Alchemy Synth Mobile - Camel Audio

"Turn your iPhone/iPad into a powerful synthesizer! Alchemy Mobile includes everything from evolving soundscapes and fat bases to lush pads and pulsing arpeggios. This is the iOS version of Camel Audio's award-winning Alchemy synth - the leading sample manipulation synthesizer which can be heard on thousands of records and films by world-class artists.

Discover an almost limitless palette of sounds using the unique remix pad to morph between sound variations. 16 controls including cutoff, resonance, ADSR and effects parameters are specially selected for each preset to make tweaking sounds to fit your music easier than ever.

The Alchemy Mobile interface was designed with ease of use in mind. You can play the mini keyboard built into the app, which features scalable key size and one touch major and minor keys so even the clumsiest fingers can play along with friends. You can also plug in an external Core MIDI keyboard.

Using Alchemy with other apps like NanoStudio and Garageband is easy, thanks to the included loop player. Simply paste a loop from your sequencer into Alchemy Player, hit record, and play in your killer bass part, and then paste the resulting loop back into the sequencer. Alchemy Player is the first iPhone app to feature exposé, which makes switching between pages a breeze.

Want to know why Alchemy Mobile has such amazing sounds which can change so drastically with a tap of the remix pad? The performance controls and remix pad are linked to the most powerful synthesis engine on iOS, which allows you to morph and change the sound in radical ways not possible with any other synth. Alchemy's VA synth, sampler and granular and additive resynthesis, combined with almost unlimited modulation sources, effects and a flexible arpeggiator are used to power this expressive way of creating new sounds for your music.

The free version of Alchemy Mobile includes 25 sounds, with a further 25 available when you register for free with Camel Audio. You can expand Alchemy Mobile with a wide range of sound libraries such as BigTone, Cinematic and Arp Dimensions from world class sound designers. The libraries each contain 50 sounds (400 variations) and are available as in-app purchases.

Alchemy is programmed to make the most of your device, so the more recent your model the higher the polyphony and the lower the latency.

M-Z3R0 - circuit bent casio SA-8 with embedded K2 filter


YouTube Uploaded by manufacturedZ3R0 on Sep 26, 2011

"Hooked up with a tiny diy smd K filter circuit, lfo and ltc1799 pitch control. Let the video run, there's some cool filter modulation on the beats and deep crash from about a third of the way through.

Managed to mess up the fade out at the end of the video :/

Need sleep ;)"

Rachmaninoff: Vocalise, Op. 34, No. 14 (synthesized)


YouTube Sergei Rachmaninoff (1873-1943): Vocalise, Op. 34, No. 4

"This very famous composition, composed in 1912 by Sergei Rachmaninoff, is scored for solo voice with piano accompaniment. It has no lyrics, but is sung on a single vowel sound (of the vocalist's choosing). It was dedicated to soprano Antonina Nezhdanova. The piece is somewhat tonally ambiguous, though bears resemblance to the E minor tonality. It is often transposed so as to suit the range of a variety of vocalists.

This synthesized rendition was generated by our Matlab synthesizer, utilizing two unique "instruments" we have programmed. The piano accompaniment timbre contains strong odd harmonics, while the melody stands out through its use of vibrato. The scrolling visualization on screen is a spectrogram, a graphic plot of the spectral content of an audio signal. The vertical axis represents frequency, and the horizontal axis time. Higher-pitched notes appear higher up on the screen, and the harmonics for each individual note are visible above the fundamental at regularly spaced intervals"

Accelerator Demos


Accelerator Demos by Joerg Schaaf

"All files are produced with the Accelerator Synthesizer."

Descriptions:
Accelerator Demo Mix [this one previously posted here - the others are new]
"Some sounds of my latest product Accelerator!"

Accelerator Demo: Two performances
"The first performance runs the programmable polyphonic Arpeggiator and the second a sweet pad sound."

Accelerator Sound Demo: Bizarre Ambient
"Pure Accelerator sound without external FXs. I improvised over some of the FX sound chain of the factory presets I created for that synth. I recorded that in one go - the voice remain feature allows for selecting and adding new sounds while holding down some notes of the former performance. Not even the FXs get interrupted. I recorded the demo with the basic 8 voice version."

Accelerator Demo: Two string filter sounds + a phasing pad
"Three sounds: A string filter plucked string emulation, a string filter flute emulation and a phasing pad for the background. All recorded without external FXs."

Darkside
"Just listen to the bizarre Delay Feedback FXs in the second third of the demo. After doing some experiments with this astonishing delay we decided to add the string filter to the sound engine. The string filter is mainly a delay - but with two damping filters. But as a second result, the delay can be tuned in halftones."
