If we dont get Absynth 6 with K11, I seriously doubt we will ever see A6.

If K11 includes Kontakt 6 it may come to be that
K12 will include Absynth 6. If K12 does not
include Absynth 6 then will we all toast
the death of Absynth with with a bottle of Absinthe.

I shall "elaborate," but this comment about sums it up. The main problems are:

You cannot search patches by name, when you're in the file-browser view.

You cannot filter or hide patches you don't like.

You cannot filter by patches you especially like (ie: by rating or by color).

You cannot rate (or "colorize") patches from the browser (you need to edit it on another page).

You're restricted to NI's (inadequate) tags. ...which are in fairly arbitrary categories.

You cannot edit the tags from the browser (again, another page).

You cannot drag-and-drop between folders (even though it looks like it's dragging something...)
...As a web developer, I find these kinds of shortcomings infuriating: these are the (relatively) easy things to do, programmatically. :\

I've not found a perfect patch-browser yet, but Spectrasonics' is clearly the best so far. ...why every developer isn't doing something like this is beyond me. [shrug]

Disclaimer: I am well-known to be a grumpy curmudgeon. Get off my lawn.

+42

And it infuriates me that each time I close the GUI and reopen it (or the DAW does when going to a different track and back) the browser is back at the "view all" state instead of where I left. Sometimes it happens even if I just look at the patch page to see how a preset works.
Makes looking through presets a major pain...

Give this a new GUI and some quality enhancements in the algorithms + some Alchemy-like stuff and have a very nice flagship Synth again...

I'll keep my fingers crossed.

Cheers,

Tom

I hope I'm wrong but I don't think there is\will be something new outside Kontakt, Reaktor and Machine environments.

THIS is the one thing I want addressed. I love the technology of this, but the zooming is not well-designed. I use some pretty long envelopes and it became a real job. It SEEMS like something changed but my memory is shot for some things.

The way you can draw your envelopes should stay...but definitely with easier way to do it, gui wise.

Personally, I find the zooming feature of Absynth ingenious.
Any examples (other synths) that does this better?

organic and natural sounding brilliant filters.

Hmmm, seems to be working to my liking at the moment in every way. Donno what my trip was.

Looking at the release dates of Absynth versions, I would say Absynth 6 is long overdue:

Absynth 5: Oct 2009 [with Komplete 6]
Absynth 4: Oct 2006 [with Komplete 4]
Absynth 3: Dec 2004
Absynth 2: May 2003
Absynth 1: April 2002

It was overdue in Oct 2012.
So now it is Way Way Way overdue!

So waaaay overdue that logically it probably never will!

But, what if they broke Absynth up into blox, and launched it for Reaktor 6.

To me it seems like a logical progression to step up to the next level. Go from semi-modularity to true modularity.

What would you like to see in Absynth 6?
