Inner City Life by Goldie - 'The String Pad sound'

I would love that patch

Best wishes

Steve, jsten

I'd like a library of real instruments being tortured / extended teqnique type stuff. Violins, Cellos played with the back of the bow, multi samples of strings played at harmonics. Piano strings attacked with sand paper or rubbed with polystyrene and perhaps a set of tubular bells being hit by a small nail bomb.

Also a vocal pack. Operatic laments, chants and more drawn out phrases to use with the morphing side of Alchemy.

I'd like a soundbank of all strings--both plucked and bowed. I would buy that before I'd buy any of your other current soundbanks.

Also, +1 to the person above me. That'd be awesome.

When I first bought alchemy player 'after trying the trial version of the alchemy synthesizer' - I found this sound in the preset list that was like that out of a horror scenario...it was a layered soundscape that sounded like an old door creaking mixed in with a pad and another moving sound to provide a lot od suspense...however when i installed the player on my receptor the patch had vanished...can't for the life of me work out the name of what patch that was, anyone shed light?

Hi,

It's probably this preset by Jim Hunter:

Factory -> Loops -> Pandora's Box

The preset should be in the Alchemy Player Factory presets, or in the full version. If you can't find it, or if it's the wrong one let me know and I'll try again.

Peace,
Andy.

Hi Andy

Can't lie and say it wasn't there! I'm as blind as a bat! That's it! Thanks!!!!

I bought two soundsets so I was probably assuming it was in one of those.
Cheers

Im shore you guys can cook up any sound! My personal wish is at a different level, regarding the presets:

Consistency in the Perform page, on preset banks!

Id love to have pure, dedicated style banks. Leads only, or bass, or percussion only, etc. And have all the Perform parameters configured the same way.

This way, you could play through the whole bank, without looking at the screen.
Because some of us perform live on stage, or like to be separated from the computer screen at home.

Performance Banks.

Hi,

We're planning to add a preset browser with searching and tagging in a future update (probably v1.30). This will allow you to find all Leads, Basses or Pads (for example) across all sound libraries and then select from the list of presets using MIDI Program Change.

The general idea with the performance controls is that the controls are always mapped to similar parameters e.g. Perform Control 3 is always Filter Cutoff. This allows each preset to be controlled in a familiar way, and when combined with the preset searching you'll be pretty close to your ideal setup.

But, we will also consider performance oriented sound libraries for the future ... it's a good idea

Peace,
Andy.

How long before that's available? We're just on 1.20 and I've heard talk of a 1.25?? I'm lost..lol Anyhow sounds like a really important update to alot of us..eager to hear back,in the meantime,I'm gonna hold off buying any new sets,cuz I'd rather work with them as mentioned.

Hi,

v1.25 is the next release. We're going to start beta testing in the next few days. No release date yet, but possibly within a months time, maybe less.

Work on v1.30 is happening already, but we need to test and release v1.25 first. It is not possible to give any estimate of when v1.30 will be out, but we are all very keen to see the preset browser as it will make Alchemy MUCH easier to use

Peace,
Andy.

Indeed thanks Andy

I have now purchsed half of the OFFICIAL Alchemy banks available, I have also downloaded all of the USER patches, and purchased a number of 3rd party banks as well.

So that's an absolute shipload of PRESETS to try and somehow manage and remember.

Anyway, bring on v1.30 is all I can say.

Basic Vocal manipulation presets would be nice ... Like in your "Resynthesis" demo

Don't know if this has been mentioned, but a Moog bank would be great.

Only today I was looking for Moog sounds for a piece I'm doing.

It seemed to take ages, going through synths looking for "moogy" patches.

So an Alchemy Moog bank would be perfect.

All the core sounds of Moog - with all the flexible playability of Alchemy - in one convenient place.

Worth paying for.

The best 2 banks we have for that at the moment are Himalaya; Vintage and Ian Boddy: Analogica. Both contain sampled instruments of classic Moog synths. Since the banks cover other sounds as well, it won't have the depth you are looking for but might help.

Peace,
Andy.
