I finally found the time to prepare a SoundPack with samples recorded at a tuna auction in Tokyo some years ago. We went there at 4 o clock in the morning and experienced this strange ritual, huge tunas lying around and the chanting and yelling auctioneers sticking their fingers into the tunas to test their quality. At the end of each small auction there was this concert of bells.
The Pack contains 22 wavs recorded in 48 Khz/24 Bit - 328 MB unzipped. Price is 14.95 €

Alchemistry Beyond for Alchemy released on patchpool
I just released Alchemistry Beyond for Alchemy after more than 2 months of Alchemania:
This Sound Bank for Alchemy comprises a whole universe of unique and fascinating sounds. A violinist and a female vocalist were hired to record unique source material using top notch Neumann microphones, all samples were recorded in L-C-R in 48 Khz/24 Bit/stereo, many of those were processed with an array of FX-Plug-Ins to create unheard electronic textures. Multisampled violin and vocal patches featuring conventional and unusal articulations create evocative, cinematic, dark and touching atmospheres as well as beautiful pad sounds. Various chromatic and achromatic percussion instruments as well as metal and glass objects were multisampled, piano strings treated with coins and lots of processed field recordings from around the globe recorded on trips during the last months are included in the 3,71 Gigabyte sample content.
Otherworldly electronic textures using mutlisampled software synths with sounds I made for this Bank and fascinating textures created with the incredible Metasynth are another important ingredient of Alchemistry Beyond.
Quite a few patches have 4 alternations (Round Robin) for more realism and expressiveness, some also use up to 3 velocity layers.
You can read/download the pdf-file with further instructions, more details, the licence agreement and a patchlist here.
This Bank contains 128 patches with 8 variations each in Alchemy's Remix Pad. All 8 Performance Controllers as well as both x/y-pads are assigned for each patch. The sounds are delivered as a RAR-archive split up into 5 parts for better download handling. The download size is 2,67 GB.
NOTE: This Sound Bank requires the full version of Alchemy.
It does not work with the Alchemy player version.
Price: 49.95 €

What's next?
Thinking loud here:
After releasing Alchemistry Beyond for Alchemy some time next week I shall first concentrate on making/finishing a bunch of Absynth patches to be released on absynthsounds.com
A second volume of "Best of absynthsounds.com" is then due to be released on patchpool
After that it will be my second Zebra Bank I guess. Also I might release something for Turnado which is a great Multi FX by Sugarbytes.
From the vast amount of sample I made for Alchemistry Beyond I will probably make some derivates for Kontakt, especially all the violin samples would be very cool to have as Kontakt instruments.
More SoundPacks and single-wavs will be released as well.
Looking into the possibility to make video demos and trailers for patchpool as well.

Alchemistry Beyond - The finishing line...
I can feel it, the finishing line must be around the next corner. After almost 2 months of working on this new Bank almost every day, sometimes for 12 hours and more I now have over 100 patches with only +20 to go. My passion for sampling, resynthesizing and granulating known and unknown sounds has manifested itself on a new level in this work and I'm pretty happy and excited about it.
As I'll use these sounds in my own compositional work during the next months and years making a Bank like this is also like creating a new source of inspiration for myself, so the feeling I have right now is bit like on the day before christmas :)
I've dug deep into Alchemy's possibilities (and limitations) with my 2 Alchemy Banks, I really know this piece of software now and my list of improvement wishes is long, maybe a few of these requests will be made possible by Camel Audio in future versions.
