Twisted Tools Vortex

Twisted Tools has launched its new website with 6 free Reaktor ensembles in addition to its first commercial product, Vortex.

We have been working hard for about a half-year now, developing Vortex and creating an infrastructure to bring you the most twisted yet affordable high quality sounding mangling products to rock your speakers. Vortex will be the first of many exciting products we hope to bring you this year…
