Camel Audio Alchemy v1.12 Now Available

Camel Audio has released an update to their sample manipulation synthesizer Alchemy, and is including a new set of samples and presets for the Factory library as part of the Group Buy bonuses.

Alchemy v1.12

This update includes many new features and bug fixes including improved Cameleon preset import, playback position indicators for all editors, the performance octave switch remains active when changing presets for easy key switching between remix snapshots, equal power cross-fading between sources, increased zoom levels for some editors, improved skinning and numerous other improvements. This version of Alchemy no longer requires the main Alchemy key file as the users registration details are now encrypted and embedded directly in to the Alchemy binary file for improved security and protection.

The first set of bonuses from the Group Buy are also available:

• Choirs, Basses & Keys - 500MB samples
• Viral Infection from Nucleus Soundlab - 1GB samples
• 150 new presets making use of the latest sample content
• Four tutorial videos illustrating how to use Alchemy more effectively

Registered users of Alchemy can download the latest update, new content and view the tutorials by logging in to their support account. A list of new presets sorted by category is available, along with a list of the new samples. The release notes for all versions of Alchemy since v1.08 is available here.
