Camel Audio Cameleon 5000

This is a BIG synth. The evolvong textures which this synth is known for have to be some of the most beautiful sounds you will ever get out of your computer.
You can tell that a lot of thought and energy as well as a lot of love for the generation of music has driven the design and execution of this software,
I have found that some of the ideas and concepts I have wanted to have in my music is very attainable with the Cameleon5000.
The ability to create new presets is a given with any good synth. The abiltiy to create new soundworlds with a softsynth is under the sole ownership of the Cameleon5K.
You DO have to read the manual. Again you DO have to read the manual. If you wnat to get a good handle on the intricacies of this product. It isn't difficult but the nuances you will need to create your sound are covered there.
Excellent product, excellent output. Not much else to say. It's that good.
The documentation is well put together. But I do think it could be expanded on somewhat. A little more explanation of the use of images in Cameleon as well as the creation of evolution pathing would not be amiss here. It is understandable to those who have mucked about in this area previously but for the newcomer may leave them with some questions.
Is it worth the money? YES it is. Go for it you will not be disappointed.
