I have and the only exception to that setting seems to be Alchemy sadly.martinjuenke wrote: ↑Thu Mar 23, 2023 7:23 pmAFAIK you can change the mouse behaviour in the General Settings of a Mac.

I've tried puttering around with Alchemy time to time since it came to Logic and damn if a synth could make me feel like an idiot it's this one. Zillions of controls to the point where I had trouble even groking the signal flow, and a gigantic decision space to where I don't know where to start making a sound do what I'm wanting it to.
Do folks think maybe PIgments has largely encroached upon Alchemy's soundspace, maybe not precisely but mostly overlapping? I found Pigments to be a lot more intuitive.

Pigments has an easier workflow. Even so, I would for sure take Alchemy as a synth over Pigments. Alchemy is massively capable. I also like how it sounds better overall. Plus of course if you are using Logic, it is no added cost.dumbledog wrote: ↑Thu Mar 23, 2023 8:57 pm I've tried puttering around with Alchemy time to time since it came to Logic and damn if a synth could make me feel like an idiot it's this one.

When I first opened it up a couple years ago, it hated how thin it sounded. Then I remembered that Apple was trying to cater to EDM producers and that if you use Alchemy over a four on the floor kick drum it sits well in the mix.
I didn't open it again for a long time until I had to do a holiday album last year and I found an amazing preset with an arpeggiator that was programmed to do 5/4 patterns in 16ths across the barlines in 4/4. Got a lot of comments on that one. Haven't opened again since last Oct. Maybe it doesn't sound so thin anymore....

I've always felt Alchemy had a lot of potential to fit into my workflow... but sadly it never "clicked" with me. As well as that, I've shifted to REAPER in the past year so I don't get to use it much anyway. Still got some amazing functions and presets though.

Yeah but Sylenth is just boring compared to Alchemy

these comparisons are generally ridiculous; sylenth1 and alchemy are nothing alike, and both do what they do well.

I’m on an Apple Studio Display and in places it is definitely blurry when over 100% scaling- not hideously but it could be a lot better
