Greetings,
Twisted Electrons commissioned me to create 50 Custom Factory Patches for twistFM v1.1
You can listen to them in high resolution (24bit 96kHz PCM WAV masters, FLAC encoded) on my site (optimized for Chrome on MacOS and Windows):
https://synthnyc.com/index.php/album/tw ... es-bank-1/
or in low resolution on my bandcamp:
https://synthnyc.bandcamp.com/album/twi ... hes-bank-1
They are available for FREE Factory Patches as part of the twistFM v1.1 release and can be downloaded here:

The DX7 mk1 was my first synth in 1984 and first experience with sound design, then I had owned many other FM synths: DX11, TX81Z, DX100, TX802, TX7, FS1R and today I own DX7V, OpSix native, OPS7 (and had owned FM7 and FM8) and twistFM.
IMHO twistFM is the lo-fi FM synth you want and what Yam should have made instead of the FS1R (those 90s VA filters were far from convincing IMHO). IMHO 4-Op is too few, 8-Op is too much and 6-Op is just the right balance between time to craft a preset and sound complexity.
In twistFM you have a solid 6-Op (multi-wave) FM foundation and then you can built-up on wonderful analog filters and spot on modulation options (LFOs, ENV, MW, AT/PAT, etc…).
I’m also grateful that -upon my suggestion- the creator implemented 3 core FM features: Keyboard Level Scaling, Keyboard Rate Scaling and Keyboard Velocity Sensitivity in v1.1 (which brings even more expressivity to twistFM) and grouped them in a new OPERATOR menu for a fast paced FM editing workflow.
In the 50 custom factory patches above, I’ve tried to highlight what I think is unique about twistFM but also showcase classic FM and analog (well hybrid) tones.
If you are looking for FM grit & dirt and powerful analog filters, search no more… twistFM packs it all and a load more innovation to keep you busy for a while.
I hope you’ll enjoy the FREE patches as much as I’ve enjoyed programming them.
Musically yours,
synth_nyc
PS: The preset track list numbering is different from the preset numbering in the synth.
