I don't know how much use I would get out of camelspace, it looks incredible though, so just wondering what is out there that is similar for less or free.

Personally, I think CamelSpace IS super cheap at $85 considering how versatile it is. Audio Damage BigSeq2 covers some of CamelSpace's territory, but it's still $49.

Yeah I agree it is a good price, just I need to check, I'm not exactly well-informed regarding effects like this. Plus no $ doesn't help, maybe in the future I can get camelspace but not at this time, so something that does something similar would be nice to have in the meantime.

There was a deal around Xmas where CamelSpace and CamelPhat were like $40/each

Well, maybe its just a matter of waiting for a sale.

You could chain together a bunch of freeware. Like the bootsie chorus/echo, tal reverb, tal flanger, and a noise gate. Not sure if you would be able to modulate everything like you can in Camelspace though, you would have to rely on your hosts automation, like using track envelopes.

the only thing remotely like the functionality of CSpace is Adrenalinn Sync and it's still $100
I get that CSpace is a lot of money for you, braj
save-up your sheckels & take the plunge on the Camel - it's totally worth the cost of admission

Depending on what sounds you're after maybe my (sorry for self advertising) Reflex Pro could do the job.
It can partially do the same gating effects as Camel Space though it has a different approach and is not specially designed for that purpose at first hand. It's on sale rigth now. Just give teh demo a try.

CamelPhat and CamelSpace are both excellent plugins.
BigSeq2 is also amazing, but not as quick to set up as CamelSpace (BigSeq2 takes a bit more time to tweak).
You can also try Truc2, which is a multi-FX (with delay, filter, granulizer and ring/autopan) and 2 XY pads for quick & easy modulation :

(It costs only 24$)

I was in a similar boat a while back and tried various things. In the end I just bought CamelSpace and haven't looked back since! I'd hang on for another sale (which was when I bought mine).

Another +1 for Reflex Pro.
braj - Mon Apr 02, 2012 5:02 am
So far I'm not seeing anything with the step sequencers like Camelspace (a big part of what I want), I guess I'll wait for a sale, thanks everyone.

+1 for saving and waiting until you can get Camelspace.
braj - Mon Apr 02, 2012 10:30 am
Yeah, I'm actually getting a lot of what I was looking for except the step sequencer bits from my trusty PodFarm plug, sometimes I forget how many decent effects it has and that it works on any tracks, not just guitars. I'll wait for a sale, hopefully I have the cash when the time comes.

Seriously, you might want to download some of their freebies and try 'em anyway. I can speak from personal experience that, every once in awhile, they just stick some Camel Credits in your account, and that -- combined with a sale or coupon deal -- is A Very Good Thing.

tried to emulate camelspace with a chain of effects before and it just wasn't working. I ended up buying it in the marketplace for like $50. if you're a student, they do discounts as well.

I'm a big fan of freeware and try to make the most out of it also, but CamelSpace is definitely worth the price!
I put off getting it for quite a long time, but a student discount and Camel Credits helped bring the price down to next to nothing and I was sold
At first glance it seems like a rather dated/basic tool but the sound quality is outstanding! Very subtle use of the SoftSat and Reverb bring character and body to anything you throw at it =)

You could also try DiversionFX CM which comes with the Computer Music magazine

Sensomusic Usine has lots of different sequencer modules available so you could have a go at making something similar yourself

And then there is AnarchyRhythms. It can be used as a sort of trance-gate with lots of options, not the same but (with a sequencer too)..

It shouldn't be, it just came out last month afaik. :/
This thread made me get into Reflex Pro. It's really like a mirror image of camelspace: Where Camelspace focuses on step sequenced filters, Reflex Pro focuses on routing and delay. They both cover the whole spectrum, but Camelspace is more at home in that gated filter groove corner while Reflex is more in the evolving ambient vibe. The current sale price is a steal IMO, full price will put it up on almost the same level as Camelspace. Give it a try if you haven't. The only thing missing are freely configurable step sequences (you get a number of pre-fabs that you can mirror, shift and stretch), but you get RMS triggering and routing instead.

Dr Device can do some nice things too.

Some freewares that might be interesting apart form the already mentioned AnarchyRhythms are Kitchen Sync, ReSynFX, Truc, Charsiesis, Scuzzphut6v2, Wave Mechanic.
For pure gaters there are Probagate, mTriggerGate.

...and you get an additional "gate alike" envelope on the LFOs which moves Reflex Pro a bit further towards CamelSpace typical gate effects included in the next update which i hopefully can release the next couple of days.
