In 2002 Rob Papen approached Peter Linsener of LinPlug with the idea of a sound-designers dream synth. A few months later ALBINO was born! This very unique synth stole the hearts of many musicians due to it's high quality sound, usability and inspirational presets.
Now, just when you thought things couldn't get any better... Albino 3 arrives! There are loads of amazing new creative features added like the two new filters "Scream" and "Comb"; four FX units with new FX like LoFi and WahWah; a Compressor and an improved Reverb. But the biggest new feature is that you can layer up to four instances of Albino in one single preset!
Albino 3 has more than 2100 'Rob Papen' presets in various styles of music plus two banks by the very talented REYN (Famous Dutch producer), Noisia (Dutch DnB) and NarvanaX (Dutch Hardcore).
Each preset can now be made up of 4 individual layers. So actually a sound can make use of up to 80 oscillators for a single note ( 4 Layers, 4 Oscillators each, 5 times Spread). A typical todays DAW, either Mac or PC can usually handle about 120 Albino 3 Digital Oscillators or 75 Albino 3 “Analoge” Oscillators. But to explore the musical possibilities that the Albino 3 Layers offer to you we recommend to check out the presets that come with Albino 3. Some people told us that now they have a full song right at their fingertips. Thanks for the compliment.
Each layer can have an up to 32 step rhythm arpeggiator with several modes: up, down, up/down, down/up, as played, random mode and a chord and modulation mode. It can be retriggered, it can swing with your music and you can mix its step velocity values with the velocity you played the chord. Your own creations can be save or copy/pasted to other presets. Many of the new presets make use of the Arpeggiator and the possibilities are literary endless.
