Today I distributed the first update for one of my Alchemy soundsets: Warped Strings.
Some of you might already have downloaded and installed the latest Beta version of Alchemy which is available to Alchemy customers via their Camel Audio support account.
In Alchemy 1.50 a new Preset Browser is introduced, this also means that the subcategories I added to all my Alchemy soundsets do not exist anymore (which I regret a lot).
Alchemist losan - who some of you will know from the KVR and NI forums - was so incredibly kind to tag all the presets from Warped Strings, as I am useless at this, I can't work with tags and keywords to find my sounds to be honest and I only use my own stuff anyway. losan also added some short descriptions and playing tips from my pdf file.
You can now browse through your presets using keywords for articulations, timbre or type in the sounddesigner you're looking for - so type in e.g. "Simon Stockhausen" in the search field and all my presets will appear. Or browse by Sound Library to see all presets from Warped Strings in one list.
Please note: These presets will only work with the current Beta version, not with any former version of Alchemy, so if you're still using the release version (1.25) don't install these new presets.
The download folder only contains the acp and aaz-files not the samples, you don't need to re-install the samples only the new presets. After unzipping the file you downloaded, place the contained folder "Warped Strings" here and substitute the existing folder:
Mac: HD(not user)/Library/Application Support/Camel Audio/Alchemy/Presets
Windows: PathToDataDirectory/Alchemy.data/Presets/
Then use the function "Scan for New Presets" from the File Menue and you'll be ready to go and make full use of the new browsing system.
More updates for my other soundsets will follow.
I sent a mail to all Warped Strings customers, I hope I don't get too many bounces.
