Spectrasonics acquiring Camel Audio for $42 million

Spectrasonics today announced the acquisition of Camel Audio, the company behind the popular Alchemy synthesizer. Both Spectrasonics and Camel Audio confirmed the company paid $42 million for the franchise in a deal expected to close in early 2015.

Spectrasonics bought Camel Audio following the success of products such as the popular Alchemy synthesizer and Camel Space. Though its interests are as well focused on developing a new version of its Omnisphere power synth with capabilities known from Alchemy, the main reason behind the acquisition is to end the never ending "Omnisphere vs. Alchemy" discussions on forums such as KVR Audio.

"We're just tired of reading the same arguments in favor of Omnisphere or Alchemy over and over again, so we thought 'What the heck, we're just gonna buy Camel Audio and make a new Super Power Synth.' ", said Eric Persing, founder and CEO of Spectrasonics.

The new version of Omnisphere with Alchemy's abilities is set to arrive at the end of 2015.
Can't follow that.

Best post ever!

Did anyone mention propellerhead yet, that is, assuming it is a buyout. Seems they'd have a lot to gain from it. A new flagship synth, and if they are able to get it working efficiently as a rack extension, that would make a strong statement about the future of RE's. They could also sell all those libraries as refills.

It might have been Yamaha, they might want to make a hardware version of Alchemy...

Or native instruments, an other wheel on the wagon of Komplete 11, or whatever, i dont really care that much, except for.....


In the end, for me the only thing important is that Alchemy stays alive...

Basically its one of the 4 synths i use on top of komplete 10
alchemy, omnispehere, Blue2 and Pianoteq...

Surprising development...

Ben's spending his Camel proceeds on a hair transplant fashioned after Richard Branson. Early days.
