Good but useless in an Intel Mac

Absynth has the top quality feel of any other NI products, you can get very unique sounds. It's great por long lasting pads and beds, however not very powerfull leads.

There are 2 MAJOR problems with version 3: + Version 4 is allready out. + DOES NOT WORK as a plug-in in an Intel Mac.

So, get V 3.0 on the cheap and get the 4.0 upgrade.

With Absynth 3 Native Instruments have outdone themselves again by adding in flexible envelopes, more effects, more sounds, and adding surround sound. This is simply the best software synthesizer you can buy right behind the almighty Reaktor 4!
