Expanded Sound Library

ABSYNTH 5 contains more than 200 new synth sounds, fully taking advantage of the new filter and effects, to create brand-new, unusual sound material. In addition, there are 30 new effect settings for using ABSYNTH 5 as an extraordinary effect unit. In total, the number of ABSYNTH 5 sounds now stands at around 1,800.

The Mutator - Simple sound design

With ABSYNTH 5 you do not need deep knowledge of synthesizers or sound design skills to create your own professional sounds. The new Mutator technology represents an entirely fresh approach to sound design, allowing the intuitive combination of sound characteristics from several sounds of the factory library, without dealing with the complex Editor Pages of the oscillators, envelopes and effects sections.

If, for example, you want to add a "dirty" character to a soft pad sound, you could take the characteristics of a distorted bass from the ABSYNTH Library and apply them to the pad. This can be easily done using the KoreSound Browser, where you can find all your desired musical properties/attributes.

It's also easy to define which elements of the sound should be mutated - e.g. Oscillator settings, filters, envelopes, effects - or everything together. The Randomize fader provides additional random variations. All of the newly-generated sounds and variations can be compared in the new Sound History window, and then be tagged with your desired attributes and saved for future use.

In addition, the Mutator's eight fine-tuning controls provide quick access to eight sound properties, such as brightness, bass, resonance, distortion and effects, for instant tweaking of your newly created sounds.

Aetherizer Effect

The new Aetherizer is enormously powerful and versatile. A sophisticated granular effect "decomposes" the sounds in to the smallest particles ("grains"), which are then manipulated and re-assembled in a variety of ways. The results are unusual chorus and vocoder sounds, grain clouds, delays, pitch shifts, reverbs and strange reflections - and everything in between. This effect (as with all ABSYNTH effects) is also for working with external audio signals (e.g. audio tracks in a sequencer) - a playground for creative sound manipulation!

Cloud Filter

The Cloud Filter has a similar structure as the Aetherizer's granular effect, but acts in each of the three oscillator channels. It provides granular-based results such as unusual Chorus, Pitch Shift and reverb effects, and can make synth sounds that are dense and aggressive.

Supercomb Filter

This new Comb Filter creates expanding physical-modelling-like sounds with finely adjustable resonance, which means even more realistic, acoustic and voluminous sounds can be achieved.

Filter Feedback

Many filter types in the oscillator channels now offer an additional feedback path for more drastic sound manipulation, creating significantly more complex, dirty and distorted results. This feedback loop allows you to send a portion of the filter's output back to its input, and makes the use of modulators such as wave-shapers, frequency shifters or ring modulators which vastly increase the possibilities for adding distortion to your sound.

Other new features:

Improved signal quality due to optional over-sampling in many modules, thus reducing "noise"
Support for Windows XP / Vista 64-bit systems

Improved patch loading times including new sample search logic.
Absynth 4 now instantiates faster in hosts.
Several bug fixes.

navigateur KoreSound et Kore: 1200 presets dont 200 nouveaux ont été configurés pour utilisation avec Kore et catégorisés en tant que KoreSound.

Mastering sonore : l'ajout d'une enveloppe ADSR master éditable simplifie l'utilisation d'Absynth 4. Les presets peuvent être manipulés sans avoir à entrer dans les fonctions plus avancées

circuit sonore librement définissable au sein des 3 canaux des patchs Absynth.

ajout d'un nouveau module d'oscillateur, le "Sync Granular mode", produisant des sons particulièrement organiques.

fonction de wave morphing permettant les oscillateurs individuels de mélanger différentes formes d'onde.

16 macro-contrôles permettent d'ajuster de multiples paramètres simultanément. Ces macro-contrôles sont automatiquement liés avec les éléments de contrôle Kore

Modulation : le concept de modulation a été complètement révisé. Les cibles sont désormais librement définissables, ajoutant encore à la flexibilité d'Absynth.

Bibliothèque d'échantillons Absynth: Absynth inclut une petite mais puissante bibliothèque d'échantillons consistant en plus de 400 échantillons, tous créés spécialement pour être utilisés avec le mode sample ou granular d'Absynth.
