Pretty much the same as v5 over here.

/Library/Application Support/Native Instruments/Absynth 6/Sounds

in order to show in the browser, and not the usual ni user content absynth subfolder
I did, but they are not recognized.
Is this not working in the demo?

Not sure if it is a demo limitation (if it is it's a weird one) but it does work once rescanned - see below

The folders/banks appear after a while, but not the presets.

Should do - don't have the user toggle on

I'm wondering how to get the AI to sort additional banks though to get them into the explorer as at the moment it isn't working with them - I presume the training was done by NI as Absynth itself doesn't seem to have the AI built in?

I was super happy to hear that you contributed content to this thing. Just be warned, everyone - sometime in 2024 I brushed the middle C key on a Porphyra patch and it's still decaying to this day.

hahahaha <3

i think i can hear it decaying here, arriving at the speed of sound

Except that it's not part of Komplete, and even Absynth 5 has disappeared from it too.

Is it now InKomplete?

The pattern is mentioned by me above, you're just pisstaking I assume.

An excellent update NI, I love it. This and Komplete Kontrol 3.x make me think NI is back!

Trolls and feeding them. I often wonder why people post in threads about things they don't use? I'm going to go find a Cubase thread and piss on it, because I've never owned it and I feel justified in my disdain for some narcissistic reason.

True, but if I remember correctly it was included up through Komplete 13. And Jeremy from NI confirmed it will be part of the next Komplete as well:

I'm very happy to see Absynth back, it's 100% the right direction.

I'll hold my praise for NI personally until they fix the track selection issue they created in the Kontrol mk3 hardware, when they do I'll cheerlead for them. They upgrade Reaktor when Komplete 16 drops and I'll be ecstatic.

No-one has cracked that joke before. No-one. Ever.

INIT preset? Bold of you to assume Absynth wants you to start with anything simple.

Click the three dots in the top left bar and choose New Preset from the menu that opens.

Just discover my £22 voucher from my Komplete 15 upgrade works on this. Makes it bearable, cost wise

Dammit, on their site it said the voucher did not work for upgrades.

I upgraded Kontakt to 8 because to me the new stuff in Komplete 15 wasn't that great for $50 more, $25 would be OK though..
