FabFilter has released the Rob Lee Sound Set for its virtual synth FabFilter Twin 2.

The bank includes 145 dance, house and techno oriented presets by top notch sound designer Rob Lee. For many years, Rob mainly did sound design for hardware synthesizers, but lately he has had great success with sound sets for various software synthesizers. FabFilter Twin 2 is one of Rob Lee's favourite software synthesizers: "It's the best/easiest to navigate and user-friendly synth I've ever had the pleasure of using, anything is possible with this!

The Rob Lee Sound Set for FabFilter Twin 2 is now available for €19, $28 or £17. The sound set can be used on both Windows and Mac OS X in any of the available plug-in formats.

Well, it sounds very promising ! Wait and see...

A very special thank you to Roman for sending us this information.
