Albino 3 and Predator?

Oops - forgot to ask: What exactly is "Intelligent Preset Variation" (Predator)

Hi barlowjam

Albino and Predator have a simmilar feature set, but there is where it all ends.

Both of them have different character in the sound where Predator can sound both warm and raw, and Albino has a more mellow sound (I Prefer Predator).
Predator also has a fx unit so you can use it as a effect or as a synth so you get 2 dll´s.
Predator has also the most flexible vocoder i have seen in a vst and it sounds damn good, and you can use the PredatorFX.dll as a vocoder with the built in synth right on the audio track with only 1 intance of PredatorFX.

Predator is also more aimed at the dance and trance scene which you probably discovered while you demoed them, so is Albino but albino also has a lot of ambient sounds for more laidback music .
I have also demoed Albino, but ended up with Predator and Blue instead since i prefered the raw sound you could get out of them, but i also have Albino on my wishlist so i will have all the three Rob Papen synths in my collection

But for more ambient pads and arpeggios i would choose Albino.

Maybe you should demo them some more to see which you like the best since sound is subjective and it is hard to recommend something based on my own feelings, and maybe get you into buying something that you will regret later

Thanks for your comments. My post sounds a little like I'm asking someone else to tell me - which tastes better, apples or oranges? (before I break down and actaully taste them myself) But I really find it very helpful to hear other opinions - for several reasons. I guess its whatever features/limits/concerns that I can't hear in the demos that I'm looking for.

So thanks again.
