Havent been on beta since CA5000. Its not really my thing. Cant say im a fan of Alchemy. I did install a version last year, but i never use it (i dont actually use anything these days)
I was on the CA 5000 beta team as well along with Tim Conrardy and Frank Genus. I've never been good at additive synthesis....everything I do ends up sounding like a bell......

Yes the updates always seem fiddly and I think you're right it's more down to patch/bank/sample content than the actual engine. It's been a while since I've updated Alchemy but I just remember it seemed unnecessarily difficult.......maybe the 1.55 update will be easier and I'll probably give it a go on my days off.
I love Alchemy mostly because it's a sound design dream but come to think of it I haven't used it in a composition in quite awhile..........
