![]() ![]() (robotic music) I really like Huge, Filthy Bass, personally. ![]() (ominous music) There's the Nasty Wobble. And over here, there's one called Brawler that I particularly like, so I'm going to in here and I'll play a little simple bass line and we can here some of these different snashots and presets. And I'm going to choose Electric, Dubstep, and here I'm going to choose Nasty. And let's look at one more, I'm going to go into the bass sounds because there's some awesome bass sounds here. (upbeat music) So you can get some of those more classic, vintage, analog synth sounds with some nice arpeggiation and movement. And this is sort of a classic synth sound. ![]() So I'm going to go into Arpeggiated and I'm going to go to Classic, I'm going to choose the Genre of Pop, and I'm going to choose the Phat with a "Ph." And from here it filters them out and then I'm going to choose one called Sweeping Arp. Let's explore one of the arpeggiated type of presets. (sinister music) So that's one of the presets under Soundscapes. So let me play this chord and we'll hear the preset and I'll move between the different states. But the cool thing is, as you'll see, as you can click and drag and move seamlessly between the different states, not just having to click on each one individually. Let me just choose that, it loads up the synth with that sound, and I'm going to play a chord on my keyboard and as I play it I'm going to go down here and move around some of the Performance aspects here, which is just basically, these are snapshots of different states of the synth. And I like this one called Cadence of Triton. So under Category, for example, if I chose Soundscapes and then Subcategory Drone, and then Genre Ambient, and for Timbre, I'm going to go for Dark and then it filters those out all of the presets with those key words tagged. And instead of going on and on about how awesome these presets are, I'll just go through some of the patches and let the synth speak for itself. Right now the only one listed is Apple, but that just kind of indicates to me that in the future there might be more sound designers that are hired to create even more presets and those will show up in future Apple Logic Pro releases. In addition to Category, Subcategory, Genre, and Timbre, you can also tag different presets with things like Articulation, and even the Sound Designer who sound designed it. But what's really cool is that these presets are already tagged with key words Categories, Subcategories, Genres, and Timbres as key words and you can search them through those key words to find what you're looking for. Once you download all of the additional content for Alchemy, which you can do under Logic Pro X, Download Additional Content, and you check the Alchemy Sound Libraries box, you see I've already installed it, you get up to 3,109 presets, as you can see in the top right of the Alchemy Synth. Luckily, a deep library is provided here for you and it's nothing to take lightly. With such a range of sounds and synthesis options, it could take a lifetime for one person to create a usable library of sounds in Alchemy. In this movie, we'll explore the first page you see, the Browse tab. Now this is the Advanced tab, where we'll spend more time in the movies to come. Finally, the performance section down here allows you to store and save snapshots of various states of the synth and then seamlessly move between those states. On top of that, the modulation capabilities provide endless ways to create evocative movement and excitement to those sounds. So alchemy is quite a fitting name for this instrument because with the incredibly deep synthesis engines, filters, and modulation capabilities, you're able to approach sonic gold by combining up to four sound sources that are built on several possible types of synthesis: oscillation based additive synthesis, spectral granular, wave table, and sample based synthesis. In medieval times, alchemy was the science of combining elements in the attempt to make gold.
