50 FREE Twisted Electrons twistFM Custom Factory Patches [Bank 1] by synth_nyc

via https://synthnyc.com

"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).

They are available for FREE Factory Patches as part of the twistFM v1.1 release and can be downloaded here. [zip file]

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.

The Ultimate FM Polysynth
Unleash the full potential of FM synthesis with TWISTfm, a cutting-edge polyphonic synthesizer that blends vintage FM synthesis with advanced analog filtering and modern control.
Designed to offer a rich, dynamic sound palette, TWISTfm is the perfect tool for musicians and sound designers looking to push the boundaries of sonic creativity.
​
Vintage FM Power
At the core of TWISTfm are two legendary Yamaha OPL-3 YMF262 FM chips paired with dual YAC512 stereo DACs, providing 8 discrete voices. Each voice is equipped with its own analog multimode filter for an unparalleled range of sound design possibilities.
​
8 Analog Multimode Filters
With HEAT and Dual Resonance Modes: Featuring 8 individual analog filters, inspired by the iconic designs of Mutable Instruments, TWISTfm gives you precise control over sound shaping with 15 filter modes, including low-pass, high-pass, band-pass, phaser, notch, and more. The HEAT parameter adds anything from warm, subtle saturation to harsh analog distortion, allowing you to push the filters to their limit. Additionally, you can switch between two resonance flavors—LIQUID, for smooth and subtle resonance, and MS20, for more aggressive, cutting tones. With digital control over resonance and cutoff, the filters offer flexible modulation and the ability to store settings with presets.

Perfect for Studio & Live Performance
Whether you're composing in the studio or performing live, TWISTfm’s robust feature set and intuitive design make it a powerful addition to any setup. Its combination of vintage FM tones and modern control capabilities offers a unique, versatile sound engine capable of producing everything from smooth ambient pads to aggressive basses and leads.
​
Full MPE compatibility
TWISTfm's MPE mode fully supports three dimensions of control—pitch (X), timbre (Y via CC74), and pressure (Z)—offering precise per-note modulation for unparalleled expressiveness and depth in your sound.
