And you get more precise control of both additive and spectral resynthesis – the algorithms themselves have been sonically improved, we’re told. There are more additive effects (Pulse/Saw, Harmonic, Beating, Stretch, Shift, Magnet, Spread, Auto Pan). These are really a big part of what sets Alchemy apart, and they’re vastly expanded. More precise additive resynthesis, spectral resynthesis. You also get more options in the interface. Advanced cross-synthesis now improves audio morphing, incorporating all the details of the sound (additive, spectral, formant, pitch, envelope). For those of you familiar with the instrument, here’s some of what’s new:īetter morphing. This is officially Alchemy 2.0, a major update. It’s not just Alchemy inside Logic Pro X 10.2. And Alchemy itself hasn’t just been shoved into Logic’s interface – there are some significant additions there, as well. Logic Pro X 10.2, available as a free App Store upgrade or for instant purchase, includes a raft of other improvements. In fact, I can’t think of another single instrument that does quite as much all via one interface. ![]() If you want to go deeper, you have an instrument that does additive, spectral, formant, granular, sampling, and virtual analog synthesis. If you’re just looking for a sound quickly, you can mess about with transform controls and pull up a wide range of presets. And that’s where there’s good news: Alchemy has been vastly updated. What we didn’t know is what form the re-released version would take. Now, we more or less knew back when Camel Audio was acquired by Apple that this would also mean no more availability of Alchemy as a plug-in for other DAWs (or other platforms). On the other hand, if those “iPad Pro” rumors are true… well, I’ll let you fantasize about that Apple of course won’t tell me anything.) (I do say desktop – there’s no sign of Alchemy on iOS at this time. (That means the $29.99 MainStage is now also a heck of a steal if you just want the synth.) In Logic Pro X, and even MainStage, you can access the full instrument. Even in GarageBand, you can access Alchemy-based presets. ![]() As expected following Cupertino’s acquisition, Alchemy, a deep “sample manipulation” synth, has made its way into Apple’s product line. And that synth is no basic pack-in – it’s one of the deepest software instruments on the market. Logic Pro has a new flagship synth instrument.
