FIXED: Absynth 6 freezing when trying to import Absynth 5 preset banks.
Hey everyone, we have seen a few reports of Absynth 6 users experiencing freezing or very long scanning when trying to import Absynth 5 user or third party preset banks. We are investigating the issue but were not able to reproduce it yet. If you are experiencing this, please let us know what your operating system is and…

BP Macros for an envelope breakpoint: Velocity and Aftertouch seem not to work
As the title says: Setting a BP Amp or Time macro to Velocity or Aftertouch (and an appropriate scale and breakpoint position) does not have any effect to the envelope. All "real" MIDI control changes do. I did an experiment for clarification and created a patch with Absynth 5 including a pitch envelope where I have the…

Absynth 6 Factory bank has patches by Brian Eno, Mark Mothersbaugh, Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith etc
Why isn't this a major selling point? What other software synth can say that? These are also great patches - lots of favourites

Select patch via MIDI
Is it possible to select Absynth 6 patches via MIDI? In ver 5 you set up a program list but this doesn't seem to be the case in ver 6. Is there a setting you need to change?

Absynth 6.1 - Freezing Ableton Live 12
Hi there, just updated Absynth 6 to the latest 6.1 on my MacBookPro M5 Max , but every time I open the Absynth 6 VST3 in Ableton 12, it says "Please Wait Scanning Presets" and almost immediately beachballs Ableton. I've let it sit for about 5-6 minutes and it's still beach balling; has anyone else had this happen? :(

Absynth 6 QWERTY keyboard in Ableton Live or Standalone
So every other plugin I have allows use of QWERTY keyboard to play notes, either in Ableton Live or standalone mode. I've been using Absynth since Absynth 4 or earlier. What am I missing here? is AB6 too "professional" to support this feature? Great preset browser, but I'm not sure it is worth $100.00 USD. :( Steven p.s.…

Absynth 6.0.1 -- Absynth 5 third-party expansions not available & import presets function needed
I have a number of third-party Absynth 5 expansions. None of them are showing up in Absynth 6.0.1. I think an import function is badly needed. If there is a way to get those Absynth 5 third-party expansions into version 6 I'd sure like to know. Thanks for releasing an update to Absynth and for your consideration of my…

Absynth 6 Doesn't Boot in Standalone and crashes DAW
I've reinstalled the synth, reinstalled Ableton 12, updated C++, made sure all drivers OS and devices were up to date and it does absolutely nothing when I try booting it up. I've got a support ticket open but thought I might post here since they said it may be a while before they get back to me

Surround audio settings - multiple outputs?
In standalone mode, surround outputs don't seem to be working properly. in ASIO settings, I am only able to enable 1 stereo output and 1 input. The manual does not mention anything specific to enabling multiple audio outputs in the settings section:…

I can't tag my user presets in Absynth 6?
Got Absynth 6 at Christmas with the sale discount + the voucher I got from my Komplete Ultimate 11→15 upgrade. It sounds like a dream, but the problem is that I can't seem to add properties on the right-hand side pane in the browser (all the other third party user presets I've downloaded have author, types, characters,…

Absynth 6 Audio Units fail Logic Pro Validation
I was so pumped to get Absynth 6 as It was one of my favorite synths 15 years ago. Thought I'd try the demo to be sure, but the Audio Units fail Logic Pro's plugin validation and it is unusable. Is it Apple Silicon chips that they don't support? Please somebody help!!

Absynth 6 Multichannel / Surround
Almost every Absynth fan knows, Absynth 5 came in two variants: a stereo and a multichannel version. You were able to configure the behavior of the audio channels right within the plugin and then route all the channels through your DAW. Looking at Absynth 6, there still a multichannel settings dialog, but it does…

Feature Request: control sensitivity
I'm enjoying the synth. No complaints. It's just the reactivity of the knobs and sliders with a mouse is difficult. It would be nice to have a control sensitivity parameter like there is in Massive X. Thank you, Mimi

Can't Create or Edit Presets AUTHOR / BANK NAME/ COMPANY
I just purchased the latest version of Absynth 6.0.3 I had been playing around with the demo for awhile and liked it. I started playing with it and went to export a preset and couldn't for the life of me figure out how to edit the existing Author / Bank Name / Company and add my own. I then tried making a patch from…

Can't get Pan LR macro to work (ABS5-1405)
Not sure if I'm doing something wrong but when I adjust the Pan LR macro at the bottom of the screen (macro page 2) it doesn't seem to do anything. I've tried loads of patches including factory presets but it doesn't have any effect on any of them. The other macros are working fine

Feature Request Absynth 6: virtual keyboard
I would like to request the addition of a virtual keyboard to Absynth 6 that can be turned on and off per what's available in Absynth 5 in the standalone and VSTi versions. Previewing/auditioning sounds is ok but limited, so it'd also be useful to actually play specific notes, especially if you don't have a MIDI controller…

Downloading Absynth 6 without using Native Access
I've just bought Absynth 6 and have registered it with Native Access. I understand the reluctance to buy given the recent new, but if we don't continue to support N.I. they may well go beyone preliminary insolvency - or at least that's how I see it. Surely none of us want that? Anyway, how do you download the Absynth 6…
