Linplug Software and Rob Papen joined forces in 2002 to create one of the most critically aclaimed software syntehsizers for the past years, Albino. The new Albino 3 includes loads of amazing new creative features 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 most imporatant new feature is that you can layer up to four instances of Albino in one single preset creating sounds that could only dream of. Also, Albino 3 has more than 2100 presets in various styles of music plus two banks by REYN (Famous Dutch producer), Noisia (Dutch DnB) and NarvanaX (Dutch Hardcore).

Use layers and arpegiators to create a one finger song
In albino 3 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 Analogue 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. You can have now a full song right at their fingertips. Each layer can have an up to 32 step rhythm arpeggiator with several modes in Albino 3: 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.

Over 2100 pro presets by Rob Papen
The famed Dutch sound designer Rob Papen provided more than 2000 presets that cover all type of sounds for todays contemporary music. After providing presets for the Emu Orbit-3 and Access Virus.
