Demo installation fails
After a couple of downloads of the file Absynth 6 6.0.1+1 Installer DEMO, I have to give up trying to install the demo version. At best, I get an error message: “There has been an error. Unknown tag <project> at line 1 in file C:\Users.....\Downloads\Absynth_601_PC\Absynth 6 6.0.1+1 Installer.exe\project.xml” In rare…

Absynth 6 doesn't see any of my old Absynth 5 user presets. How do I import them? Alternatively, where do I copy the presets to in order for Absynth 6 to see them?

Absynth 6 Preset Browser needs updating
In Komplete Kontrol, you can filter on Sound Type (Bass, Bowed Strings… ). It also haas a Character column where you can filter on attributes of the sound like Bright, Dirty, etc. Absynth 6 has a Type column in the preset list, but it seems to include both Sound Types AND characters - it's a mess. Komplete Kontrol has it…

I only see 1438 presets in Kkomplete Kontrol for Absynth, many more in the standalone Absynth
When I open Absynth in Komplete Kontrol, it reports 1438 presets available. When I open Absynth6 directly in Ableton, I see many presets in Absynth that I do not see in Komlete Kontrol. These are the banks reported in KK.

is there a master volume on the standalone version?
While I mainly use from Komplete Kontrol or DAW, a few times I've fired up standalone to have a quick play and I cant find an overall master volume control anywhere? I have my audio interface volume knob at the perfect setting for 99% of things hence do't really want to use that. I keep blasting out my lovely wife and my…

ver5 Presets automatically in ver6?
Hi! Does the installation procedure of Absynth 6 automatically find any installed Absynth 5 and its presets? Are the ver5 presets part of the set of presets that come with ver6? Can I manually copy presets from the older version over to the new browser in ver6?

Absynth 5 has disappeared
I haven't fired up my DAW for almost 2 years. The interest has wained, although I have recently had the urge only to find that my copy of Absynth 5 is missing. It's not to be found on Native Access and although I have the demo of Absynth 6, I have no intention of buying it. Can anyone point me to the installer? I can't…

Suggestions to improve the Preset Browser in Absynth6
Arturia supports a more flexible preset browser where you can sort presets by Name, by type, and by Bank or Designer. It seems that I can only sort by Name or Author in Absynth6. This could be improved. Also, It would be cool that when a preset is favorited in Absynth6, it shows up as a favorite in Komplete Kontrol…

Show filtered preset count in Absynth [Feature request]
I like how Komplete Kontrol provides a count at the lower right of their user interface for the number of presets currently in the filtered list. I'd like to see that in Absynth6 as well.

How do I upload 3rd party effects into Absynth 6?
I purchased some 3rd party Absynth 6 presets and FX. I managed to figure out how to install the presets but not the FX. Your site says to click on "file" then install them. I don't see "file" anywhere.

How to Assign Parameters to Mod Wheel?
I'm just getting started with Absynth 6. It seems like something as commonplace as assigning parameters to the Mod Wheel should be self explanatory. I've spent a good hour trying to figure out how to map the Master Filter to Mod Wheel, and no explanation I can find online makes it happen. Supposedly right-clicking controls…

Absynth 6 Bank Names for User Presets
It is easy to import Absynth5 USer Presets with copy the *.nabs files to User Content\Absynth6\Sounds. But there are for example old banks having Bank Names within the metadata, but those bank names are not imported to select them directly or is there a way to do this?

High Cpu
Is anyone having issues with certain Absynth sounds taking up a lot of CPU resources? I have a i7-4790, which is pretty old, and 32 gigs of ram. I haven't had many issues with other vsts and plug ins, but a lot of presets in Abysnth has my CPU usage going up to 50-80%.

Absynth 6 Feature Request: Drag & drop samples in the samples engine
Would like to request the ability to drag and drop samples into the sample engine. Folder diving is ok but many of us who use things like Loopcloud as primary sources want to buy the sample and drag it straight in.. Creative flow is key! Thanks 😊

A Major Step Backwards for Automation. Again..
Absynth 6 launches without exposing its parameters for DAW automation, and that’s a serious problem. After all the backlash with Massive X, I really expected NI to learn from that and avoid repeating the same mistake. For a synth like Absynth, one that thrives on deep modulation and experimental workflows, not exposing…
