"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

Whoops wrong area

[TonyMiller]

We got a comp page yet?

[Amadeus]

Upload page up now - will PM everyone the upload details this morning! If you don't receive anything today and still want to take part just send me a PM and I'll get the details out to you.
Thanks,
A


PS - plenty of time to get something together, even if it means dropping in some Camel Audio plugins on top of an older track! We need to get as many uploads as possible to get more sponsored competitions going.

[T-Bone]

I've spent a while today working on my entry but everytime I try to load the alchemy vsti my entire system freezes. I've installed, reinstalled countless times but makes no difference, it just keeps crashing.

So, to be quite frank, as far as I'm concerned its a piece of shit, I've wasted money and Camel Audio can suck me off until they're blue in the face. They'll never get another penny out of me and they can shove their competition right up their shitter.

[Amadeus]

Hey T-Bone, I got installed on my system no problem but I'm using 32 bit XP Pro. No idea why it's crashing your pc, the only thing I can suggest is you check with their support forum. I had a look around there and it doesn't seem to be a regularly reported issue - could have something to do with the other software you have installed and/or the 64 bit system (although it is supposed to be 64 bit friendly).

Re the comp itself, bit of a disaster with the timing,,, as some of you have pointed out Camel Audio have finished their promotion and changed their website. However, we can still sort something out so if you are still interested in getting the software - send me a PM and I will get back to you with the information.

Sorry about this guys.

Is this some sort of strategy? Waiting till the last minute. Or did Pete, Tony, FXMAN, Geiger167 (Mr. Bell to me) and TeddZ scare everybody away with their musical prowess????

Just to show I have a set of huevos (or orvarios for the ladies), and don't mind getting embarrassed, I will volunteer to put something together and get it posted. Just need a logon before the end of time Mr. A.....
