What was new in Absolute 5:
Backbone
One of the most innovative plug-ins for drum sound design and re-synthesis. Layer, re-synthesize and decompose samples into noise and tonal parts. Thanks to many unique features and superior workflows, you can make 808s fatter than ever, design cinematic hits, and craft your own signature drum sounds.
Amped Elektra
A rare vintage electric piano which has been completely restored by the manufacturer, sampled from the DI signal and reamped through three legendary amps like “The Tower” from 1949, a Fender Twin and Ampeg V4. If that was not enough classic gear, we have also included unique impulse responses from different reverb units through the decades. Now that’s what we call a character instrument.
Electric Bass
This awesome electric bass library is based on samples and combines these with advanced physical modeling. This new concept allows you to create the sound of classics in no time at all, from J-bass to P-bass and even the MM-bass. It comes with seven articulations from fingerstyle and muted to slapped and an authentic auto legato and slide function.
