PROJECT PRESET - Luftrum Ambient soundbank for Camel Audio Alchemy

[Fheyd2Black]

you put me asleep in a good way :D

[MrJackanthony]

Because you have this I'm getting this!

[psbmastering]

Very cool review of Luftrum. I wish you could do the same comparison with other sound banks designed for Alchemy. I know it takes a long time to do a proper presentation of all presets, but never the less it would be cool if you could do at least one more soundbank from Camel Audio. Thanks for sharing this.

uploading time?...

[megtracykid42]

Dude this is so long

[FinalFragment]

And Luftrum rules btw!

[FinalFragment]

Hehe super nice review, though you are saying "Luftrum" in a very funny way :)

[noobdles]

you know some of these patches sound exactly like what Daft Punk used in the new Tron soundtrack. interesting

[thecreativecircle01]

@noobdles Agree. I must get this!!!

[jamesbannon001]

I've been listening to the BBC Radiopnonic Workshop documentary, and these sounds, in addition to those in Omnisphere, remind me very much of that.

[jorikello]

Exelant

[FutzelKuh123]

really great torley! awesome tune at 8:04

[novanine9]

I don't, currently, have Camel Alchemy. I understand that the purchase of the ambient sound banks comes with a version of Alchemy. Would that version allow me to render everything that you performed in your video....does the version of Alchemy that comes with the sound bank have full effects editing capabilities? thanks

[noobdles]

@novanine9 if u buy alchemy it comes with factory sound banks, these ones he is demo'ing are extra soundbanks you can purchase. many use audio samples that can't be generated by the synth on its own. the video mostly shows alchemy in 'simple' mode. once you click advance thats where all the awesome tweaking takes place :) see his other videos

[novanine9]

does the version of Alchemy that comes with Luftrum sound bank....does it come with effects capability and editing that you are referring to at 12:22 ?

I am, seriously, making the purchase

thanks

[novanine9]

Thanks for posting. I will buy this due to your video. I am a newbie with daw and vsti. My question is this.

I don't, clearly, understand the 2 tier keyboard layout. Basically, could you explain how U got to the 2 keyboard setup? Are U loading up 2 separate instances of the Luftrum soundbanks & playing them simultaneously, or does come with the 2 upper and lower in one alchemy setup does the top keyboard play the higher octaves and the lower keyboard play the lower range octave tones?

[sommersound]

02:59 reminds me of a melody in "The Goonies".

[etyrnal]

patience tester! lol

some of those pads are gorgeous

[syntheticmusic]

wow, that was a totally epic demo, thanks a lot. definitely the best sound pack/synth demo i've seen

[mysticradio]

man that blows away my omnisphere........... not that omni is a slouch.............

its a no brainer buy. friendly thankyouz to TORLEY

[jchief40]

@mysticradio blows away Omnisphere??? wtf dude Alchemy is awesome (I own both) but Omnisphere is a beast! How could you even compare??? lolz

[lightconstruct]

@08:17, that's a cool piece of improvisation and sounds

[Bzeemer]

Torley you made me buy these Alchemy player with the Luftrum soundbank. Thanks for this video, the way you explain these softsynts is exactly what I want to know. Keep on going!!!

[Saphothere]

The sound a 51:44, it makes me want to baww. Reminds me of the movie Contact.

[BongmeBongo]

i love you

[RockyTheMarine]

Hey Torley can you play some Final Fantasy music?

"To Zanarkand" from Final Fantasy X

Can you do a remix or something?

=]

[SecretMisery]

I love his shirt :D

[darkazesim]

2:04 reminds me of the atlantis level of Banjo-Tooie. Awesome! XD

[HELLSPAWN1973]

great video, great synth

[jarlb]

You are such a good guy :) Love this vid!

[AniCator]

I love these long videos! :) Thanks for showing these instruments Torley!

[BillyVinciolo]

Way to long dude

[linkster9]

@BillyVinciolo Not long enough*

[liquidsounddestructi]

fantastic sounds and video and also a fantastic sound library.

