Native Instruments Absynth 6

Synthesizer Virtual Instrument

NEW

Weird By Design

Absynth 6 marks the return of a legendary semi-modular synthesizer.

Built for textures that transform and breathe, it invites you to shape sounds that are entirely your own.

Deep enough for complex sound design, and intuitive enough for newcomers, it opens 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 endless 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

Absynth 6's 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 goes far beyond standard ADSR envelopes.

Mutate Presets

With the Mutator, inspiration is only ever a few clicks away.

Use it to morph different presets into entirely new ones, generating new variants in moments.

Sculpt them into sounds you love, all while keeping a timeline of changes so you can 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

Absynth 6 turns quick bursts of inspiration into complex sounds.

Its semi-modular engine, reimagined sample tools, and huge library let you move from idea to atmosphere in moments.

Three-Channel Oscillators

The semi‑modular engine features three oscillator channels that combine subtractive synthesis, FM, wavetable synthesis, granular sampling, and wave‑morphing, routed through powerful filters, modulators, and effects to create rich, complex timbres.

Sample Editor

The revamped sample editor in Absynth 6 gives you streamlined control over loop points, playback modes, and wave-morphing - capabilities rarely found so deeply integrated in soft synths.

It allows for precise sample‑based sound design with unmatched speed and flexibility.

Over 2000 Presets

Absynth 6 delivers over 2000 presets with more than 350 brand-new additions to the Factory Library.

Randomize macro parameters to generate entirely new presets on the fly - and with full backward compatibility, every patch you've ever designed can be imported seamlessly.

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 comes alive with full MPE and polyphonic aftertouch support.

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 vivid soundscapes that unfold with every touch.
