Description:
Absynth 6 marks the return of the legendary semi-modular synthesizer. Designed for crafting evolving, “breathing” textures, it enables the creation of truly unique sounds. Powerful enough for complex sound design yet intuitive enough for beginners, it allows for the creation of vivid, dynamic sounds perfect for cinematic scores, ambient soundscapes, and electronic music.
Overview:
More than just a synthesizer: At the heart of Absynth 6 lies a hybrid engine that combines granular, frequency modulation (FM), wavetable, and subtractive synthesis, complemented by deep modulation capabilities and a suite of creative effects. Three oscillator channels offer a blend of structured unpredictability and boundless experimental potential—the perfect solution for sounds that evolve, shift, and surprise.
Discover new sounds
The Preset Explorer allows for intuitive sound discovery, moving beyond simple text-based browsing. Navigate a sonic landscape where the visual representation of relationships between tones leads to unexpected discoveries and streamlines your workflow.
Go beyond ADSR
Absynth 6’s 68-point envelope system features looping, breakpoint curves, sustain stages, and time-synced transitions, alongside dedicated LFOs. These flexible shapes enable the creation of evolving textures and rhythmic motion that far exceed the limitations of standard ADSR envelopes.
Transform your presets
Find inspiration in just a few clicks with the Mutator. Use it to reshape existing presets into entirely new sounds, instantly generating fresh variations. Track the evolution of your sounds, allowing you to easily revisit and refine your favorite sonic creations.
Sonic alchemy
Transform textures using Absynth’s signature granular effects. Aetherizer turns any sound into a shimmering atmosphere, while the Cloud Filter introduces spectral movement and tonal coloration. Together, they create a sense of motion that breathes life into your mix.
Changelog:
ADDED
* Focus Mode: Click a channel header to focus on that channel and open an expanded editor below it.
* Wave, Envelope, LFO, Macro, and Keyboard editors in Focus Mode, selectable via the sidebar.
* Editor Lock: Prevents the editor from updating when interacting with the channel strip.
* Patch Focus: Navigates from an element within an editor to its destination within the patch (available in the “Used,” “Envelope,” “Macro,” and “Expression” lists).
* Channel headers featuring Solo, Mutate, and an Edit menu.
* Channel Edit menu, including options to copy, paste, or modify a channel, redo a modification, and load or save sub-presets.
* Sub-presets for channels, source modules, insert modules, effects, waveforms, and envelopes.
* Sub-preset loading dialog, featuring factory and user libraries, search, favorites, folder organization, re-scanning, and desktop file access. Selecting a sub-preset loads it for auditioning; clicking “Cancel” restores the previous settings.
* “Load Sub-preset” and “Save Sub-preset” options in the Edit menus for source, insert, and effect modules, as well as in the Transform menus for wave and envelope editors.
* Integrated graphical previews for wave and envelope sub-presets.
* Global channel header to enter Focus Mode for the global channel.
* Footer containing macro controls and an on-screen keyboard, accessible on all pages. In Focus mode, controls are integrated into the Macro Editor and Keyboard Editor:
* Poly AT / Mono AT, Pitch Bend, Mod Wheel, and Hold controls in the footer
* On-screen keyboard with octave buttons and a velocity/pressure indicator
* Computer keyboard input for the on-screen keyboard
* Keyboard Editor featuring a note scale display directly above the keys, with value readouts shown while drawing
* Assign button with single and multiple assignment modes, plus an assignment menu listing all available parameters
* Assignment mode indicators for available, assigned, and unavailable parameters; clicking an assigned parameter reassigns it to the selected source
* MPE indicator on macro controls and next to macro names in macro lists
* Target Focus mode in the LFO editor, showing where a target is assigned across different modules
* Envelope list states for enabling/disabling envelopes and activating/deactivating the target module
* Follow / Trigger switch for audio modulators
IMPROVED
* Macros can be reordered via drag-and-drop; actions are now undoable and redoable
* Macros can be renamed by double-clicking their name in the footer
* Hovering over macro knobs displays their current value; macros with no assignments appear dimmed
* In assignment lists, you can select multiple items, delete them all at once, or move assignments to a different macro while preserving their Depth, Inversion, and Smoothing settings
* The Assignments page now features the same list-editing mode as the Macro Editor The “Add” button has been renamed to “Assign”
* The editing and transformation menus for Wave and Envelope pages have been merged into a single transformation menu
* “Copy Channel” and “Paste Channel” have been moved from the source module’s edit menu to the channel edit menu
* “Solo” now functions consistently across all channels
* Legacy Absynth template files can now be loaded as sub-presets
* Renamed: “Main Channel” to “Global,” “Macro Controller X” to “Macro X,” and “Templates” to “Sub-presets”
