Camel Audio has announced the release of the Alchemy Factory Presets & Samples Bonus 3 update for the Alchemy synthesizer.

Alchemy Factory Bonus 3 offers over 1GB of new samples. Acoustic instruments are a major feature of this latest collection, including a grand piano, baroque lute, cimbalom, autoharp, and hammered dulcimer, plus delicate meditation bowls and crystal glasses. There are also loads of dramatic one-shot hits, sweeps, and crashes, war drums, tabla loops, and bowed cymbal effects. Some of the new samples were licensed from the sample library developer, Bolder Sounds.

Electric instruments haven't been forgotten either, with new transistor and tonebar organs, and over 50 new multi-sampled basses featuring plenty of attitude from low and aggressive to rich and fruity. With soundscapes ranging from sci-fi drones to lush washes, fifteen new classic lead and pad synths, and even a bionic choir, Factory Bonus 3 contains rich pickings for the creative Alchemy user, and includes a selection of 29 presets showcasing the new samples.

This is a free update to all registered Alchemy users, and is available from the Camel Audio website.
