Frequently Asked Questions

While Plaits is known for its wavetable flexibility, the Twin Waves MKII Black excels with its Phantom Oscillator and more extensive algorithmic modulation options, offering a different flavor of sound design.
The display is genuinely helpful, especially when diving into the more intricate synthesis algorithms; it provides real-time feedback and parameter explanations, though experienced users *can* navigate without it.
It's a bit advanced for a complete beginner, but if you're comfortable with basic modular concepts, it's a rewarding and educational module that opens up a lot of possibilities.
