“Pads, leads, basses, weird noises, bell tones, FM-style purity or analogue grit - Albino can do the lot. In this respect, it could conceivably be the only soft synth you need”

macuser.co.uk
Rating 5 out of 5

“Wer synthetische Sounds in amtlicher Qualität braucht, diese schnell und effektiv editieren will, gerne auch Presets nutzt und auf statisch klingende Samples verzichten will, für den ist der Albino die perfekte Wahl”

Recording.de

“Dank der mächtigen, flexiblen Synthesemöglich- keiten und gut klingenden Effekte ist Albino in vielen Genres zu Hause – breite Trancearpeggios und Leads sowie pumpende EBM-Sequenzen sind ebenso möglich wie abgrundtiefe Drum ’n Bass-Bässe oder auch ausdrucksstarke ProgRock-Leads.”

Beat 10/2006

„Wer auf der Suche nach einem eigenständig und charakteristisch klingenden Synthesizer mit enormen Gestaltungsmöglichkeiten ist, sollte sich mit Albino 3 einmal beschäftigen.“
