Samplecraze Albino Sound Bank - Dark To Light

[Samplecraze]

Hi Albinoists (Albinists?),

I am both happy and excited to announce our latest sound bank release:
Albino 3 - Dark To Light.
This is a first for Samplecraze in terms of providing exclusive sound libraries directly to users. I have known Rob Papen since the Emu days, and always felt that a sound designer of his scope and experience would be a perfect candidate for designing and developing vstis that would in turn help other sound designers to get the best out of the tools, and thus design innovative sound sets.

Sure enough, Albino is without a doubt a wonderful vsti to use, with a unique feature set and tone colours, so I decided to dive into a project to create a varied yet extremely coloured sound library for use in any compositional project. Emphasis has been placed on providing a 'different' sound palette to the norm and to exhaust some of Albino's potent tools. The result is:

Dark To Light: This collection features a massive 450 presets exploring synth history all the way from 50's sci-fi weirdness, through classic phat analogue timbres and rich layered ensembles, drum machines and sound effects, to cutting edge digital and FM quirkiness. From darkest black to purest white, nothing offers a wider spectrum of synth colours.

Ideal for genres such as ambient, dance, electronica, glitch, IDM, space music, and trance, as well as many others. It explores the entire range from cone-bending sub-basses to whispering digital textures, from dark and dirty to squeaky clean. Sometimes spiky and sometimes silky smooth, this is a library filled with inspiration for your own musical creations.

Sound Types: 48 Basses, 71 Drums, 61 Effects, 63 Keys, 41 Layers, 32 Pads, 78 Sequences, and 61 Synths.

I would like to take this opportunity in thanking KVR members for their contributions in demo compositions and particularly to:

Torben Hansen for a beautiful and intimately thought our demo.

Sergey Nikonov for his manic yet lovely dance based demo.

The Unfinished for his lovely and evolving film scape demo.

Guys, I am truly indebted.

The demos are embedded within the player on the Samplecraze site and I ask you to visit and audition these excellent compositions.

I hope you will take this journey with me and visit Dark To Light and I hope you will get some sonic satisfaction from the content. At the very least I would love to read your feedback on this product and hopefully that will direct me to new scapes and content.

Dark To Light

Thank you for taking the time to read this.

A very varied collection of sounds there Zukan - your bank does seem to offer loads of variety!

I particularly enjoyed the latter part of Torben Hansen's demo with the scary theremin
