Absynth 6

[syncline]

Interesting article over at Noizefield - mostly speculation and rumor amplification, but A6 does seem to be more than a compatibility/UI update. The article also contains a bit more granularity on possible new features. With less than 24 hours to go, we'll all know a lot more by this time tomorrow. Can't wait!

Is it me or is the animation onn the Weird By Design page getting greener?

Nice, I've got the day off tomorrow and it's dropping 6AM local seattle time so before I wake up!

Is that where you live, in Seattle? It’s my hometown, but I have lived on the east coast since 1998.

Since late 1989. I'm one of the few high rent and cost of housing survivors from the 90's.
I like the general attitude of Seattle, and the terrain. I played in a proto NY style noise rock band in the 90's Foil, we played with Sleep Capsule, Tad, Unearth etc.

I'm west coast all the way, lived in CA, OR and WA for substantial periods of time. Where are you on the East Coast and why such a massive Geographic?

Is the original developer involved in this? Seems unlikely as he has his own separate company now. I suppose we shall see tomorrow.

Didn't you read all 8 trillion posts in this thread?

Yes, Brian Clevinger is absolutely involved.

At first I lived on Capitol Hill as a kid, then moved to the Greenlake area. Later I lived near northern Ballard and played drums for many years starting in 1979, and then synths later on.
I had a long distance relationship for a year or two with my future wife, and ended up moving to Connecticut and got married.

Sorry for the off-topic life story discussion.

I mean I of course won't confirm or deny that. But also don't get too hopeful. Haha.

wink once for reaktor.

Obviously not, that's why I used a question mark ???? then there is some hope this will be very good.

"or is it merely a museum piece updated for Apple Silicon?"
Absynth 5 was updated for AS in late 2020.

Wouldn't be KVR without some off topic discussion!
What bands? I was pretty involved in the local music scene up until maybe 2015, now it's all home studio stuff. Lived on Capitol Hill mostly until about 2000. Now a one bedroom rental is far more than my mortgage, like twice as much!

Not to be pedantic, but it's still running in Rosetta, I guess they just made it compatible with Rosetta?

It would be cool if they put some absinthe green into the icon instead of just the boring black and white icons they have nowadays.

Not pedantic. It's not Apple Silicon. AU only, no VST3, doesn't work in Komplete Kontrol. Rosetta au only.

Edit: hit the wrong spelling hint

[EvilDragon]

More pedantry then: silicone != silicon
