What is a B-stock product?

A product becomes B-stock when it can no longer be sold as new. It can simply be a product that has been returned by a customer or it may have packaging that is damaged or missing. It’s possible that the product itself may show slight signs of use or damage too. All B-stock products are fully checked to ensure that they work properly and you can find details of why the product is a B-stock in the information above.

B-stock information

The B-stock tab on the product page shows information about the B-stock product. Be aware that this information supersedes anything you may read in the product description. The product description includes text and specifications about the product in its brand-new state. It’s possible that a B-stock item may be missing accessories mentioned in the text or specifications, for instance, but if so, this will always be mentioned in the B-stock information. B-stock products also include photos of the actual B-stock item so that you can see exactly what it looks like.

General

Since the book on FM synthesis is never finished, Twisted Electrons add another chapter in the form of the TWISTfm. This poly-synth grants incredibly easy access to all of its FM parameters (no extensive menu-diving required) and is a can't-go-wrong-pick for experimental sound designers.

The Twisted Electrons TWISTfm

While the TWISTfm has the same number of operators as the now-classic DX7, so six, what's special about it is that you're not getting six ops grouped into a single algorithm, but two groups (4op + 2op) ֫— each with their own feedback! While this may not seem super significant at first glance, what this means is the TWISTfm can do something that the legendary DX7 was never able to: generate two solid sawtooth or square waves. And those certainly require feedback. Does that mean you're missing out on complex six-op algorithms? Not really because you're unlikely to create one sound that requires all six ops, and it's simply usually better to use multiple, less complex carriers. On top of that, the DX7 could only generate sine waves while the TWISTfm offers up eight waveforms per operator. In other words, this sound-sculpting machine truly packs masses of potential.

Other Features

Twisted Electrons have also built in an ever-practical filter, and not just any filter but a multi-mode filter that gives you high-pass, notch, MS20 and various other options. Add that to the built-in ribbon controller and the three LFOs and you start to get an idea of how potent this FM synth really is. Also, guess what? It runs on good-old YMF-262 OPL3-chips, which were already around when most of the artists listed in today's music charts weren't even born yet. Maybe some things should never change...
