Alchemy Player now allows you to load and play any SFZ file, and comes with 150 presets (1200 variations) plus an extra 50 sounds if you register, with a total of 1 GB of samples. You can extend your sound palette with Camel Audio’s Alchemy Sound Library range. Alchemy Player supports major formats on both Windows and Mac including VST, AU and RTAS in 32-bit and 64-bit flavours.
