This is old new by now, but I have not seen a post here about it so I am posting.
Camel Audio, makers of Alchemy, are going out of business.

Re: a sad loss
Sad indeed. I never used their synths, but use Camelphat and Camelspace and find them to be the most versatile plug-ins I have. I sometimes demo plug-ins and think their pretty good, then I always think, "but heck, I can do that already in Camelspace/Camelphat" So they have saved me a lot of money over the years.

Re: a sad loss
I heard about this a couple of months ago - I use the Alchemy player as my soundbank player (although Plogue sforzando is pretty good). I also have their iPad synth which is great.
The Alchemy player is still available as one of the programs available each month with Computer Music magazine which is £2-50 as a digital download, well worth it.
Just as an addition for those people that have purchased stuff from Camel they can re-download their files through to July - after that they will be closing down their servers. The recommendation is to download all of your stuff now and archive locally.
I had also heard that Apple have bought them out.
Who can not love a synth that has as one of its presets something called "A forest Gnome Dancing" !
But yes - a very sad loss.
Cheers

Re: a sad loss
I just discovered this synth (Alchemy) in resurrecting this thread. It seems as it was/is a fantastic synth and unfortunately was bought out by Apple. What I want to ask the MC community is if anyone knows where I may download sound banks and presets for Alchemy Synth? As popular as it was, I imagine there's downloadable content out there somewhere.
That is all.

Re: a sad loss
My guess is Apple want Camelphat and Camelspace for Logic Pro. Probably Alchemy too.
That means it'll go bye bye on the PC. Bummer.
