Camel Audio has launched a time-limited special offer: Buy any Alchemy Sound Library and get another absolutely free. This offer is valid until March 31, 2013. What's more, their Taste of Camel library is included with all new orders.

Too good to pass up. Thanks! Off to explore. I would appreciate any and all recommendations for choices  - 
Have:
Dream Voices, Shlomo Beatbox, BioLabs Light Spaces, and BioLabs Dark Spaces plus a few 3rd party sets not purchased through Camel.

Good info Jeff, thanks for the headsup. 

Just been listening to the demos and watched the video on Camel Audio's site. Very cool, Alchemy could easily become my favorite vsti. Money is tight, so I'll hold off till later this year.  

You know, given that Sampletank3 has been so long awaited and still not here, I am really considering getting the full version of Alchemy.  I have been playing with the Alchemy player and found out that in the player you can activate a fully function full version of Alchemy for 4 weeks.  I have been experimenting with the full demo and watching the Groove3 video.  I like Alchemy.  I had been saving for NI's K9, but given it has had a price increase with no real new products, I may just jump on the Alchemy bandwagon.  It along with Kontakt should suffice to solve my GAS attack.  I know it is a sample based synth, but it is so easy to use and inspires creativity.

Thanks for posting this about the Taste of Camel and about the buy one get one free deal on their sound packs.  That looks like a good deal to me.

BigTone's bank is excellent.  I'd look into getting that one.  It's the favorite of the ones that I own (I also own Guitar Mutations, Planet Earth, and Atmospheric).  I'm contemplating Himalaya Vintage, Ian Boddy Analogica, and Junkie XL.  

What's your thoughts on Dream Voices?  I was looking at that one but I wasn't sure how versatile it would be.

Thanks for the feedback. All seem like great possibilities. I like Dream Voices a lot - but it's very 'abstract'. There are relatively few presets where the human voices are discernible as such. Definitely not a choir or ensemble type soundset at all. Think pads, textures and even percussion with 'something' unique about them. Ghost-like, dreamy etc. 
Many thanks for the info and good luck with your own hunt - 

For those still undecided and considering their options, I just opted for Steamworx and Guitar Mutations. I just finished downloading and will play and post my impressions after I've given them a whirl.

Man - Steamworx is absolutely outstanding. Martin Walker is a sound design genius. I own his Kitnetix soundset for Chromaphone, and he makes an appearance in Dream Voices (Alchemy) and other soundsets as well. But Steamworx.......... is.......... stunning.

Well Brando thanks for the tip. I decided to go for the two for one deal and bought Steamworx on your recommendation and man I LOVE IT!!!!! OMG!

I have got a decent collection of ambient pads and things and thought rather than getting another one I decided to go for Steamworx too. You see having a Taste of Camel already pointed me to the fact that library would be serious and it is! 

What I also like is all the one shot sounds you have too. Although the grooves are amazing it is very cool to get into your own. The mix pads though serve up endless variations on the grooves which is quite incredible.

I also got Biolabs Dark Space as the free one and it is amazing too. Very cool. I am right into Arp Dimensions though I must admit. There are some serious arp presets in that library.

Alchemy has to be one of the best sounding things on the planet, every time I hear it and play it I think that. 

Hi Jeff - 
Glad you are also enjoying Steamworx. Selecting a soundset can be very subjective, so I was a bit concerned that someone might go by my recommendation and feel differently about the set. 
As you pointed out - I think Martin has done a great job of using the remix pads to full advantage - and the sounds tend to compliment each other so well from pad to pad.
