Native Instruments ABSYNTH 4 Overview

ABSYNTH 4 from Native Instruments brings together a combination of multiple synthesis techniques, granular sampling, flexible envelope control and sampling. A versatile semi-modular architecture and clean interface make it effortless to sculpt everything from organic textures to rhythmic madness, from time-evolving soundscapes to vintage sounds.

ABSYNTH 4 is a one-window application. All sub-pages appear within the same window, allowing for a more efficient work flow. The program comes equipped with 1,200 KORE-configured presets spanning a vast range of styles and sounds. The KoreSound Browser makes using these presets fast and easy. "Search" and "Filter" functions allow the user to find presets according to specific characteristics and attributes.

Sophisticated surround sound features allow the placement and movement of the sound or its individual components within a spatial environment, ideal for film and multimedia productions. A stereo live input greatly expands the sonic potential of the synthesizer, allowing it to be used as an effect unit for manipulating live signals or sequencer tracks. Designed both for the studio as well as for the stage, sixteen macro controls allow multiple settings to be tweaked at the same time.
