FRANK Water is a charity which funds sustainable clean water projects in developing countries across the world. The small team of field workers and researchers provides communities with safe, clean water, removing both chemical and biological contaminants that cause disease. The projects are community owned and run, with a priority on community ownership, education and longevity.
In a world where more than 4,000 children die every day from a lack of clean drinking water, it’s clear that help is urgently needed. We're proud to be able to partner with FRANK Water and our customers to help be a small part of the solution.

This is a really beautiful sound library. And it is for a great cause too. Pay what you want for this. I am going to pay them the normal price because it is just so bloody amazing.I like Alchemy a lot. You can do a lot with it and it has real power behind it too.
 
All their libraries are superb and the variations with the mix pads alone are ridiculous. This instrument just sounds so good all the time. It is one of the few synths you actually really need.
 
Highly recommended.

+1 Jeff.
 
Every once in awhile, Camel has been doing these charitable events while attaching great sounding music libraries and it certainly makes a very good impression on me. I joined Camel Audio when Planet Earth was released with a "Pay what you want" system and thought wow, "these are good sounds and to boot, a company with a good cause"........I'm in.

I've been thinking of getting the full Alchemy and using it exclusively as as my only synth.  It's gorgeous and these days fewer choices = more creativity and efficiency.

You should go for it!! That's my go to synth.....a lot of the time I end up just playing around with the huge/PHAT sounds it produces and forget what I originally came to do. You can get some good deals (used) for Alchemy on KVR (when available) as the seller will (sometimes) throw in a few libraries with the sale. (I got mine that way). :)

One additional wrinkle here (picked up from KVR).  Evidently, if you pay at least $30 (or like amounts of pounds, euros) you get a bunch of extra water sounds - no extra presets that use them, but for use in roll-your-own presets.

I get out this soapbox every chance I get, because I love good documentation.  Alchemy has the best documentation of any synth I own.  It's comprehensive and clear, all the more remarkable because Alchemy is also one of the deepest instruments in my collection.  Bravo, Camel Audio!

I am rapidly becoming an Alchemy only type myself. I'll still use some of the older emulations (heck, I'll still use hardware if I am really motivated<G>), but Alchemy is so flexible that it is quickly replacing all the rest of my super-flexible modern software synthesizers.
 
Since every rule needs an exception, I still have not let go of Tassman... this came as a limited version with some very old version of Sonar - maybe 2 or 3. It was an awful pig, and yet you could tell there was something there... in between crashes<G>! I upgraded to the full version of Tassman 3 on a lark, and I now use Tassman 4 for a lot of sound design work.
 
The big difference, for me, is that I was able to jump in and create sounds in Alchemy almost immediately, while I still feel like a beginner with Tassman.

With respect to the Alchemy libraries, I have several, sadly I never seem to know about the sales, and it's tempting to low-ball them on this one, but I probably won't.
