"Of all the plugins I have on my recently-upgraded workstation, CamelPhat and CamelSpace are the most frequently used."
Danny Elfmann

Alchemy provides more scope, flexibility and synthesis options than I've ever seen in any soft synth, yet you never feel you've entered a boffin's lair. This is design at its cleverest! ... Alchemy is a deceptively deep synth, yet its engine remains incredibly easy-to-use, and it's also excellent value for money."
Sound on Sound

"If you love programming amazing sounds - or even just playing them - don't miss Alchemy. It immediately jumped to the top of my short list of stunning, next-generation software instruments. ... Huge factory sound set. Incredibly deep programming. Massive realtime modulation possibilities. "
Key Buy Award - Keyboard

"Camelspace is one of the first effects I reach for when I'm looking to trip a sound out. It's very easy to use and the sequenced gating is just a huge timesaver. I'm using Camelspace extensively on my current tour and I also used it in a piece for Mission Impossible 3 with Tom Cruise."
Thomas Dolby


Full details on all of Camel Audio's products and the extensive range of Professional Soundbanks can be found on their website at www.camelaudio.com


We are just winding up the last bits and pieces before we contact the user base so if you can see this post as it is you will be getting a head start on the competition. When we contact everyone we will be promoting this on the homepage so.... what are you waiting for?

Get started already!

Question

Does it work with cubase 4 is my big question. I guess it does but does anyone know how much CPU overhead it needs. I'm running flat-out on an old Dell at the mo and there aint much headroom for anything that's a bit intensive on CPU.

It's a serious question cos it might not be practical on my "old" setup and I'd hate to part with a quid or two to find that it's the straw that bitches the camel's back etc..

Any thoughts anyone?

Andy

Andy download the free player and test it. the sound pack is the chargeable thing, the free player has it's own presets so is fine to test.

Ok I'm gonna sound like a pleb here but am I right in thinking you have to have a DAW to use this software? I d/l'd this the other week assuming that the Alchemy Player would have some functionality of it's own but couldn't open it. This being the case it counts me out I'm afraid. I did download the free version of FL8 a while back but my PC is so shite it couldn't even play back a basic drum beat without slowing up and when i tried a bassline it practically stopped altogether

Feels like it at times
It's actually a 10+ year old Pentium 3, it runs like a sack of shite but I can't afford to replace it. I do all my recordings on a Zoom 10 track.

With any justice you'll have the royalty cheques flooding in soon.
Listening to 'Come to Me' right now on Marko's radio station, deserves to be out in the mainstream

Yes you need a DAW to use the plug in as it is a Vst (or audio unit on the mac)
