Welcome

Thank you for purchasing the Rob Papen Albino 3.

The Albino 3 is a fully-professional, highly-flexible, easy-to-use, fourth-

generation virtual instrument designed for creating music on your personal

computer.

The Albino 3 is the unique result of a collaboration between Virtual

Instrument designer Peter Linsener and Dutch sound designer Rob Papen.

The 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.

This manual describes all aspects of the Albino 3 synthesizer and is

designed so that your use of this software is as efficient and as pleasurable

as possible.

We feel that the Albino 3 is exceptional because of its audio quality, its

features and especially because of the presets programmed by Rob

Papen. We hope you get a lot of pleasure using the Albino 3 Synthesizer

and that it becomes an inspirational part of your music-making.

Installation

Installation on PC

The Albino 3 comes with its own Installer. After downloading the Albino 3

you will find a file named "AlbinoInstaller3xx.exe" located in your download

folder. Start this program to begin the installation process. The Installer will

guide you through the installation process.

Make sure you choose the right directory, so your host software finds the

Albino3. Refer to your host software's manual if you are unsure about

where the host software plug-in directory is located.

The instrument file "Albino3.DLL" and the Albino 3 manual and presets will

be placed in the chosen directory. The next time you start your host

software the Albino 3 will be listed in the RTAS or VST Instrument list.

Installation on Mac

The Albino 3 comes with its own Installer. After downloading the Albino 3

you will find a file named "AlbinoInstaller3xx.dmg" located in your download

folder. Double-click this file to decompress and open the image, then

double-click the installer program to begin the installation process.

You will be guided through the installation process. The instrument file

"Albino3" and the Albino 3 presets will now be placed in the right directory

for virtual instruments on your Mac. The next time you start your host

software the Albino 3 will be listed in the AU / RTAS / VST Instrument list.

Common to Mac and PC

After you've installed and opened the full version of the Albino 3, go to the

instrument's rear panel. The S/N edit box should read "Enter here". Enter

the serial number you have received into the S/N edit box. If the serial

number has not been entered or it has been entered incorrectly, the full

version of the Albino 3 will not play any notes. To switch back to the main

edit screen click the Albino 3 logo on the rear panel.

Now send the Albino 3 a few note-on messages. After the Albino 3

receives the first few note-on messages it automatically becomes

registered.

If you have any questions regarding the installation of Albino 3 please

contact our support team at www.linplug.com/support/support.htm.

In comparison with its predecessor the Albino 2, the Albino 3 contains a

host of new features intended to make your music-making more efficient

and enjoyable. These new features are listed below:

Each preset can now be made up of 4 individual layers.

Each layer features controls for Visibility, On/Off, Activity, Location,

Name, Browse Previous, Browse Next, Load, Save, Volume, Pan, Note

Offset (Transpose), Filter Control Source (Pitchwheel, Modwheel and

Aftertouch), Key Range and Velocity Range.

Wah wah effect.

Compressor effect.

LoFi effect.

Enhanced reverb effect including controls for diffusion, modulation,

modulation speed and a sync menu for predelay.

The cutoff-modulation-speed of the filter in the Effects section can be

synced to song tempo.

Oscillator 1 can be used as an audio input so that external audio can

be processed.

Each Oscillator now has its own Spread control.

Each Oscillator now has a Free-run mode.

Each ADSFR Envelope now has 4 additional slope/curve settings.

Both envelope types now have a Sync control which switches between

Time and Sync modes.

Filter Saturation now has 4 different modes.

2 new types of filter: Scream and Comb.

Oscillator 2 can be used to modulate Filter1FM

Oscillator 4 can be used to modulate Filter2FM

The Bend Range control now has separate controls for Up/Down.

The Analog Oscillator now has a control for the sub-oscillator intensity.

The Modulation Matrix now has 16 slots.

Features

The Albino 3 contains a range of features designed to make your music-

making more efficient and enjoyable. These features are described below:

Sound Presets consist of 4 separate Layers for rich, complex sound

synthesis.

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. Various

filter routing options.

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 26 sources and 47

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)

Rob Papen Albino 3.0 8

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 supported.

Adjustable Precision setting for recreating the warmth of true analog

synthesizers.

Gen (randomize) function for experimentation and 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.

Overview

The Albino 3 is a 32 note-polyphonic virtual subtractive-style synthesizer

with some extraordinary features. The synthesizer has a layered modular

design that includes various oscillator modules, filter modules, envelope

modules and effects modules.

The block diagram below shows the signal flow within the Albino 3

synthesizer:

An Albino 3 Preset is made up of one to four individual Layers. Each Layer

is divided into 7 sections: Oscillator, Filter, Effects, Envelope, Modulation

Matrix/LFO, Arpeggiator and Master.

Audio signals are generated by an oscillator that gets pitch information

from the synthesizer's MIDI input. The MIDI input is automatically

connected to MIDI output of the host software. Albino receives MIDI on all

Channels simultaneously.

The Albino 3 has four oscillators per Layer. Each oscillator has its own

amplitude envelope. Each oscillator's pitch can be controlled using the

Modulation Matrix, with all four oscillators being controlled by a single

modulation envelope.