[madmomentsgo]

great vid and sounds.

[HeavyMuffins]

You make me want to learn to play the piano, and to buy this. I freaking LOVE ambient stuff, but a guitar is so limiting to what you can do lol.

[9milNL]

Sounds VERY nice, each one of them :)

I am trying to learn to actually play with two hands but both hands always go out of tone with a pain in the ear result :\ Any tips?

[yorgle]

Reminds me of "Music From The Hearts Of Space"... possibly something Ray Lynchian...

[Renew3D]

Ironic really, I was looking for SL and when I subbed to you, I found another great interest of mine instead. I have been looking for a good music software recently. You sure know how you can play. Is there an album of your production somewhere I can buy? I love what I hear.

[MALOJBADBOY]

nice work

[thekilon]

I Just layered Alchemy with my Andromeda, and it was amazing. Alchemy uniqueness with an anlogue fatness is a deadly combo. And I find Alchemy as excellent partner to any anolgue synth out there.

[subby33]

@thekilon Funny, I used to own an Andromeda :-).

[thekilon]

@subby33 Yes I have tried Sylenth and Minimosta, but frankly nothing sounds as good as my Andromeda. And I dont think that Andromeda is the best sounding Analogue. I bought it for its versetility. The Pro One you mention has an amazing character. Sound wise the only soft synth that sounds fat to my ears is Zebra and Thor. But even those are nothing compared to a Jupiter / Cs-80/ Elkas Synthex.

[tehpeasant]

Wow! I have to get this.

[Alex3330]

You sound so nice and fatherly :D <3

[thekilon]

@subby33

And if that is not enough Alchemy does not stop at additive.

Alchemy also a) support spectral synthesis, its similar to additive BUT spectral allows you to paint sound, with regular painting tools b) Graintable which brakes a sample in small parts and allow you to rearrange them c) regualr sampler , which works as any sampler out there.

[subby33]

@thekilon Hey, thanks for all the info, and thats for clearing up the differences for me. I always thought additive and FM were the same type of synthesis with a different name. So for 250 bucks its a very powerful synth. Good for ambient type stuff I'd guess. I would still say subtractive on real analogues is my favorite type of synthesis, but I would agree with you that its not so versatile a lot of the time.

[thekilon]

@subby33 if all you want is super FAT bread and butter sound, nothing can beat a pure analogue . NOTHING!!

HOWEVER

Alchemy offers way to process samples, that go light years ahead of what a sampler or analogue synth can do. Its also alot simpler, faster and loads more fun. So Alchemy will certainly not replace your analogue synth, but it will fill the gap that an analogue cant fill easily and that is complex , unique timbres of sound.

[subby33]

@thekilon Hey. Yha, I use both analog and digital synths side by side. I haven't gotten too much into the digital additive and FM synths, but I will in time. As far as subtractive soft synths go, Sylenth and Minimonsta are actually VERY good sounding, and can come pretty darn close to that analog character, but as always, are too precise to really compare to a good analog.

[subby33]

@thekilon I plan on buying a Juno 106 and Mopho. Both are DCO analog synths, so I might get a Sequential Circuits Pro One for that amazing bass. However, they are hard to find and expensive. Time will tell. Too many great things for musicians out right now. Its hard to decide where to spend your money.

[thekilon]

@subby33 Especially with Elka Synthex I have the deepest love, in fron of it , any soft synth sound like crap in matters of fatness. They dont make them as they used to, thats for sure. But sample mangling can save loads of time. I love analogue sound but also love to work fast and make track 2-3 hours max.

