Native Instruments “Absynth 6”

Native Instruments released the semi-modular software synthesizer “Absynth 6” on December 9, 2025. The original “Absynth” software instrument was developed and designed by Brian Clevinger. Absynth 6 honors that vision while adding a sleek new interface and deeply expressive features – connecting the classic textures you love with modern production power. Native Instruments invited Jörg to contribute sounds for this re-release. This was his 2nd project for Native Instruments this year after designing sounds for their “Circular” Kontakt instrument.

From the Native Instruments website:
“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.”

“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.”
“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.”
“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.”
“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.”
“With support for MPE and polyphonic aftertouch, every note can have its own voice, influencing modulation, morphing, and spatial placement.”
