    It's interesting that when Alchemy was an independent product prior to Apple purchasing the company, it cost $249, which is more than the entire Logic Pro package which now includes Alchemy.

    Tickled as requested. As someone still new to this, I knew you swap between the variants for each patch but didn't realise you could move the puck to cover several. That's a cool feature, cheers for highlighting it.

    Automation of parameters - turn on Merge Recording and go into record mode over your track and alter the parameters (Transform Pad, Cut Off, Attack, Delays or whatever you want) and that automation will be recorded so when you play the track again it will contain all those movements. A lot of people don't know that you can automate synths in GarageBand iOS by using Merge Recording. Great Video Patrick.

    A fun thing to do is to record a few bars of one of the synth sounds then, on playback, use the morph pads to experiment with the different sound variations you can create on that particular synth

  • @DMTCYMATICSDreamMusicTemple

    I owned the original Alchemy synth and bought all the IAP. Then Apple removed it from the store... i was gutted! Then it came out for garageband and I've never use it since. I may return to the garagaband version, but I'm a Cubasis producer. I miss the original Alchemy.

    My Biggest complaints with iOS Garageband:
    -No MIDI export
    -No ‘normal’ loop fuction
    -No automation for AudioUnits and interapp synths
    -Not being able to put an arpeggio on already written MIDI
    The only reason for these limitations I can think of is to ‘force’ people to buy a Mac to go full GB or Logic .. bummer

    My only frustration is Apple not allowing us to midi learn the knobs. Yes, Steve said all you need is your finger. Apple also provides custom color iDevices. Give us the option.
    But I digress. One of the first things I was exposed to when I opened GarageBand. Thanks for the reminder as it's been a journey of being distracted with other "shiny" toys.

    Alchemy in GarageBand is not ‘fully featured’. Not even remotely. It has been turned into a glorified preset player. Too bad because there are plenty of people who contend that the original stand-alone version was, and still is, one of the greatest iOS music apps.
