A quick reminder: this is the last day (July 7, 2015) for owners of Alchemy to back-up their purchases and other downloads from the Camel Audio site. Alchemy was bought by Apple back in January, so this is particularly important for those of us on the PC platform who use it. As there is not either any word as to what, if anything, is coming out on the Mac platform, it probably is not a bad idea for Mac users of Alchemy (if any are here) to also re-download their files. 
 
Fare thee well, Alchemy; thou shalt be missed.

 
In the spirit of FWIW,

I too AM very sad to see Camel Audio dissolve..........Alchemy is still my goto synth. Hopefully I can make it home in time to download the last library I bought today (it's already in my account, but hoping the server will be up to DL).

Yes, it just had that niche for me: beautiful pads, but often a bit eerie. And I loved that. I'm going to have to work to get that from some other synths, but I doubt that only one will cover that as well.

I could not live without CamelSpace. It must never go away.

Quite sad that such a good product bit the dust...

We can hope that Apple has mercy on us poor, down-trodden PC users who aren't hip enough to continually wear black turtlenecks and, when they finally get around to releasing Alchemy II and CamelSpace II (or whatever they will be called), decide in their benevolence to release a PC version of those as well.
 
I hope also to win the PowerBall lottery this week....

Hey Mesh:
 
Did you get home in time to DL your last library?

 It bit the dust for $4M going to the developers.  It will be part of Logic and I wonder what it's future for iPad. People should remember it is a synth and not a rompler.

Hi Dan,
Yes I did!!
It was a bit late in the evening (around 7pm Eastern time) and when I clicked on the installer to update the 1 library, it took a good 30-45 secs for it to actually start (which gave me a sad face......but, then was very happy when it started to install).
 
I really wanted to get the following libraries, but couldn't find a seller....
Guitar Mutations
Shlomo Beatbox
Viral Outbreak
Analogica
 
Still, I'm fortunate & happy I was able to get a bunch of others.
I too am hoping that Apple provides an update for us Windows users, but will keep playing the Lotto as well.

I'm thinking we will be hearing sounds from "Shlomo Beatbox" as ringtones in the next iPhone.
