Unfortunately, he followed up with this:

I don't know anything... it's just my own assumption (or maybe not) it's just that Camel Audio would never leave their business behind like that without quickly passing information on to their customers about the reason. That wouldn't be logical and not how the Camel's do stuff. |
The "or maybe not" part makes me still think that he knows something, but whatever, I guess we'll find out what's going on if/when Camel Audio decides to tell us. |

He'd not say anything that went against an NDA, so 'or maybe not' is probably a bit of a red herring.
I know a couple of their other main sound designers as well, and they know nothing.
Alchemy 2 WAS near complete though and apparently quite awesome. |

I know you do, so I was hoping you'd be able to provide some intel. Or, maybe their people have already gotten to you, too. Trust no one. :disbelief |

Haha no.
I spoke to them about doing some presets last year, but it's very involved and not something that interested me enough to start with.
But if they say they know nothing, then they know nothing :( |

| Ye Andy is a friend of mine and I can vouch that Alchemy 2 was almost there. Still I had no idea about this. |

I don't really want to get into the speculation game (because I'm usually wrong), but it really does smell of buyout to me. I could see NI, for example, wanting in on Camel's success and, if Alchemy 2 is as awesome as all indications seemed, why wouldn't a bigger company want that in their product line? Maybe that's just wishful thinking, though. As a Camel Audio customer, it sucks to see them go, but if Ben and the boys made a pile of cash and Alchemy 2 will still see the light of day, that's probably the best outcome I could hope for at this point. |

Yep, that would be a best case scenario indeed. Maybe NI is interested in Alchemy 2 as a successor to Absynth in their flagship product line? They have been slacking when it comes to synthesis lately... |

This would be a win win scenario for all of us (who use Alchemy or NI product) -> as an existing Alchemy or NI user we would still have some form of discount for upgrade to ver2 :D

Maybe it's not so far-fetched. Here's what Urs from U-he just posted minutes ago.

If you put 1 and 1 together, I'm sure some big player got interested in the technology behind Alchemy 2. |

I managed to read twentysomething pages of the KVR thread until the conspiracy speculations got boring.
But yeah, buyout and NDA seems like the most likely scenario. |
