Native Instruments Absynth 6.2.1

Absynth 6 is the return of a legendary semi-modular synthesizer for macOS, built for textures that transform and breathe. It is deep enough for complex sound design and intuitive enough for newcomers, opening up distinctive, living sounds for cinematic cues, ambient soundscapes, and electronic productions.

Beyond ordinary synthesis
At the core of Absynth 6 is a hybrid engine that combines granular, FM, wavetable, and subtractive synthesis with deep modulation and a suite of creative effects. Its three oscillator channels give you structured unpredictability and plenty of room for exploration, perfect for sounds that evolve, shift, and surprise.

Discover new sounds
The Preset Explorer helps you find sounds by feel instead of scrolling through names. Navigate a sonic landscape where relationships between tones appear visually, leading you to unexpected discoveries and faster results.

Go beyond ADSR
The 68-point envelope system offers looping, breakpoint curves, sustain stages, and time-synced transitions, plus dedicated modulation LFOs. These flexible shapes let you craft evolving textures and rhythmic motion that go far beyond standard ADSR envelopes.

Mutate presets
With the Mutator, inspiration is only a few clicks away. Morph different presets into entirely new ones, generate variants in moments, and sculpt them into sounds you love. A timeline of changes lets you quickly recall and refine your favorites.

Textural alchemy
Transform textures with Absynth's signature granular effects. The Aetherizer turns any sound into shimmering atmospheres, while the Cloud Filter adds spectral motion and coloration. Together they create ambient motion that feels alive within your mix.

From spark to soundscape
A semi-modular engine, reimagined sample tools, and a huge library let you move from idea to atmosphere in moments.

• Three-channel oscillators: combine subtractive synthesis, FM, wavetable synthesis, granular sampling, and wave-morphing, routed through filters, modulators, and effects.
• Sample editor: control loop points, playback modes, and wave-morphing for precise sample-based sound design.
• Over 2000 presets: explore more than 350 brand-new additions to the Factory Library, or randomize macro parameters to generate new presets on the fly.
• Backward compatibility: import every patch you have ever designed in Absynth.

Sound that surrounds you
With support for up to eight-channel surround formats, including Quadraphonic, 5.1, and Octaphonic, Absynth 6 lets you place and move sound in 360° space, with optional LFE routing. Each effect can occupy its own position in the field, from swirling Aetherizer grains to immersive spectral clouds.

More expressive than ever
Absynth 6 supports full MPE and polyphonic aftertouch, so every note can have its own voice, influencing modulation, morphing, and spatial placement. Paired with Kontrol keyboards, Maschine, or any MPE-ready controller, it turns your playing into soundscapes that unfold with every touch.
