Tell that to someone with perfect pitch.

Absolute pitch doesn't require you assign character to the notes that you remember. Well, I don't, so I count as a counterexample. I'm no synaesthetic that way, at least not in any conscious way.

I don't have it, but from what I've read it seems most people with absolute pitch associate some sort of character to pitches or at least keys. I'm sure that it's not a requirement.
