or offered the opportunity to expand you horizons with new and different tools.
 
yeah okay, your screwed.  so am I.
 
no Alchemy 2 unless ya get a Mac and Logic.

.....but, but, but, we still have Alchemy 1.5.......and it WORKS!! :)

The integration w/ EXS-24 will make this phenomenal. Considering how easy it is to create and manage sampler instruments in Logic, I see a whole world of possibilities. 
 
A Mac mini + Logic would actually make for a very nice, cost efficient instrument host/sampling solution even for people who prefer to work on a PC for their main DAW.

Apple buying it is old new.  This is new news.

I think Fog is rather pissed about the whole thing - $1000 will do that.  That is a large investment that can't move forward.
 
If wishes were fishes I'd hope that apple makes a full version for the iPad to use as a self-contained synth.  That wouldn't kill the pain but lay on some opiates.

VV, I haven't done it yet (haven't had a need to), but if you have the Camel installer software, there's an offline option to do so.
I also made backups of all my Camel stuff (in case I may need to re-install).
