Dear community,
we have just released Absynth 6.0.2 which is an immediate response to the discussion here. This is the changelog:
This update improves the organization of user content. Rescanning of user content is needed to benefit from the changes. Select “Rescan Presets” from the file menu on first launch when you use 3rd party or user presets. These presets should not be added to the factory content folder. You can use “Show User Content Folder” in the File menu to find the right location for user content.
## ADDED File Menu item: “Show User Content Folder”
## IMPROVED Patch Insert module, Ringmod/Freq Shift frequency mode menu changed "ST" to "Transpose"
## FIXED Absynth 6 would occasionally freeze loading legacy Absynth presets
## FIXED Bank names for 3rd party and user banks would not appear in the bank list. Rescan of presets is needed after installation
## FIXED Envelope Transform "Expand To Rhythm" could result in stuck notes
## FIXED Update problems with control driven envelopes in the Assignment page. This is now consistent with Absynth 5
## FIXED Assignment page Depth slider now has text display
## FIXED Patch page: all frequency mode menus (Hz, Transpose...), the actual menu could have incorrect font at different UI scale
## FIXED Fractalize Oscillator Detune control could be inactive depending on prior oscillator state
## KNOWN ISSUE In rare cases some older presets may not load correctly. If these are saved in Absynth 5 they will open correctly
## KNOWN ISSUE Presets saved within Absynth will not appear in Komplete Kontrol or Maschine. To see Absynth 6 user presets in Maschine or Komplete Kontrol, they must be saved from these applications
Please note:
This update improves the organization of user content. To apply these changes, user and third-party presets must be rescanned. Use “Rescan Presets” from the File menu after updating Absynth, and whenever user content is added, moved, or saved.
User content must be stored in its dedicated folder, not the factory content folder. Use “Show User Content Folder” from the File menu to locate it.
For presets that do not contain bankchain metadata, the folder’s name the presets are located in within the user content will become the bankchain name (this is an iteration to better allow organizing user presets, until we allow to name bankchains directly in future updates).
Absynth should no longer freeze occasionally when scanning legacy user presets. For now it skips these. So, they are not usable. Something to address in a future update, too.
Please consider this update an iteration. We are aware that there is a better way to handle user presets and will look into this after the Christmas break.
