However, the Gear4music extended warranty scheme provides an enhanced service, and is designed to offer a higher level of protection than many 'free' warranties offered by some retailers and manufacturers.
The highlights of this enhanced warranty service are:
Please note that this extended warranty is currently only available on products sold within the UK, EU or EEA, and is subject to the terms and conditions as detailed on the extended warranty certificate provided.
For customers in outlying areas of the country, the price of the Extended Warranty may be marginally higher, due to the potential for higher collection and redelivery transport costs.
This enhanced warranty is in addition to the standard Gear4music and manufacturer warranty policies, and the Gear4music terms and conditions of trade. No statement or condition of sale contained within these terms affects or restricts your statutory rights as defined under the Consumer Contracts Regulation 2014.

Key Features
The Twisted Electrons TWISTfm is a powerful polyphonic FM synthesizer that merges classic FM synthesis with modern analog filtering and expressive control. Featuring two Yamaha OPL-3 YMF262 FM chips and dual stereo DACs, it delivers eight independent voices, each routed through an analog multimode filter. This setup allows for deep, dynamic sound shaping with 15 filter modes, adjustable saturation, and dual resonance options.

At the heart of TWISTfm are two Yamaha OPL-3 YMF262 FM chips, the same legendary processors found in classic FM synthesizers and vintage computer soundcards. These chips provide eight independent voices, each capable of producing the metallic, evolving, and harmonically rich sounds FM synthesis is known for.
Unlike traditional FM synths, TWISTfm pairs each voice with an analog multimode filter, giving users the ability to sculpt tones in ways not possible with digital FM alone. The result is a unique fusion of digital clarity and analog warmth, perfect for creating anything from shimmering pads to growling basses.
TWISTfm’s filtering section is inspired by some of the most revered analog designs, offering 15 distinct filter modes, including low-pass, high-pass, band-pass, phaser, and notch. The HEAT control introduces anything from subtle saturation to full analog distortion, adding warmth and character to any sound.
Users can also choose between two resonance profiles: LIQUID for smooth, organic resonance or MS20 for sharper, aggressive peaks. Digital control over resonance and cutoff allows for flexible modulation, making the filters highly responsive to dynamic playing techniques and automation.
With full MIDI Polyphonic Expression (MPE) support, TWISTfm takes FM synthesis into new realms of playability. MPE enables per-note modulation of pitch, timbre, and pressure, offering an unprecedented level of expression for electronic musicians and keyboardists.
Whether using an MPE controller for gliding, vibrato, or dynamic touch-based modulation, TWISTfm ensures that every note responds independently, creating a more organic and nuanced performance experience.
TWISTfm features a powerful 128-step polyphonic sequencer with MIDI sync, allowing users to create complex patterns and evolving textures. The built-in arpeggiator offers multiple modes, skips, and ties, making it easy to generate intricate melodic sequences on the fly.
For seamless studio and live integration, TWISTfm includes USB MIDI, MIDI DIN I/O, and two external audio inputs for processing external sounds. With its intuitive interface, rotary encoder, and minimal menu diving, it provides a workflow that is both deep and immediate, catering to sound designers, live performers, and producers alike.
