Camel Audio has released Cameleon 5000 version 1.6, which includes new harmonic and noise profiles and 200 extra presets, among other features. Version 1.6 offers an improved noise generator for brighter, crisper sounds (select LQ for old noise compatibility), key tracking for the noise generator and filter, improvements to the reverb, and the ability to copy and paste harmonic and noise profiles between voices and presets.

Camel Audio has also released two new sound banks. TC Blue Space by Tim Conrardy is a collection of pads and textures that take advantage of Cameleon's new features. Kriminology by Kriminal is a collection of basses, leads, and pads.

Camel Audio has also added a new tutorial to their Web site, called Phattening your Cameleon, which includes tips from top preset designers. Click here to read the EM review of Cameleon 1.3. For more information about Cameleon 1.6, visit Camel Audio.
