new upload: Hypno Panner

In this rather hypnotic patch the amplitudes of all Oscillators are controlled by a temposynced envelopes. Oscillator A runs in Double mode, the Waveform in the Mod Tab is modulated/morphed by a LFO. A Cloudfilter and a LPF 4 Pole Filter process the signal, you can tune the Cloudfilter up an octave with Macro 5 and control the LP Cutoff wih Macro 4. The Modwheel controls the balance bewteen the Main and the Mod wave. Macro 1 controls the range (+1 octave) of a temposynced pitch envelope. Oscillator B runs in FM mode and has a temposynced envelope assigned to it's panning. Control the pitch of the Modulator wave with Macro 7. An Allpass Filter processes the signal. Oscillator C also runs in FM mode with envelope-controlled panning and a LPF 4 Pole Filter with LFO-controlled waveshaped Filter Feedback. In the Master section a LPF 2 Pole Filter let's you reduce the overall Cutoff with Macro 8. The Aetherizer in the FX section has Macros 9-11 assigned. There is a lot of wave-morphing going on in this patch, please check the LFO and enevelope pages for further modulation sources and targets.
The download folder contains two patch formats: ksd (old Absynth) and nab (new Absynth).

Absynth Tutorial 1: Granular Worx

As this is one of the most frequently asked questions, here is a tutorial video about controlling sample playhead position/speed in Granular mode with envelopes.

new upload: Raining

Channels A+B both carry the same sample in Granular mode, a mysterious texture I made with Metasynth. In Channel A this sound is processed by a LFO-controlled Frequency Shifter, in Channel B the sample is tuned up an octave, sample playhead position/speed is controlled by looped envelopes, control the envelope's speed with Macro 2 and add pitch randomization to the sample grains with Macro 5. In Channel C there is an Oscillator in Sync Granular mode processed by a LPF 4 Pole Filter. Add LFO-controlled Filter modulation and resonance with Macro 14 and Pitch modulation with the Modwheel (Macro 13). In the Master section there is a LFO-morphed Waveshaper and a Cloudfilter with an envelope controlling the Filter Cutoff. Control the Cloudfilter Balance with Macro 5 and the speed of the envelope with Macro 1. The speed of the Waveshaper morphing and the morphing of the Frequency Shifter in module A2 is controllable with Macro 7, the Input Gain of the Waveshaper can be controlled with Macro 8. The Aetherizer in the FX section has Macros 9-12 assigned. Please check the envelope and LFO pages for further modulation sources and targets.

1st video attempt

My first shitty video of an automated Absynth 5 patch I finished today - I decided to get into tutorials a bit, my video skills are not there yet :) - but the sound is alright

new upload: SpaceQuencer

Oscillator A carries a sample I made by processing the sample of a Tam Tam (Gong) played with a Rubberball in Paulstretch, changing the harmonic content, stretching and binauralizing it. A temposynced envelope sequence assigned to the amplitude can be activated by turning Macro 1 downwards. The Resonance/Feedback of the Allpass Filter in Module A1 is processed by a Frequency Shifter controlled by the same envelope sequence which also controls the pitch of Oscillator B. Macro 5 controls the Filter Resonance so turning it up will make that sequence audible. A LFO-controlled, temposynced pitch modulation can be added to Osc A with Macro 6. Oscillator B has a 2-bar temposynced pitch sequence running, the amplitude is controlled by a temposynced LFO. The Cutoff of the LPF 4 Pole Filter in B2 is controllable with Macro 7 and ringmodulated Filter Feedback can be added with Macro 8. A Waveshaper in the Master section adds some edge and the Balance of the envelope-controlled Cloudfilter in the Master section is assigned to the Modwheel. In the FX section a temposynced Multitap Delay adds some spaciousness (Macros 9+10). Macros 3+4 are assigned to the Channel Volumes of A+B. Please check the envelope and LFO pages for further modulation sources and targets.
