...Why do you suppose they avoided wavetables for the oscs?

I mean, that was the FIRST thing I thought about doing to Twin2. ...It seems a pretty ... bold decision not to use them. I feel like it would have gone a LONG way to making it a top-tier synth.

why not ask them? seems fabfilter would know the answer to this better than anyone on this forum...

I for one am grateful they didn't... Just what the world needs, yet another synth with wavetables.

I'm happy they did too. If I want wavetables I'll go to phaseplant.

Twin3 is still my favorite non-remake-of-a-classic software synth. It sounds great to me, and it's becoming the synth I turn to first.

Say no to wavetables in every synth

Would you like to count the number of synths that don't have Wavetables compared to those which do?

I'd say what the world doesn't need is another synth that is locked to a handful of stale old waveforms.

If Twin 3 had wavetables I might have purchased it but without them it's just one of a thousand different analog wannabes.....

Well I actually bought it and love it like it is (well except for the bugs), and I would have less likely bought it if it was yet another wavetable synth.

Even if it were exactly as it is except for the addition of wavetables?

For me personaly twin could better have oscillator fx and more audio fx

Yes, unfortunately those bugs are still there

Depends how much the factory presets (which yep is a huge factor in determining which synth i buy) reflected that difference than what it is now.

probably the same reason they avoided sample-playback, granular, stacked FM operators and all the other stuff that isnt the thing they were actually doing.

If it were a Rob Papen synth, they would include a little paint program so you can paint in your own oscillator.

But yeah, why not BOTH analog modeled oscillators and wavetables? Pugments does it, why not every other synth.
