Camel Audio tell us that Alchemy Player 1.20 is a major update to their popular SFZ and Alchemy sound playback engine, and what's
more it's now completely free. Here's their press release with all the details...
Alchemy Player now allows you to load and play any SFZ file,
and comes with 150 presets (1200 variations) plus an extra
50 sounds if you register, with a total of 1 GB of samples.
You can extend your sound palette with Camel Audio's
extensive Alchemy Sound Library range. Alchemy Player
supports all major formats on both Windows and Mac including
VST, AU and RTAS in 32-bit and 64-bit flavours.
Alchemy Player can now play back highly detailed sample
libraries of acoustic instruments, as it now supports
round-robin and key-switching plus unlimited keyboard zones
and velocity layers. Alchemy Player may be the only sample
player you ever need, since it can now load third-party or
converted SFZ libraries. When you load an SFZ file, Alchemy
automatically creates eight remix pad variations using
different effects and modulations.
Looks haven't been ignored either, with on the fly switching
of skins, a streamlined and easier-to-read face-lift for the
default skin, plus a new Nightshade skin for those who find
a darker look easier to work with.
This update took over two man-years to create with numerous
other enhancements and bug fixes. Alchemy Player 1.20 is
slicker, more powerful and faster than ever, and is now
completely free. New formats - 64-bit and RTAS:
