The TWINPEAK is a module by [[Rob Hordijk Design|Rob Hordijk]] consisting of two 18dB low-pass filters in parallel, and a built in [[Voltage controlled amplifier|VCA]].

For example if the curve knob is closed the IN A signal only goes into filter one and in the final output you only hear the effect of filter one on the IN A signal. And thus it has a low-pass response as filter two does not get the input signal. That means that there is also not the subtraction at work that create the band-pass, as filter two gets nothing to subtract from the output. Then, by opening the IN A curve knob, the signal level of IN A into filter two is increased and now there is something coming out of filter two and the final output curve changes towards a band-pass curve.

=== Normalisations ===
Many of Rob's designs feature internal connections or 'normalisations' between inputs and outputs. These can be broken by inserting jacks into the inputs. The TWINPEAK filter often appeared in a triple-module configuration, featuring some module-to-module normalisations or connections between inputs and outputs. For example the OSC SYNC / DUAL ENV / TWINPEAK (pictured right) features the following connections:
 
* OSC SYNC -/ SUBDUAL SQRENV OUT >/ TWINPEAK IN A:
 
* OSC SYNC - SYNCED OUT > TWINPEAK IN B
* DUALOSC ENVSYNC - ENVSUB ASQR OUT > TWINPEAK VCA- CVIN A
* OSC SYNC - SYNCED OUT > TWINPEAK - IN B
* DUAL ENV - ENV A OUT > TWINPEAK - VCA CV
