SmokeyJ628 Posted October 3, 2023 Share Posted October 3, 2023 Albino-3 Legend might be of interest to quite a few out there. The original Albino was well-liked. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheSteven Posted October 3, 2023 Share Posted October 3, 2023 (edited) Re Albino: Papen and the plugin designer LinPlug had a parting of the ways. Quote Sound designer Rob Papen has announced that Albino 3, his collaboration with Linplug, will be discontinued at the end of 2012: As you might know, a few years ago I asked LinPlug do build a custom synthesizer, with my specs and ideas added…. and last but not least my presets added. Since a few years I formed a own team with Jon Ayres (RPCX) and together we build some great products which I also fully can backup. The other products reflect far more the direction I wanted to go (sound wise and feature wise). Therefore I decided to stop this product which was build in conjunction with Linplug. With LinPlug having designed the Albino audio engine I wonder how different the new version will sound. Also wonder if you buy Explorer 8 if there's a grace period update to Explore 9.

There is but it's not as long as you might like. I bought Explorer 7 and skipped 8 but I'll upgrade to 9 for sure. Thankfully the upgrades so far have been the same price from any Explorer version.

Craig N Posted October 3, 2023 Share Posted October 3, 2023 (edited) 12 minutes ago, TheSteven said: What has been the update fee? Officially its 99$/Euro but it gets discounted and at launch it was the lowest I've seen it, at something like $57 on bestservice. After that it went up to something like $78. Via Rob Papen direct with coupon it's $74. I've been waiting for it to go back down to $57 so hopefully that will happen again at the launch of 9. I think the grace period was something like 3 months. I'd bought it in February of that year so I wasn't eligible.
