Alchemy is able create different types of sounds for the many genres. Going through the audio demos on Camelaudio's website would give an idea of the possibilities of your design efforts.
I mostly use Alchemy to load up my old samples from recordings, SFZ and bring them to life again with new effects and sample manipulation. The ability to load designed waveforms has been useful in changing the behaviour of LFOs and stacking new sounds with interesting harmonic content.
Presets installed to the proper location will show up in the preset browser after scanning for new presets (on the Alchemy File menu). If you need info about where presets are found, the best thing to do is contact support [at] camelaudio [dot] com with some details about which OS + host you are using.
does anyone have news about an AAX64 plugin format update for Alchemy (and i.e. other Camelaudio products)? I assume there are many Alchemy / Camelaudio users out hardly awaiting an AAX64 version for Pro Tools 11 as Camelaudio's products are some of the last which are not still ported to AAX64 / Pro Tools 11.
The problem is that i don't have the installer from Camelaudio anymore, with which i could install the .Camelsound libraries. I only have the .Camelsound files.So i am abit confused about where to place these .Camelsound libraries manually on my drive, so Logic's Alchemy sees them.
I'm not sure the exact format of the .camelsounds archive files. What others have said here is accurate: The preset and sample files must be extracted. The archive tool that worked for me is called B1 Free Archiver, and it is available at
I've used utilities before where you wait a few seconds while the picture you've imported or drawn is converted to audio format, and advanced sonogram editing in applications such as Wavelab 6, but never before have I been able to play sounds polyphonically on a keyboard while drawing them in a Spectral window. Wicked!
Audio Alchemy was a high end audio equipment manufacturer based in California, USA. The company was first formed in the late 1980s, producing many lines of relatively affordable audio products, including CD players, transports, digital audio processors, and amplifiers. It went out of business in the late 1990s, was briefly relaunched in the early 2000s as Alchemy2, then was relaunched under the original Audio Alchemy name in early 2015 with a new line of higher-quality, full-featured audio products.[1] On October 6, 2016 Audio Alchemy was acquired by Elac.[2][3]
Audio Alchemy products make innovative use of the IS audio interface, usually reserved for the internal connection between the CD transport and DAC of a CD player. Audio Alchemy brought the interface out to a DIN connector, allowing a very low jitter connection between the CD transport and external DAC, by transmitting the clock signal and the audio signal in parallel. This offers a superior alternative connectivity method to something like S/PDIF, which sees the clock signal embedded into the audio signal. The process of extracting the clock signal from the data stream is where jitter is introduced[citation needed]. This interface is used in several original Audio Alchemy products and in the relaunched company's products. Perpetual Technologies and Camelot Technology also produce products that use the IS interface.
The BR-80 also features a user interface based on the company's BR series recorders and a graphical design based on a conventional recording console. Equalization, reverberation, mastering tools, Roland's Composite Object Sound Modeling amplifiers, and effects for guitar, bass, and vocals are also included. The recorder can be used as a USB audio interface. SONAR X1 LE is included with purchase. It can be powered by USB, by AC adaptor (not included in purchase), or by two rechargeable Ni-MH AA batteries. The recorder weighs 140 g and measures 138 86 22 mm.
The DP-03 is TASCAM's latest multi-track recorder in the Portastudio range. It is an eight-track digital recorder that saves audio to SD/SDHC cards and includes a CD burner (see Figure 2). The DP-03 has a built-in pair of stereo condenser microphones in the front panel but also includes two XLR inputs with phantom power. Stereo 1/4-in. line inputs are also included, with an instrument-level switch for use with guitars. Audio can be imported from CD, computer, or other device through a USB 2.0 input. Two of the eight tracks can be simultaneously recorded. Basic editing functions copy, paste, silence, clone track, and undo are available. A tuner and metronome are included. All eight tracks can be bounced down to one or two tracks. Each track has a 45-mm fader, pan knob, two-band shelving equalizer, and a stereo reverberation processor send. Multi-band mastering effects are also available.
The R8 from Zoom is a recorder, audio interface, controller, and sampler in [End Page 106] one and is a scaled-down version of the company's R24 recorder (see Figure 3). As well as functioning as an eight-track recorder and audio interface, the R8 can be used as a control surface for a DAW and includes a sampler with drum pads and a drum machine.
