We have about 6 iOS devices in our studio - and the Mini 2 is the oldest in the bunch, with 2GB of RAM (Less than a base spec iPhone 6s we have). Apple products become more worthwhile to owners as they age, because Apple actually has done pretty well with the depreciative value of their devices over the years. Especially with the integrative modular workflow these devices have - there’s really no reason not to have a ton of them to play around with in-studio. So with that introduction, Twin 3 works amazingly well on our older devices - and that’s the kind of backward-compatability investment Fabfilter has. Many old iOS apps aren’t aging that well or get stuck in “desperate need of update\eternal Inter-App Audio” mode, a la NAVE, which is an incredibly sophisticated wavetable synth that still operates quite well with no updates for a long time. Some of its brethren are not so lucky. For sure, there is framerate fluctuation on older devices, but the functionality is all there, and that makes Twin 3 a great multi-instance app - truly lightweight and timeless design. Fabfilter is aware of their customers and the types of setups they have. would recommend this synth to anyone.

One of the benefits of the Auria Pro DAW app early on in iOS music production was the IAP FabFilter apps that were available in the Auria store for purchase. But included with each Auria purchase was the FabFilter Twin 2 synth. When FabFilter released their plugins on the App Store in AUv3 format the Twin 2 synth wasn’t included. Now the waiting is over with Twin 3. It’s everything that made Twin 2 so special and then some. The gorgeous user interface is pure FabFilter, everything is laid out logically and is easy to operate. You can modulate modulations man, it’s deeep. Don’t sleep on Twin 3, this is a serious electronic musical instrument.
