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).

The Layers
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 3Analoge?
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.

Orbit-3 and Access Virus. Get hold of the third version of
this masterpiece of instrument design and sound design, get

Powerful Arpeggiator
Each layer can have an up to 32 step rhythm arpeggiator with
several modes in ALBINO : 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.
