Speaking of which, I'd love for Absynth to add a spectral oscillator in the future.machinesworking wrote:spectrum trolls

Absynth is an iconic synth.
I am just kidding, the noise of this sound machine gives me negative vibes just like Plasmonic, I could assume both synths were developed by same dev

NI lost many customers over the last years, the reasons are obvious and they will never get them back!Gamma-UT wrote: Sat Dec 13, 2025 7:09 am Well, NI was right about embracing the weirdness. This thread has truly brought out the weirdos. Molesters and negative energy. SMDH.

I think there is a hype for Absynth, also cuz some people have mental issues, take this fact into consideration for your case study, as well

Nah we like absynth because we have mental issues that cause us to enjoy negative energy.

I bought Absynth 2 when it came out, if I recall correctly Absynth 1 was more like a standalone synth, and Mac OS 9 only. Crystal is pretty great, but FFS it's not anywhere near Absynth in sound. There's no rational reason you could think that's a good comparison, you're just trolling. Why do you all do this? if you don't like the weird wavetables in Absynth or the wave shapers, or the delays that to this day are pretty unique that's fine. It's OK not to like an iconic sound. I could give less than a f**k about the 303, but other people love it, and I'm aware that it comes down to personal taste. So I don't enter 303 threads talking about how worthless I find that sound.![]()
KVR is filled with spectrum trolls who for some reason need to shit on other peoples favorite things. Sometime I forget I'm not on 4chan, seriously. What makes it so hard to understand that: Not all synths have you, your sound in mind? You're lack of interest isn't interesting or unique, and not everything is tied to your perception of what is commercial and what is boutique.

I would posit that a person that thinks a synth other people like "transports negative energy" and means they have "mental issues" might be projecting, just a bit.DCrown wrote: Sat Dec 13, 2025 7:16 am well said!

I suspect they take turns being that person who asks: "have you tried Reaper?"
