FabFilter

I've been using Fabfilter Twin for a few weeks now, and here are my thought on future improvements. Don't get me wrong, I love the software, and will keep using it without any of these changes:

Envelopes are scaled in a way that puts too much bias on slow times. At 12'o clock most other synthesizers seem to be in the .5-1 second range. Twin is over 3 seconds. I'm not sure if we need to dedicate a quarter of the turn towards the 13 to 21 second range.

I have found that a fifth Envelope parameter, Fade, as in LinPlug Alpha, gives you a lot more shapes with the addition of only one knob. I personally don't use the Delay parameter much, and could loose that in return, but others may disagree. Also, consider adding a brief preset period of full level post-Attack, pre-Decay, for that Moog snap.

LFOs, at least one of them, should have the option of being polyphonic. This would greatly increase the sense of depth on polyphonic filter and PWM sweeps.

A control source that produces a random value per key-press could be a lot of fun, and help add some more life. It would be a draggable button, in the same way as velocity or mod wheel.

I'd like to be able to route the Noise to one filter, not always both. This would be great for drums, as well as breathy sounds. Am I missing some way that this is possible?

The Detune knob could function as an "Analog" knob in poly mode. Ideally this would set up a number of "voice cards" (like on a vintage polysynth) equal to the number of Voices set, and cycle through them, with varying detune, filter cutoff, and envelope rates for each "card". No extra controls would be needed.

OSC 2 could benefit from negative octave offsets, not just positive. Often I want to add a sub octave with OSC 2.

The Saw and Tri waveforms in the oscillator could be affected by the pulse width control. It could simply narrow down the waves, or do some other PWM-like modulation. With only three waveforms, let's make the most of them.

For the opportunity for oscillator FM (to modulate the other oscillator, a filter, etc), the obvious way would be to just add a drag-button to each oscillator (probably pre-level/pan). For example, just drag this to a filter for filter FM. I understand that this could require large amounts of processing power.

The Presets, while I don't really use them, are too reliant on Unison. Twin sounds fantastic without it, and people running the demo can get the false impression that the software is very processor demanding.

Thanks!
