is there anyway here that did the group buy and got that extra content, like the tutorials and such? and the sounds?

they said it'd all be ready in december but i forgot to check.

they have stuff on their site when you login but it seems like its for all users... so where's the stuff for the group buy?

I'm wondering the same thing myself. Is the new content the stuff they updated with the new release? Seems that stuff is available to everyone and they also updated their tutorial vids (really BTW!), but didn't see anything specific to the group buy peeps. I'm thinking the new stuff that is available is what they were referring to. The new presets are pretty dope and the tutorials give you some interesting ideas to try out - if you haven't checked the new tutorials, they are highly recommended.

I'm really starting to use this synth more and more. It's great for evolving pads...

Yeah the tuts are sweet that's what made me want more!

The additional presets are available in the user area (and yes it's made available for pre-group-buy Alchemy users, which I though was a very nice move on Camel Audio's part).

The Videos are available in your user area (tutorials can be streamed or you can download the mobile versions in the user download area).

The coupon for 50% off another soundpack is said to be on it's way sometime possibly as soon as next week, which should happen as another soundbank (maybe 2??) is made available for purchase.

Gotcha. So that IS the stuff. It's cool but less awesome as a value for the group buy if evryone got it. It's cool thoough, I love getting that stuff as product owner regardless.

Yeah, I got it all a few weeks ago. Tutorials are a little weak as far as intermediate/advanced features, and are mainly for people who've never used the program. Presets I never use, but the source material is good to muck around with.

you NEVER use presets? your missing out dude you should try INIT PATCH it's great.

Those tuts pretty much seemed right at my level though, i'm still not familiar with every "oldest trick in the book" type thing so it's nice to see it for the first time. I just wished they had more, because i really enjoy watching them (tuts in general).

i just wish i knew someone, ANYONE, who realesed even CLOSE to competent tutorials. Mabye starving student has posted some youtube links round here...

Touche!

Init is my favorite preset.

While I don't know how many tutorials will be made, I do know that they're releasing them as soon as they're finished and it just so happens, that these are just the first five completed!

the tutorials were laaaaaaaaammmmmeeee... I scoured the user & download several times in fevered disbelief looking for the 'real' tutorials, you know, the good ones. Did I pay for those tuts ? I hope not

Dunno, I liked the tuts, seemed fine to me, looking forward to the rest of them.

Thought the manual had some pretty good mini tuts and tips. Odd that someone hasn't at least posted some cool tuts on YouTube...

I really do hope all of you know that Camel Audio is very receptive to criticism. Should anyone be interested in contacting them about the tutorial content, I'm sure you'll get a good response.

Indeed. Many new features come directly from people making suggestions. And they are extremely adept at taking care of bugs without delay.

The tut issue has come up over at the KVR forum. I'm almost certain that there were extensive vid tuts in the works/planned at one time, but they never came to fruition.

The tutorials are great for the content they cover. There's nothing wrong with them.
