Camel Audio is Dead, Long Live Alchemy PT. 1

You already know Camel Audio sold out, I will spare you my 2 cents on it. The purpose of this series of posts are to"revivify" the free libraries (license free ones of course, you will never find premium or 3rd party pay libraries here) and utilities for Alchemy that were uploaded by Alchemy users to the user area on the Camel website. The user area was deleted earlier this year when Camel Audio decided to sell out.

Sadly I never backed up the user libraries, except for the utilities.

Lets talk the utilities first, Wav2Alchemy, Addulator, and Alchemy Sample loader.

I just checked the "read me" files regarding redistribution of them, keeping in mind these were never owned, created, or licensed by Camel Audio. Addulator is the only that mentions redisribution and it's ok as long as it's source code doesnt end up in a commercial product. Addulator is a sound generator which outputs files that can be loaded into Alchemies Additive Synth engine.

If I do post the other 2 utilities, I will double check with the authors before any redistributing.

Below is the download link for Addulator:

D16 PLASTICLICKS

$89 usd AND WORTH IT... Products pages demo audio samples are good but do this sample set NO justice. Its really good for techno/minimal insert your electronic genre here ... however I must add despite being very techy and beepy its not what your gonna find in those commercial electrohouse libraries that come a dime a dozen these days, which is a good thing, very original content.

XferRecords Nerve

Before I go further I want to say I'm not gonna tell you about what it does, cause you can read that on Xfer Records Nerve webpage and view Steve Duda's instructional vids on youtube. Chances are if you read this far you already have.

For me, the magic happens with the randomize shortcuts. Ctrl + click < or > will randomize any sample in the selected folder. Ctrl + Alt + click will randomize the sample in all of the folders.. resulting in some wild patterns.

Second, this feature is not even marketed but is SOOO kick ass for people who work with HUGE sample libraries. < and > buttons on each sample folder...that's right no menu diving to select individual samples...fly through the folders..huge work-flow enhancement...only thing close to this is Propellerheads Redrum and some freeware drum machine that never worked called Tatapoum.

The factory content is great...very housey, clubby, and plenty of Richard Devine-ish abstraction for you IDM hipster nerds.

$199.00 USD and worth every penny... you can get em on KVR a lil cheaper in the marketplace. BUY IT I SAY!

ZOMFGBBW SWARM OF WOGGLEBUGS!!!!!!!

I will let the video do the talking on this one...sheer beauty I find this...scary...

Goldbaby - When Alien Drum RObots Attack

Goldbabies "When ALien Drum Robots Attack", best $39 I've spent in a while. Go grab it here and be sure to visit their free page with a ton of useful samples here.
THere is nothing bad this company puts out. I've customized a Drum Rack in ABleton and will be posting vids with this sample set. TOtally unique stuff in this library, fine audio quality. NOt your everyday squirps, blips and electro house squips that everyone is using but will have no problem fitting in that genre or any electronic genre for that matter.

Radias Electro samples

I know their digital..stop whining and download them...their good...real good.
