The output of any or all of the oscillators can be routed to either Filter 1,
Filter 2 or both in series or parallel as shown above. The filter modifies the
frequency spectrum of the oscillator's output. Both filters are stereo and
completely independent, and each has an envelope for controlling its cutoff
parameter.
Oscillators one and three have a further routing option. Their output can be
used to modulate the frequency and amplitude of oscillators two and four
respectively. This option increases the richness of the spectrum of the
modulated oscillators, producing very interesting, harmonically-rich results.
Oscillators two and four can also be used to modulate the cutoff frequency
of Filter 1 and Filter 2 respectively.
The output of the Filter section is then sent to the Effects section which
contains four independent stereo effects modules, each of which contains
two Choruses, two Delays, a Filter, a Phaser, a Reverb, a Flanger, a Gator,
a Wah Wah, a Compressor and LoFi effect. Each effects processor is
described in detail later in this manual. The output of the four separate
effects modules can be sent to either the next module or the main output.
The output of each filter can be sent to each effects module or to the first
and third effects module.
The audio outputs of the Albino 3 are automatically connected to the input
of your host software's mixer. Here you can set the pan position of the
Albino's output.
At various points throughout the signal path you can modulate the signal
using either envelopes, LFOs, the Arpeggiator or MIDI Controllers. The
Albino 3 contains 8 independent envelopes. The first 4 control each
oscillator's amplitude. Envelopes 6 and 7 can be used to control Filter 1
and Filter 2, while Envelope 8 controls the overall audio amplitude.
Envelope 5 is a general purpose envelope designed for use with the
Modulation Matrix and so can control any available modulation destination.
The Albino 3 also contains 4 independent LFOs. Each LFO has its own
envelope controls as well as syncing and waveshaping options. LFOs can
be routed to any available modulation destination.
Hopefully, this chapter has given you a brief overview of how the Albino 3
works. More detailed information can be found in the following chapters.
