Absynth 6 marks the rebirth of a classic Native Instruments synth, known for its otherworldly sonic character and hybrid nature. Its semi-modular three-channel oscillator engine combines subtractive, FM, wavetable, and granular methods to create unconventional, evolving textures. A refined interface, new waveform editor, and visual browser make sound design faster and more intuitive, while tools like the Mutator inspire instant creativity with intelligent preset generation. Over 2000 presets, including 350 brand-new sounds, provide a rich starting point. With polyphonic aftertouch and MPE support, advanced envelopes, signature creative effects like Aetherizer, and full surround sound capability, Absynth 6 is an expressive powerhouse for modern sound exploration.
