It sets the mood and tone of the synth pretty well, and Absynth, with it's complexities, can create some out of this world sounds. The creative possibilities are endless in this section and in others, and it seems to work in it's own way, with controls and parameters that seem very unusual and specific to Absynth only.Įven the graphic layout is an experience, which looks very futuristic, and almost alien-like. But these effects are very unusual and unique, and they work like no other delays. One other unique feature of Absynth 5 is the effects section, which includes 6 various delays and reverbs. This organic nature of Absynth is displayed throughout the synth, and it makes it a very unique experience. There is even a mutation option, built right into the browser, which lets you randomly change and mutate the selected sound, creating new, original sounds immediately. You can quickly choose and browse sounds based on many categories, such as overall sound type, sound mode, main sound characteristics, and genre applications. Luckily, there are a plethora of factory presets, and they are organized very neatly in the browser section. Native Instrument's Absynth 5 is a complex instrument, and it can be very overwhelming to use at first. Other features include 68-stage envelopes, tempo sync, semi-modular synthesis, specialized effects (such as Aetherizer, Cloud Filter, and Super Comb), macro controls, usage as a standalone effects unit, and much more. It contains over 2,100 preset sounds, so you don't have to design anything from scratch (but you certain can if you want!). It is know for its organic, evolving sounds, that can be customized to be very complex. The Native Instruments Absynth 5 is the newest, latest version of the legendary Absynth line.
