"We use Absynth regularly for pads and if we’re in need of some strange percussion/fx sounds. The mutate function is great when you're lacking a bit of inspiration and you can always keep track of your original patch with the mutation history."

"Absynth is one of the most ingenious synthesizers ever. The architecture and the sound are probably the most accomplished I have ever seen and heard."

"Absynth has single handedly taken over my production techniques..."

"Absynth was the first soft synth I ever used and it's still the best - it's insanely powerful but intuitive and allows you to make very bizarre sounds very easily."

"Even from the first version, Absynth was always my "go to" synth when I wanted something different and cutting edge. Absynth 4 takes it to a whole new level. Besides the incredible array of unique and inspiring sounds, the new interface allows me to quickly narrow my searches to just the kinds of sound I'm looking for in seconds... an incredible time saver."

"Absynth has been a favourite instrument in my studio right from its first release. The complex, organic sounds and deep programming possibilities make it indispensable for virtually every production I'm involved in. With all the new features, such as the audio processing and surround integration, Absynth 3 is a great development."
