What I would like to see myself are some :

soundscape only preset library (I know we have the himalya pads pack out now and it does look and sound interesting).

An arps only preset library ranging from dark and dirty to nice and bright.

Space Music preset library

Dubstep and dirty electro librarys

I absolutely agree with this. I'd like to replace wusikstation with Alchemy because I like programming Alchemy better. Yet wusikstation's bread and butter presets currently beat Alchemy's.

Luftrum and Cinematic both have lots of soundscapes and bigger pads/fx sounds

yeah have both of those

I personally think that many bread and butter sounds is lying around.
I have many, but Camel Audio only except patches that meet their guidelines about remix pads and performance controllers wich really is time demanding to include in every patch.
That's a reason i have MANY patches lying wich isn't "finished" for publication and maybe never will.

I'm pretty shure that manu people is surfing through the patches with out trying the variations anyway, but i might be wrong.

But maybe i should make a "no variation bank" and see if anyone was interested.

My 5 cents

+1 for more "usable" sounds

I would love not to buy 'Garritan PO' simply because I don't really need formal orchestral sounds.

However. I would like some basic orchestral string and wind patches, followed up with impacts, winds, brass, the whole nine yards. that's layered with other Alchemy soundscapes and effects.

Wind chimes, nature, grainular noises. etc.

sections like

Small Orhestral ensembles: strings, cello, winds.
Larger Orchestral ensembles: strings, cello, winds, brass.
Impacts: timpany, cymbal crash, soft cymbal roll, larger impacts

Then the whole lot again, with alchemy inspired fusion. in avante garde/cinematic style.

I could do some of this myself, but I have to admit the basic Orchestral SFZ making, is frustrating in my limited capacity, the use of multi sampled and multi velocity key maping would be too much for my time. I would pay more than the usual £39.00 say £59.00 (I will pay what you ask of course.!) for a really cool and well laid out library.

A whole library of top notch drones... It seems that alchemy would be perfect for this...

For a lot of acoustic-ish sounds, I really don't care about the remix pads... I like the remix pads, but in some cases I would rather just have 4 separate presets than have those presets built into the remix pads and I have to go hunting to find them.

For winds and strings and brass etc I just want good sounds and am not planning generally on morphing them. I just want a good preset and I can tweak it how I want to adjust the sound if I wish. I'd buy such a bank assuming I liked the sounds and the lack of remix pads would not deter me at all.

Without question the number 1 thing I'm looking for is poly synth sounds that have a unique sound to them and can be played like a piano that has sustain. I know this sounds super broad but i can give an example out of the patches that have already been made for Alchemy. The "Rasta Funk" patch in the DanceTrance expansion is a great example of exactly what I'm looking for because it has the great playability of a piano sound BUT it has a very unique tonal characteristic. It sounds kinda organ like kinda rhodes like but not quite either. I'm not looking for one specific kind of tone but more patches that respond well to chordal and quick type playing (like a piano that can sustain if you want it to) like the Rasta Funk patch does. Any questions on my request lemme know! I'd absolutley love it if you guys did a whole expansion bank of poly synth type sounds..i think alchemy could really use that!!

I think a bank of Wavetable sounds might be good. Perhaps using the granular engine and its position knob along with custom oscillator wavs.

Maybe something like this already exists...?

I just checked out the new Cinematic (Atmos / Impacts) banks and had a thought:

I probably won't buy these banks, even though I generally buy lots of sounds and have bought several Alchemy expansions to date. The reason is, only a few of the sounds appeal to me,

BUT: why not sell patches individually? That way, it would be possible just to get the few you actually want. I'd be prepared to pay a little more for a specific sound, myself. You could credit the purchase towards the whole bank if bought at a later date.

This would answer the many requests for more affordable ways to buy sounds. Sort of like "iTunes for synth preset albums":

How about it?

You are not alone in thinking this is a good idea ... but I can't say any more than that

Peace,
Andy.

I have GPO (which I like a lot), but have been eying the ProjectSAM stuff. I'd love to have something along those lines for Alchemy.

As far as synths I actually program go, I only use 2 now: FM8 and Alchemy. Everything else is acoustic sample libraries--I'd love to be able to replace those with (or load them into) Alchemy.

@spidergod

I am working on Soundscapes only sound bank for Alchemy. In final stage already.
May be interesting for you.

Best,
Julian
