Alchemy Player

Alchemy Player is a free software instrument with an inspiring 1GB sample library and 200 instrument sounds including evolving soundscapes, lush pads, and pulsing arpeggios. 150 sounds are included with 50 more when you sign up for a free account.

Alchemy Player may be the only sample player you ever need, since it can now load any SFZ sample library. Built with the Alchemy engine under the hood, it provides ready to play sounds that can be easily tweaked via the intuitive interface.

• tweak sounds to fit your music using the perform controls and remix pads
• better, more responsive sounds provided by powerful synthesis and modulation
• smaller download sizes and less disk space thanks to resynthesis

Alchemy Player features the same advanced sample manipulation engine as its big brother, with additive, spectral, granular, sampling and VA synthesis for totally unique sounds, and is easily controlled via a simple and compact interface. This provides sixteen performance controls for real-time tweaking and automation, which have unique functions for each preset carefully chosen by the sound designer; so each preset is like a small synth in its own right.

The remix pad also makes it possible to quickly try different variations - simply click and drag to morph between the eight variations. All presets are arranged by product and category for rapid access to the sound you require, to keep your inspiration flowing.

The Alchemy Mobile App for iPhone and iPad is an inspiring touch remote. It's perfect onstage for live performances or in the studio you'll spend more time getting inspired at your controller keyboard and less time reaching for the mouse.

Alchemy Player can play back highly detailed SFZ sample libraries of acoustic instruments, as it supports round-robin and key-switching plus unlimited keyboard zones and velocity layers. When you load an SFZ file, Alchemy automatically creates eight remix pad variations and provides access to 16 controls including delay, reverb, filter, vibrato and tremolo.
