Absynth 6 Update

Update from Absynth 2-5 to Absynth 6

Weird by design, limitless in sound

Absynth 6 marks the return of a legendary semi-modular synthesizer, designed to create textures that transform and breathe. It invites you to shape sounds that are entirely your own, offering deep capabilities for complex sound design while remaining intuitive enough for newcomers. Whether you’re crafting cinematic cues, ambient soundscapes, or electronic productions, Absynth 6 opens up distinctive, living sounds that evolve and surprise.

At its core, a hybrid engine blends granular, FM, wavetable, and subtractive synthesis with deep modulation and a suite of creative effects. Three oscillator channels provide structured unpredictability, giving you endless room to explore evolving tones. The Preset Explorer guides you through sounds by feel, leading to unexpected discoveries, while the 68-point envelope system goes far beyond ADSR with looping, breakpoint curves, sustain stages, and time-synced transitions.

The Mutator helps generate entirely new presets in moments, and Absynth’s signature granular effects turn textures into shimmering, alive atmospheres. The Aetherizer transforms any sound into immersive atmospheres, and the Cloud Filter adds spectral motion and coloration, creating ambient motion that feels alive within your mix.

With semi-modular flexibility, reimagined sample tools, a massive library, and full surround support, Absynth 6 transforms quick ideas into immersive soundscapes. Three-channel oscillators, the revamped sample editor, and over 2000 presets including 350 new additions to the Factory Library give you instant access to complex, evolving sounds. Full MPE and polyphonic aftertouch support let every note influence modulation, morphing, and spatial placement, turning your playing into vivid soundscapes that respond dynamically to every touch.
