Reviewed By Resonator63 [all]
June 2nd, 2011
Version reviewed: 1.20.1 on Windows
If you're looking for a vsti that can make the sounds that are there in your imagination,look no further,you've just found it.
The possibilities appear to be endless.I've not had it long so i've barely scratched the surface.It's going to take me sometime to get to grips with,but I know it's going to be worth it.
The interface:
The interface has a nice logical layout that is easy to follow inspite of the complex sounds that Alchemy is capable of.
The default factory skin is nice.But personally I prefer the alternative Nightshade skin.
Sound:
Wow!!! just going through the supplied presets offers a jaw dropping array of epic pads,bass,leads you name it.Being able to import samples and SFZ and resynthesize them offers the chance to create some really unique sounds.
Features:
VA,additive,spectral,granular synthesis on offer.31 different filter types.
Camelphat distortion algorithms.16 effects including those from Camelphat and Camelspace.Amazing modulation possibilites.What more can you ask for.
Documentation:
There is a good manual which i'm using a lot at the moment as I get to grips with Alchemy.There are also some excellent video tutorials available on the Camel Audio website.
Presets:
675 presets from some top sound designers.There are some superb sounds.If you don't want to roll your own then further sound libraries are also available for purchase.Just going through the presets can be inspiring.
Customer support:
Absolutely superb.Great support by email and also on the forum here on KVR.
I had a problem downloading and installing the presets and samples.The guys at Camel soon sorted it out for me.
Value for money:
Alchemy can acheive pretty much any sound you can imagine,so it's great value for money.
Stability:
I've had no stability issues so far.Seems to be rock solid.
If you want to try it out download the demo or to get a taste of the sounds Alchemy player is free.Give it a try.You won't regret it.Read Review
