What's New In Absynth 5 - Native Instruments Absynth 5 Reference Manual

1.2 What's New in ABSYNTH 5?

Here is a short overview of the new features in ABSYNTH 5 compared to ABSYNTH 4:
•
The Mutator: This powerful feature introduces a totally new approach to sound design
with ABSYNTH. With the Mutator, you can let ABSYNTH automatically generate new
Sounds somewhere between the current Sound and other Sounds from the Library.
•
New Aetherizer effect: This amazing effect combines a granular-based feedback with a
post-delay section. Moreover, all its parameters can be both randomized and modulated.
•
New Cloud filter: This is the little brother of the new Aetherizer effect, for use in the Filter
modules within the Patch Window.
•
New Supercomb filter: This filter type extends the capacities of the Comb filter (still avail-
able), using some of the characteristics of the Resonators and Pipe Delay effects.
•
New feedback loop for many filter types: LPF 2 Pole, LPF 4 Pole, LPF 8 Pole, Supercomb,
Allpass 2, Allpass 4, Allpass 8. Filter feedback allows you to insert a sound modulator
like a Waveshaper, Frequency shifter or Ring modulator in the resonance path, giving your
filters custom distortions, even ones never heard before.
•
Reorganized Filter, Modulator and Waveshaper modules: These modules now present a
unified interface and propose a new organization for their menus.
•
Support for Windows XP/Vista 64-bit operating systems.
