I've said this for a long time: that Absynth should get new, analog-modeled filters and oscs, and it would get a fresh infusion for the future. (I.e., I agree that the present filters sound a bit old-VST in a bad way. But they still are serviceable within the context of the overall synth, I just wish they'd move forward with it.)

Absynth 6 is a highly anticipated product for Komplete 14 next year. That and/or Battery 5. I can't imagine anything else considering other flagships have been updated in recent years and probably pretty much saturated in terms of plugin/software to warrant a major update (Kontakt 6, Reaktor 6, Guitar Rig Pro 6). Gonna be very difficult to resist the Komplete update if this becomes true.

Interesting. I have Vital, but it really doesn’t remind me of Absynth. Granted, I bought it at the cheap intro price, but ended up not really liking it, so maybe I just haven’t given enough of a chance.

Won't happen. Absynth 6 has bee "anticipated" since oh about Komplete 8?

Also, didn't Brian Clevinger (Absynth's creator) leave NI?

maybe somet hings are 'outdated' but it still a perfectly capable synth. or better: it is a beast, presets from scratch, and you will get sounds blow you out of the water, or the absynth... so i take it 'as is', but a version 6, well why not, scaling ánd MPE, well....

Vital or something like that useless wavetable synths nobody needs!
Wavetable synths are boring, nobody needs this anymore!

Thank you for telling us what everyone needs

OrionAlpha101 · Post by **OrionAlpha101** » Fri Dec 10, 2021 12:29 pm

Yes Synths like Kawai K5000 or Yamaha Sy99 are nice,but always this wavetables I have enough of nothing,always in circles,boring all around in the industry and everything sounds the same.
Oh and all this Junos and Jupiters sorry and minimoogs just stupid emulations again and again.

Thats NOTHING,so listen to good music maybe one time Anx?!

The problem is, NI doesn't seem to know what's what anymore. I miss when they were doing creative and unique stuff.

Yeah, Vital can be fun but it's more of a slight tangent from from Serum than it is the new Absynth.

the new absynth is brian's new synth. This is the simple answer.

Agree with zerocrossing and JerGoertz. Hire back Clevinger (if he is interested, even as outside contractor). Touch up the filters and GUI.
I still get many miles of fun from Absynth. I don’t use it for “analog filtery” sounds.

I only used the brilliant randomizer features in Absynth and the results were fantastic. Could never be bothered to program my own sounds. Closest I get today are Arcsyn, but that doesn't have any granular or sample based sound sources.

What is the new Absynth?
