly. I might be misreading the labels.
Canât wait to hear a demo of it!
Oh snap must buy!
Good eye. I just noticed that OP5 and OP6 have their own little algos next to the other 4OP algos. So it has to have some kind of multi-timbrality, I would guess!
Yeah thatâs what I was thinking too, itâs just a little hard to make out the numbers on the 2-op markings.
Could that be essentially just another âoscillatorâ? Like you could use 5+6 for a sub osc or whatever.
Looks like it has a filter section with cutoff and resonance too, really nice to see that as itâs something I wish was integrated into the MEGAfm tbh.
Wow, i Will sure keep an eye out for This one
Sounds very interesting. Like a MEGAfm with analog filters! Limbic Bits mentioned it has analog filters?
Obviously an insta-buy but also what is this thing on the top right? It would be irresponsible not to speculateâŚ
It uses the same knobs as the MEGAfm from the looks of it so could be built by Twisted Electrons too? We need some inside info asap 
It has soft footswitches on it and DIN midi / USB both visible coming out of the back, so it most closely resembles a midi foot controller of some sort. I assume that theyâre using it to toggle routing for the synths theyâre demoing to the keyboard controller without having to physically touch the laptop, or maybe theyâre dawless and have a patch bay somewhere?
Donât know what the encoders control, might be selecting bank and channel, might be assignable, itâs not being used in the video so really no way to know.
We canât see the right hand side of it, so there could be audio in/out. My first thought was some kind of prototype FX unit. Havenât seen any better footage of that booth yet so itâs hard to say.
Twist FM was certainly my favorite synth at the Superbooth.
Vintage FM plus analog multi mode filter for each voice. Great sound
The only thing Iâve really missed on the MegaFM is a filter. So this looks really cool
Wow, every machine that TE makes is special and unique. I didnât want to spend more money in synths 
This is definitely an instabuy since MEGAfm is already my favourite synth. Canât wait for your future sound pack 
According gear news, the price is under 1000. Too much for me if itâs close to 1000, but I wish all the best for TE. He makes awesome devices
Any word on what the actual chips are? Ah, Gear News says its the same as in the blast beats YMF262/OPL3 FM
