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.

What's New in Albino 3
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.
