Hey Simon,

Sampleconstruct wrote:Amongst other things I sampled some water bells today, 5 different bell sizes drowned in the bathtub, which creates very interesting glissandi and warped bell sounds, there will be multi-sampled patches with round robin and velocity layers, but this patch uses a very long bell scape with already somewhat processed bell textures distributed over 4 morphable sources in Alchemy 2.

First of all, another brilliant example of sound design you excel so much at...

Second, this bank alone is worth getting the new library...

Looks like you've done it again...

I dearly hope to be able to pre-order it on time... ETA, second half of October, right?

Take care

,

Alberto

Thank you, Alberto - I had planned those water bells for a long time, now they fitted the new project perfectly so I got my hands (and bells) wet

There is plenty of time, so much to sample, edit and program, end of October I would say.

This patch uses additive re-synthesis of 2 images I made with ArtMatic which produces some awesome sounds if you take the time to adjust the re-synthesized data somewhat in the additive editors. Morphing between the snapshots in the video in several passes, the patch is set to morphing between the 2 sources.

Three fresh Alchemy 2-patches from Resurrection in one slightly epic demo track:

Improvising with a patch named Granular Sine Drone, 3 long (multi)samples in granular mode with zone crossfade, the automation was recorded together with the music:

Alchemy 2 is happening...

A multi-sampled marching drum patch, hits played wits 2 different mallets at 3 velocities and 6x round robin, stick on the rim with 6x round robin, all sorts of filter+pitch FX can be dialed in for each sound.

Three fresh patches in a slightly futuristic ambient sort of groove track with some soundtrack-ish sort of influence, sort of:

Improvising with the patch “Additive Bass Flute“, in this case the additive re-synthesis of multisampled bass flute swells and decays works really well and produces some lovely timbres:

Here comes a first patch using stick cello samples (and some violin too):

Multi-sampled tremolos played with a thin drum stick on cello and violin, 3 multi-samples in each source, 4 sources can be layered and morphed, auto-morphing via 2 LFOs is also possible.

Sampled at A1/A2 (cello) and A3 (violin) - 4 variations each, each of the 12 tremolos slightly differs in speed and dynamic range so you get a constantly changing organic granular texture.

The new granular taps in Alchemy 2 really are a game changer, with the right samples and granular settings it comes more close to the granular heaven we can achieve in HALion 5.

Programmed and played during the current lunar eclipse which is beautifully shining through one of my studio windows on a crystal clear night:

Bowed Spectrality - a patch using multi-sampled bowed crotales and vibraphone sounds, re-synthesized in spectral and additive mode (different samples in each source A-B). Layered in the background is the patch Additive Bassflute (see video above).

Multisampled water bells meet ambient pad heaven - 2 fresh patches from Resurrection:

Here comes an impro with the patch Stick Cello 5Vel RR3, 10 pitches were sampled between C1 - G3 with 5 velocity layers and 3x round robin - 150 samples.

The initial improvisation played with a pure/acoustic snapshot was copied, transposed up and then played back alternating between two of the distorted/modulated snapshots within the patch.

This was tough to sample and edit as I had to remove quite a few of these amazing resonances which occur when you hit a cello with drumsticks in order to achieve a homogeneous sound

, now it sounds like the instrument I had in mind.

Two fresh SciFi-patches (Exoplanet & SciFi Sweeps Split) are featured in this rather alien soundscape - 100% Alchemy 2:

Something more quiet - two fresh patches, morphing spectrally resynthesized flute textures meet more water bells, rather delicate:
