Camel Audio выпустили новый виртуальный синтезатор “Alchemy”. В нём
используются аддитивный, спектральный и гранулярный типы синтеза,
сэмплирование и моделирование аналогового синтеза звука. Сэмплы могут
быть импортированы в форматах SFZ, WAV или AIFF.

Четыре
источника стерео сигнала, для каждого из которых можно выбрать один из
типов (виртуальный аналог, аддитивный, гранулярный или спектральный
синтез, сэмплы) могут гибким образом модулироваться. Также между
источникам возможен морфинг. Эффекты, фильтры, арпеджиатор и многое
другое – подробную спецификацию можно прочесть на страничке Алхимии.

Sounds
300
presets covering everything from pads and soundscapes to keys, basses
and leads designed by many of the worlds top sound designers including
Junkie XL, John 'Skippy' Lehmkuhl, Ian Boddy, Richard Devine, Arksun,
Michael Kastrup, Beej, Xenox, Tasmodia, Jim Hunter, Antonio Blanca,
Torben Hansen, Paul Nauert, Christian Kjeldsen, Rory Dow, Artvera,
Bryan 'Xenos' Lee, Pendle, Dangerous Bear, Biomechanoid and Tim
Conrardy
over 2GB of samples and analysed content from
in-house designers Tim Conrardy and Biomechanoid, as well as designers
such as Ian Boddy, Robert Rich, Scott Solida and Nucleus SoundLab
many
years of dedicated sampling sessions of both unusual creative material
such as the sound of chewing polystyrene to more conventional sampling
of numerous acoustic instruments and voices, including a chamber choir
advanced resynthesis engines help keep the library small, reducing the need for a huge disk-straining sample library
samples are provided in open industry standard formats as SFZ and WAV files
intelligent random preset generation
add-on preset banks in development

Performance Controls
16 controls per preset carefully assigned by the preset designer, for instant access to each presets most tweakable parameters
8 remix pad variations per preset - click and drag to morph between variations
two XY squares
unique 'auto assign' feature to assign a full set of performance controls with two clicks

Morphable Sources
4 stereo sources each of which has additive, VA, spectral, granular and sampler engines
morph between sources using advanced harmonic blending and precise time alignment
crossfade between sounds with vector mixing
modulatable stretch and position knobs for anything from tempo synced loops to wavesequencing
up to 100 zones per source using any synthesis method
easy to use file import browser with sample preview
micro tuning support with comprehensive categorized library of scales
highly optimized code including SSE and Altivec optimizations

Analog Filters
up to 15 simultaneous filters
31
different filter types including 18 analog modelled filters, 2 comb
filters, 3 CamelPhat distortion algorithms and polyphonic ring
modulation
each source can be mixed between 2 parallel main filters each of which has an effects mix control
3
filters per source configurable between serial and parallel modes;
applications include formant filtering with free control over the
frequency and bandwidth of each formant

16 Effects
camel
reverb, acoustic reverb, 2 delays, 2 mod fx (each capable of flanger
and chorus effects), 2 distortions (each has bit crusher, tube, mech
and xcita effects), bass enhancer, compressor, multi mode filter, 2
bandpass filters and band reject mixers, 2 three band EQs, panner and
amplifier
all of the CamelSpace and CamelPhat effects included
virtually all effects parameters are modulatable
acoustic reverb with detailed control of time, damping and room design
up to five effects blocks can be applied in any order
flexible delay featuring two filter slots, crossover, offset and initial delay controls
band
pass filters and associated band reject mixers allow you to apply
effects to specific frequency ranges for effects such as multiband
distortion

Groove Arpeggiator
separate control of the velocity, pitch and pan of each note
midi file import for drum patterns and melodies
'groove import' to synchronize to a particular drum pattern
wide variety of modes including up, down, up/down, down/up, as played, random and chord
many
parameters including multiple latch modes, key splits, played key
velocity control, octave and source controllable from the modulation
system
ability to control one source or all four
up to 128 steps

Additive Synthesizer
very high quality analysis and resynthesis - import vocal phrases, drum loops, ...
up to 600 stereo oscillators
realtime
modulation of amplitude, pitch and pan spectrums by any modulator - for
example, control the odd/even harmonic balance, pan partials using
LFOs, stretch or contract the harmonic spectrum and lots more
individual amplitude, pitch and pan envelopes for each partial
easy to use additive editor with unique detail knob to simplify sounds for editing

Virtual Analog Synthesizer
PWM and symmetry control
initial phase control
up to 600 oscillator unison with pitch, amp and pan control of unison oscillators
large library of single cycle waveforms from classic synths to new designs by Galbanum

Spectral Synthesizer
phase vocoder analysis for high quality pitch and time stretching
noise resynthesis mode using 256 band noise shaping
advanced graphical sonogram editing - choose from a range of brushes and select the colour and opacity
graphical spectral cut, copy and paste - cut or copy and paste specific frequency and time regions

Granular Synthesizer
sampler or granular playback modes
freely modulatable parameters including grain size, density (up to 10 simultaneous grains), random grain time and random pan
selectable and customizable granular window shapes

Flexible Modulation
up to 16 LFOs, 16 AHDSRs, 16 MSEGs, 16 step sequencers - only those you use are displayed
virtually
every knob is modulatable by up to five different modulators (including
modulation-depth knobs, modulator parameters...)
advanced
mod-map feature for anything from drawing custom velocity curves to
creating algorithmic random note in a scale effects
xy-mseg shows you a vector style view of two parameters such as morph x and y position, with ability to import xy timelines
per destination 'smooth' control
modulation arcs intuitively show the range of modulation
