Absynth 6 Content
Burn or mount ISO.
Run our CMD installer (requires valid access right),
or manually copy "Absynth 6" folder to "%COMMONPROGRAMFILES%\Native Instruments\".
Enjoy!

Here is the correct path, and if the keygen doesn't work, choose Absynth 6!

(1.) Absynth 6 Content:
1. Burn or mount ISO. Run our CMD installer (requires valid access right),
2. Or UnRar it with WinRar --> Extract here
3. Copy "Absynth 6" folder to C:\Program Files\Native Instruments\Absynth 6

(2.) R2R Keygen (Windows 11 worked):
- Select "Absynth 6" and press the Register button.

(3.) NativeAccess.xml Folder is here
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Native Instruments\Service Center

Or the devs played around with Refx vanguard 2, for some unknown reason... and they were like 'yehhhhh lets go with that!'

 

NI specialists carefully observe what the competition is doing, how the competition makes its money, and which graphical user interface is the most readable. I've attached three examples from the competition.

 

Question: Absynth 6.0.1 -- Absynth 5 third-party expansions not available & import presets function needed

It doesn’t have or need an “import” function because, unlike previous versions of Absynth where preset formats got changed, Absynth 6 can still load Absynth 5 format (.nabs) natively and also loads and saves presets in the same format used in Komplete Kontrol (.nksf). So you can just drop a folder of .nabs or .nksf presets directly into the Absynth 6 sounds location. If you want them to show in the actual list of banks in the Absynth browser the best way is just to copy each folder of bank files into '/Library/Application Support/Native Instruments/Absynth 6/Sounds/bankname - don't copy the whole sounds folder just the bank so the .nabs files are all top level

This also works with symlinks - just copy the symlink to the folder of .nabs over to the same location (these are Mac paths, but I'm sure there is an equivalent folder on Win)

Actually though you can also just leave them where they are in the Absynth 5 sounds folder and use Komplete Kontrol to manage the presets - I prefer this as it means I keep them all in one location rather than have copies all over the place and so Absynth 5 can also access them - Komplete Kontrol has my Absynth 5 banks location all added to the user library and now Absynth 6 is installed it opens them in Absynth 6 instead of Absynth 5 (they still appear under the Absynth 5 location but I don't mind that as I will still use Absynth 5 until they add the ability to use Libraries)

Obviously if banks are in an earlier format like .glo you will need to convert those to .nabs first in Absynth 5.

I was happy to see this announcement, but then found that Absynth 6 runs on Mac OS 14 and higher, and I remain with OS 13 (Intel), on which I can still run Absynth 5.

 

I've had Absynth 5 since I first got Komplete years ago and still haven't gotten around to actually using it. This news just piqued my interest in diving in finally but not sure if I should just stick with 5 and mess around with that first or see what this new one has to offer.

 

Why wouldn't you just go with the new one. It has all the old patches plus the new ones so really, what would be the point? Old version doesn't have mutate or randomization either which gives you endless one of a kind presets like Omnisphere 3.

 

For Absynth 5 users - locate your path to the files - the Username you use in the below link is whatever your login name is. This is the common directory unless you manually put them somewhere else, which means it will be that directory.
ALSO- Any custom patches made in Absynth 5 if usable ,will have the mutation and random amount engines available to them. I tested them.

C:\Users\USERNAME\Documents\Native Instruments\Absynth 5\Libraries\
If for whatever reason it does not find them immediately, try putting the directory here:

The old one has those features too at least the mutate part. But truth be told if the new UI is more intuitive and it still retains the features of the old one as well as QoL fixes I may just learn with that one instead.
