Patchpool has released Best of absynthsounds Vol. 2, programmed by Simon Stockhausen for Absynth 5.

The sounds included cover a wide range of ambient soundscapes, pads, drones, more experimental sounds and technoid sequences. Many of the patches are sample based and make use of the new features introduced in Absynth 5 which are the Cloudfilter, Aetherizer, Super Comb and Filter Feedback. Most patches have many if not all available Macros assigned. You can find more detailed info about each patch, the licence agreement and installation instructions in this PDF.

There are 65 patches and 63 samples (748.3 MB) included. Most samples were produced exclusively for these patches, some were taken from the huge collection of samples Simon has produced for various soundsets and libraries over the last years. The sample format usually is 48 kHz / 24-Bit, although some of them are 44.1/16 - 44.1/24 and 48/16.

Price: €17.

This soundset requires Absynth 5, the patches will not load in any previous version. The download folder contains 2 preset formats, the old ksd-format and the new nabs-format which was introduced with Absynth version 5.1.
