Overview
- Absynth 6 is available now from Native Instruments’ online store at $199, with a $99 upgrade for Absynth v2–5 owners.
- Developed in partnership with original creator Brian Clevinger, the update restores a landmark semi-modular synth for contemporary workflows.
- The new Preset Explorer uses a deep-learning model to map timbral relationships so musicians can browse sounds by feel rather than scrolling lists.
- The hybrid engine blends granular, FM, wavetable and subtractive methods, supported by signature effects and a 68-point envelope for detailed modulation.
- Modern features include full MPE with polyphonic aftertouch, true multichannel surround and MTS-ESP microtuning, plus artist presets from Brian Eno, Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith and Richard Devine, legacy patch compatibility and a Weirdcore–Swarmm visual campaign featuring a new track by HAAi.