[Saphothere]

If I had seen this a couple days ago i would have bought it instead of Modern Warfare 2. That would have been a better, more productive way to spend my time and money. :(

[Zenboy23]

I dont know why people bother with FL anymore, I tried yesterday Presonus Studio One and after 5 years of cubase sx &5 I have completelly ditched it, StudioOne is such an elegant simple and powerful DAW, Im in love with it O_O

[YEE941]

your demos make me spend money, damn you

[MarkusStorm09]

missed your videos, great one, i love ambient :))

[MrDapunker]

Sounds great, but don't you think Alchemy sounds a bit too bright and needs to be toned down a bit, and also has a lot of mid range frequencies?

[thekilon]

@MrDapunker Alchemy is an additive synth, and additive tends to sound thin and bright. BUT Additive is GREAT because is not only detailed but also very easy to use. For example in FM you move blindly , in substractive there is not much to do or change , but in additive you both know exactly what you are doing and you can go into enormous detail.

[subby33]

@thekilon I thought FM was Additive synthesis . . . . . . .

[thekilon]

@subby33 No . FM and Additive are EXTREMELY diffirent. In FM one oscilator or more are used to modulate the Frequency of another modulation.

In additve the sound is broken in partials. Each partial is a sine oscilator with separate amp, pitch and phase. The thoery behind additive is that each sound can be created with adding these partials together. Like a picture is a group of pixels in RGB format.

Alchemy has up to 600 partials!!!

[thekilon]

@subby33 The issue with fm is that it can become very chaotic . While additive is very easy to predict the final result. You want more deep sound ? just add low pitch partials. You want brighter sound ? Just add higher partials. Its that easy. While in FM a trun of the a kbob can make your sound from super deep to super bright from super fat to super thin, making it near impossible to have complete control as you can with additive.

[thekilon]

@MrDapunker What is so great with Alchemy is how dead easy is to deal with additve . Bot only it can resynthesize samples and save you loads of time, but there hundrends of tools that make ceating sound a mere 5 minute process.

[thekilon]

Of course because Alchmey in the end is an extremely advance sampler/synthesizer how thin or fat it sound it depends entirely how to programm it. I fed it some samples from my anlog synth Alesis Andromeda and I was pleasently suprised how additive retained the fatness inside the sound. Having 600 partial obviously helps alot . And even if it did not sounded fat enough I could still import it with the regular sampler and layer it with additive . So you can have your cake and eat it too.

[SatanMadeMe]

What the hell, 1 hour 9 minutes and 44 seconds. Thats the longest sexy vid on Youtube! :D

Tristram.....

That song is really good.

[daydream1nc]

Can i use it as a VSTi??

[resonantfilterblog]

@daydream1nc

Luftrum Ambient comes with a free Alchemy Player. This is very similar to Native Instruments Kore Player if you've tried that. Basically you have 8 knobs, 2 x/y pads, and an 8 section preset controller (that fades into each other) for each sound. In other words you have a lot of control over the soundbank, you just can't create your own sounds from scrath without the full scale version of Alchemy.

[daydream1nc]

@resonantfilterblog Thanks! I have used Kore Player before, and I was noticing the similarity between the two programs. I'm going to look into purchasing this! Do you know if it can be used with FL Studio?

[resonantfilterblog]

@daydream1nc

Yes you can use it in Fruit Loops as a VST! According to Fruity Loops website "FL Studio not only supports VST, DX & ReWire plugins but our own advanced FL Studio 'native plugin' architecture ..." You'll want to make sure you install the vsts in the right folder (c:/programfiles/fruityloops/p­lugins/vst). There's an in-depth how to in the manual under "Installing VST and DX Plugins"

[daydream1nc]

@resonantfilterblog AWESOME! :D Thanks for the help!

[TruthBeyond]

@metzGRR Amen

[Fagleboo]

Don't know if the makers are from Sweden but "Luftrum" is swedish for Airspace

[kaare1992]

@Fagleboo same thing in denmark :)

[BrianWilliamGreen]

@sk84life0 only youtube partners can upload things over 10 minutes

[MistahhB]

@sk84life0 He's a youtube partner, so they allow him to. He can put a video that's how long he wants it to be, may it be an hour or an entire year.

[cod4boy45]
