Rob Papen Albino-3 Legend

The resurrection of a legendary and groundbreaking soft synth from the past! Originally released in 2006, Albino- 3 was the result of a collaboration between Virtual Instrument designer Peter Linsener and Dutch sound designer and musician Rob Papen.

Now reborn as Albino-3 Legend with our in-house programmers at the helm we have added VST3 support, different GUI sizes, and compatibility with the latest PC and Mac operating systems and processors. Albino-3's key features include high-quality presets in a wide range of styles, an easy-to-use interface, highly flexible oscillators, four types of stereo filters, an enormous range of processing and modulation options, a powerful, flexible arpeggiator and a layer system that allows you to combine up to four layers in one preset.

FEATURES

• Sound Presets consist of 4 separate Layers for rich, complex sound synthesis.
• Unlimited sound programs, Sound Browser
• +2100 presets by Rob Papen and various artist
• 4 oscillators per Layer, 4 types. Oscillator modules include Analog-type, Digital-type, Noise-type and Audio Input-type. FM modulation and AM modulation. Oscillator Sync in Analog Oscillator 2 and 4
• Stereo Filters, 4 types. Filter modules include Silk-type, Cream-type, Scream-type, and Comb-type. 3 multimode filters (Silk, Cream and Scream), each with a different basic design thus producing different sounding filters. Filters are stereo with panning and panning modulation options.
• Saturation knob precedes each filter to add overdrive to the sound before it enters the filter. Four types of Saturation are available.
• 8 envelopes, 2 types. ADSFR type and 5-stage envelope type with loop function. Each envelope stage has separate slope/curve settings. Each oscillator has its own volume envelope.
• 4 LFOs with various waveforms and midi-syncable. LFO Waves have adjustable start-phase and waveform-symmetry. LFOs can also be set to mono mode.
• Modulation Matrix which includes 16 routings with 27 sources and 36 destinations. Separate control section for Velocity to: AMP, Filter 1 and Filter 2.
• Arpeggiator with 32 step rhythm sequencer, step length, clock settings, various modes including modulation and chord, switchable keyboard retrigger, swing, velocity mix, save/load functionality.
• Spread function for each Oscillator for ultra fat detuned sounds.
• Chord memory mode (saved with the preset)
• 4 effects units per layer each containing 12 stereo effects including two Choruses, two Delays, Filter, Phaser, Reverb, Flanger, Gator, Wah Wah, Compressor and LoFi.
• Mono/Polyphonic Portamento/Glide featuring Fingered mode, switchable constant Time/constant Rate and Auto-Bend Modes
• Sound programs are stored directly on hard disk so providing a virtually unlimited number of storage locations. Sounds are sorted into style-maps for easy search. Integrated Sound Browser, MIDI program change and bank change supported.
• Adjustable Precision setting for recreating the warmth of true analog synthesizers
• Gen (randomize) function for experimentation and preset fun
• Microtonal support (Scala file import) for different scales (Indian, Arabic, etc.)
• Adjustable keyboard velocity response curve.
• 32-voice polyphony
• Adjustable voice limit (mono, 1...12, oo).
• MIDI activity display (also triggers a C3 when clicked)
• Several parameters are located on the "rear panel" so they are not changed accidentally during use.
• Controller hardware (faderbox or synth) settings can be saved and restored.
• Dial operation is switchable between circular and linear modes
