Click “Programs” if it’s not lit in green.If the “On” button is lit, Absynth listens for MIDI program changes. Drag sounds you would like in your preset change list to the “Program List”.Create some dummy clips (a clip with no notes) by double clicking in a clip slot for the device holding Absynth.In the “Notes” section of the device interface, use the bottom field to set the program number.In the example, the clip in focus is set to a value of “Pgm 3” which will select the third preset in the list. You can set a different progam number for each clip. Of course this technique will work with any VST or hardware synth that can receive a MIDI patch change. One use case for a live situation is to use a grid controller like a Launchpad or APC 40 to launch the dummy clips to quickly change patches. You could load up 8 of your favorite synths (or 8 instances of absynth), then use scene launches to tee up the patches per scene. For example, if you use used one scene per song in a live situation, you could launch the scene, then select each track (or set of tracks to arm and layer the synths as the song progressed. When you are ready for song 2, launch scene 2 and all the patches will be teed up. The advantage that instead of having to load a new set per song, or have a lot of instances of a synth, you simply use the same synths instances for each song and change the presets in play for each song.Absynth is a sophisticated synthesiser. While it is powerful, it can also be quite esoteric, as its layout is not as immediately tweakable as its contemporaries. ![]() It is a true software synthesiser in that it isn’t inspired directly from hardware synthesisers. So we need to tread beyond the obvious in order to unlock its power. This tutorial is about how we can use Absynth to control samples by using its granular synthesis engine. You will need a copy of Absynth and a suitable MIDI controller with a mod wheel (or you at least be able to assign a control knob to MIDI CC1). ![]() You will also need some kind of interesting vocal sample, as we will create a weird vocal patch that you can scrub through. I recorded myself saying ‘supercalifragilisticexpialidocious’ to give me a long constant sample. Start a new sound in Absynth: File > New Sound.Select ‘Granular’ mode from the drop-down box at the top of Oscillator A.Click the (none) button below the ‘Granular’ drop-down, and select a vocal sample.If you play through the sample on the keyboard, you will notice that it conserves the timing, regardless of the pitch. #Midi learn absynth 5 PatchĬurrently, the patch plays through the whole sample. We are going to set it up so that we only play a short section of the sample and use a mod wheel to choose which bit plays. This gives us a greater number of sample grains and raises the quality. We are now playing only a small portion of the sample.
