Get the signature sounds of Alchemy without having to create your own presets, with Camel Audio Alchemy Player ($59). Included free with a purchase of any Alchemy soundbank, Alchemy Player turns each of those banks into a fully standalone instrument.

Taken from the original Alchemy factory library, Alchemy Player includes 150 presets and 360 MB of evolving soundscapes, lush pads, and pulsing arpeggio samples.

The Player features the same advanced sample manipulation engine as Alchemy, plus additive, spectral, granular, sampling, and VA synthesis capabilities. It's controlled via a simple, compact interface with 16 performance controls for real-time tweaking and automation. The remix pad makes it possible to morph between eight different variations by clicking and dragging, and all presets are arranged by product and category for quick access to sounds.

You can upgrade to the full version of Alchemy at any time and gain 600 presets and a 3 GB sample library and more, for an additional $199.

Until March 31, 2010, Camel Audio is also offering 20 percent off all soundbanks once you have one bank in your order basket. For more information, please visit camelaudio.com.
