Alchemy on GarageBand for Mac? It was the number one synth app on iOS for years, before being converted into one of the very best features in GarageBand for iOS and Logic Pro X, so why oh why do GarageBand for Mac users not have full access to Alchemy? While a disappointing shortcoming of Apple’s desktop DAW, you can still squeeze a surprising amount of sweet synth-y goodness from what. Alchemy by Camel Audio is a Virtual Instrument Audio Plugin for macOS and Windows. It functions as a VST Plugin, an Audio Units Plugin and an RTAS Plugin. 480 KVR members have added Alchemy to 25 My KVR groups 626 times. Alchemy is described by Camel Audio as 'the ultimate sample manipulation synthesizer'.
While not as fully featured as the version available in GarageBand for Mac’s big brother Logic Pro, the stripped down Alchemy Synth that we have access to sounds fantastic and has one hidden feature in particular that you might not be aware of.
In the video Below I demo this feature and show you how to get the most from the version of Alchemy built into GarageBand for Mac.
