Hey guys,

Wondering if anyone here has absynth 4 and is experiencing something strange.

When I load the preset "cold corners" I can't seem to instantiate a low pass filter without losing the sound from the oscillators?? Can anyone just load the preset and see if they can change the main filter to a lowpass in the patch view for me?

I've been fiddling with it for two weeks on and off and can't make it work, I think I'm doing something wrong, but even when I try to load a filter on the oscillator's individual channel rather than the master, I get the same thing, losing audio from that channel completely. This only happens with lowpass filters for some reason, not bandpass filters or anything else.

HALP?!

Yeah, same problem here. But, if I select LPF-6 or LPF-12, I get a very faint sound. That is weird. It doesn't look like any of the modulators are assigned to any filter parameters, and even when I open the LPFs all the way, I still don't hear any sound.

What a pain. This is really holding up my ability to finish a really promising project.

Good to hear its not just something wrong with my absynth though. Do you have any thoughts on why it might be cryo? I've only just started really delving into absynth so I'm not that great at it yet...

I guess if worst comes to worst I can always rebuild the patch. I just really liked the tone they had coming out of the osc bank

I'll have a look when I get home, but can't you disable the filter for now and use a 3rd party filter on the sound?

No, unfortunately, I just looked at it briefly before leaving for work this morning, but I can take a closer look when I get home this evening. In the meantime, it's very easy to disengage the filter, so tehlord's advice should work fine, provided you're not needing velocity modulation of the cutoff/resonance, keyfollowing, etc.

In response to both of these posts: yeah, I've thought of it, but I'm keen to map an envelope (triggered by the note press) to the filter... I know I could use an envelope triggered by the amplitude instead using ableton's auto filter or similar, but its a bit less than ideal really.

I'm just wondering what's causing the issue tbh, it really annoys me when I can't track down a glitch in a patch

Thanks very much for your help though, I'd really appreciate it if you could both take a look for me and see what you think

Same deal for me, and Absynth baffles me at the best of times so my input is now officially over

Bumpy....


Anyone able to help out here and give some opinion on why abysnth is behaving like this?

If not I guess I'll take it to the NI forums...

If you have a KVR account there's a bloke there called 'ew' who is unofficially the NI guru.

Cheers... I believe he's on the NI forums too so that'll save me making a new account.

Just wondering mainly whether its a bug or something that I'm overlooking. I hate it when I know that theres something critical I've missed

Hmm, are you keeping the Notch master on there or adding another?

I was able to do this without any issues; responded to frequency adjustments fine as well. You using Absynth 5, updated and all that jazz?

Edit: Oops. Saw that you're on 4. It seems to be rectified on 5. Sorry

Edit again: Hmmm... it was working just fine, but audio actually cut out during a playback and then stopped working. Had to switch to another patch and back to get it back on (removing the LP didn't fix the issue). More NI oddness (not sure about other people but I'm always having oddness with Battery and Kontact too).

bypass or change the envelope settings of the master filter!
it's assigned to CC1 (named hpass)
