***Yea, I remember looking for a v2 demo, and only finding v1. I do wonder if there will be a v3 demo.ew wrote:They've been gone since about a month before the A3 release. As normal said, there never was an A2 demo.ew

However, the rest of the update makes the interface work faster and in general, the synth seems more responsive when editing.
Yeah, Brian (Clevinger)'s been trying to figure that one out. Not all systems seem to be affected (mine is, BTW), and it seems to be a Windows only issue.normal wrote:confirmed ...x_bruce wrote:I just installed and it's a nice functional update though there is a bug on screen redraw.

envelope window still needs some work ...
I think it is for a few reasons. Being able to modulate fractalization is a biggie for me- I always liked the fractalize option in the waveform window, but I thought it was a bummer that you couldn't do any real time modulation of the process. With the oscils in fractalize mode, now you can.flyingsquirrelofdeath wrote:So IS Absynth 3.0 worth the upgrade fee from version 2 or is it not? I've found Native Instrument upgrades to be up to par usually, but with some of the software world putting out overpriced, overrated upgrades (Nuendo 3.0, Wavelab 5.0), I value feedback from the true guinea pigs. Is Absynth 3.0 yet worth the fee?

The surround sound outputs provide much more than just surround sound support. By using Absynth as a plugin with all the available outputs (there's eight) and using the surround pan envelopes, etc; you can pan between the same oscil channel using different external effects. You can do quasi-vector stuff with them as well.
Using it as an effect (or quasi-effect as I use it) adds a whole new dimension. Take a vocal track for example and use that as an oscil channel. Now, you can add one of Absynth's rhythmic envelopes controlling a comb filter for example, and still have two more channels to load up with normal oscil/filter combos. Mix it all together and run it through the new resonators
And, before some people accuse me of bias as has been known to happen around here - while I am one of the Absynth forum moderators, I am NOT an NI employee.
