Doc, there are times that Albino 3 and my Virus KC sound really similar, but ultimately the two are very distinct.
If I didn't have a Virus KC I would be happy as hell with Albino 3, but I'm not going to sell my Virus because I have Albino 3. Does that make sense?
Albino 3 does have some really beefy sounds in the 2100+ preset library, and some really nice, warm vintage analog sounds too.
I hear that doing things like programming arps and other fine tweaks are a breeze in Albino 3 compared to VA's or workstations (see the review on
www.tweakheadz.com) but have not had an opprtunity to test the differences myself.
Hope that info is helpful.
BTW, are you using a Mac or PC, Doc? I seem to remember you providingme with some good PC hardware specs last year but can't remember what platform you actually use for your own projects.
