1. My real name is Albin

2. I like Rob Papen´s Virus sounds

3. LinPlug is a damn cool company..

4. there are mac versions..



peace, moritz

Seems that there is some corrupted datas on the Macos9 sit files...

anyone else who's face to the same problem ?

-i just gave an early feedback to them about it...

Here comes the FIRST real VST plugin which has a bunch of great USABLE presets which is a tradition not many vsti's have.i am really impressed with the quality of the presets.Agreed its the same Delta 3 engine that didnt impress me much(I think the sound is weak compared to NI stuff) ,but the presets on this one really show off the man's skills.Now i am wetting myself with what this guy wuld do if he made presets for NI stuff hmm...

Same here.

sorry for that guys, I was just exited that I exist as a Vsti namewise!

I successfully downloaded the Mac OS9 demo from the Linplug site, though I won't have time to play with it until this evening.

MMMIII, you have no need to apologize. Anytime a major new synth is released for Mac as well as PC it's worth celebrating.

well, well, well where are the really reasons to buy a synth like Albino ?

Ok, the demo songs sound to me that this is a very boring synth.
(pip pip pip puuup pip...)

Where are the [b]big difference between the other $$ VSTi synths ?[/b]

Don´t get me wrong folks I am only a guy who wants to check/hear all meanings from other people before I buy !

Stange i still have the same problem by downloading albino macos9 from the linplug site !

where should be the problem then ?

would my IQ be so low that i'm incapable to download it correctly ?

bryllyant, it's about the 'character' of the sound - that thing that the old ProphetVS and Access and Pentagon and (in a different way) Junglist have.

I have only heard those two demos, but if they were recorded with no extra treatments, then this sounds like it will be a good one to have - a warm vibrant velvety sound...just the way I like it.

We'll have to try the demo version and see if it provides something we're looking for.

Albin???
ahhh-geh!

I'll call you Moritz. Ah, btw, good evening

I really like presets - but i find the VSTi a wee bit too expensive for my budget

This is one of the better synthesizers out there. No doubt.

But if one claim to bring out a "edge cutting" synthesizer, he has to make the prove.

At first, this synth don't sound "fat" as announced by the makers and expected by me.
I even would say it sounds rather digital. Oscillators, just this "analog" one, sounds actually more digital than the "digital" oscillator. And it aliases more than the digital one.
The filters don't have what I would describe as creamy or silky or even "fat" in my ears. One associates FAT with analog sooner, I think. The oscillators too. Somehow weak in general.
High resonance gets the typical digital "ringing", what is not so the "analog" thing too, I think.

And this synth is definitively more a Linplug synth rather than a PR synth. Even the saturation is very strange/digital. More a distortion.

I think that the digital FM7 can sound much fatter in general than this one.

This synth is definitively not ideal for emulating drum sounds for this reason. It is not a secret, that synthesizers, which can emulate easy good drum sounds, are very often exellent in the entire sound synthesis capabilities. This is "the" check mark for quality of VA synthesis, i think.

The performance is very good on AMD processors. What you NECESSAIRLY need, is a Vintage Warmer in addition to this synth!
Interface is very usable and proper designed (the same like on Delta 3). Effects are very nice and countfull, but only two in parallel connection possible at same time.

I miss switching over the voices via MIDI patch control very much. Switching voices with the kick buttons is hell. On some voices gets out the filter whith loud clicks, if one changes it while playing to different slopes. And notes will hang on most mono sound while switching to new voices while playing...
this may be fixed in the near future.

Presets are very good. Many novadays basics. But not too special. More velocity modulation should added mostly for my taste.

Personal opinion: not that "edge cutting" , like claimed.
But acceptable. A nice addition to the existing "top" software synthesizers.

Am I a bit stupid or is there only one envelope on Albino. I can't say that I was too impressed with it although it had a few interesting, if not useful, presets. I really can't see anything at all to justify the price-tag. Again, the filter is disappointing.

The envelops are changed by the small buttons on the left side.

I really like this synth, the patches are useful and a breeze to program from. There are a lot of 80's type synths it reminds me of, kind of like the Juno and Jupiter series Rolands.

There is a fair amount of alising but it's fairly easy to hide with a bit of effects and some envelop tweaks.

Although not what I'd call fat sounding I would say it's a nicely refined sound that is highly useful and a nice compliment to more aggressive synths like rgc's Pentagon and z3ta+ which IMO have more punch in the bottom end. Trying it with VirSyn TERA was interesting too, the sound was very complimentary towards the three synths mentioned.

I like the direction LinPlug has been going with their designs. Although there is room for improvement on any technology the main issue is how well the synth works in a mix and in this case the program quality.

Having heard the demo sounds it's pretty obvious Albino is a real winner. It's a tad pricey but I was talking to my partner earlier and we did some breaking down of costs. N.I. is selling 2 banks of Absynth presets for $50. There's 4 full banks in the purchased version of Albino which is obviously a good chunk of the value in the synth. Even if Delta has some similarities I think Albino meets my needs better and if I were in a position to purchase I'd choose it over Delta III. Most importantly, I took to programming it almost instantly and although it's not a simple synth it is intuitive which is refreshing in a large scale type synth.

Great work guys. I'm very impressed at how well it sits in a mix and how nicely it works with other synths that are harsher or more ballsy.
