A Taste Of The Future
The unique blend of inimitable effects with multiple synthesis and sampling techniques is the defining element of the ABSYNTH sound, now more than ever before. The signal flow is far more flexible and a revolutionary wave morphing feature has been added. Both the master effects section and the modulation concept have been greatly enhanced. All these enhancements further sweeten ABSYNTH's already distinctive sonic flavour.
Browsing The Library
ABSYNTH 4 comes equipped with 1,200 KORE-configured presets spanning a vast range of styles and sounds. From clear, pristine leads to wild, alien soundscapes – it's all there. The KoreSound® Browser makes using the presets fast and easy: Search and filter functions let you find presets according to specific characteristics and attributes – a truly intuitive and musical approach.
Studio And Stage
ABSYNTH 4 is designed both for the studio as well as for the stage. The sixteen macro controls allow multiple settings to be tweaked at the same time. All sixteen are automatically mapped onto KORE's control elements, ensuring that the remote control of ABSYNTH 4 is always hassle-free. Twisting sounds on-the-fly has never been easier.
ABSYNTH 4 is available for € 299 / $ 339 from authorized dealers worldwide and in the NI Online Shop.
(Update from ABSYNTH 3: € 99 / $ 119)
