Native Instruments Absynth v6.2.0

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.
Beyond ordinary synthesis
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.
Discover new sounds
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.
Go beyond ADSR
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.
Mutate presets
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.
Textural alchemy
Transform textures with Absynth’s signature granular effects. The Aetherizer turns any sound into shimmering atmospheres, while the Cloud Filter adds spectral motion and coloration. Together they create ambient motion that feels alive within your mix.
