According to a fresh report coming from MacRumors, it seems that Apple has acquired popular music plug-in and effect maker Camel Audio. The company is known for its range of plug-ins, synthesizers, effects, and sound libraries, which were available via the company's Alchemy software.
Available for $249, Alchemy included more than 1000 sounds, 5.5GB worth of samples, a powerful additive resynthesis engine, spectral resynthesis, a virtual analog synthesizer, and much more.
The reason for the acquisition isn't known at the moment, but it's been speculated that Apple could use it for a future version of Logic Pro X, Apple's software designed for professional musicians, or GarageBand. Who knows, maybe it will be used also in the upcoming revamped music streaming service based on the Beats acquisition, as well.
