Post updated with a link to the sale (lol) and some further details.

I signed up for TrueFire All Access for $99 on BlackFriday instead of $249 normally and thought that was a great price. For 24 hours only (ending in less than 16 hours from the time of writing) you can sign up or extend an existing plan for only $55. So I now have membership through to Black Friday on 2023. Hopefully there'll be another one of these sales next year and I can extend again then! If you don't know what TrueFire is, it's a site that offers tons of different online guitar courses that can be bought individually or you can pay for All Access to get subscription access to everything. After reviewing the various offerings last year I decided this was the one that suited me best in terms of course variety and quality. I was wondering whether I'd want to renew at $99 for a year, I figured I probably would but I wasn't 100% sure. But $55 for a year, this is no brainer territory for me. https://truefire.com/cinco Here's the description from TrueFire: The best deal on All Access EVER! You won’t find a better discount again.

Been hanging out for this one! A very HQ plate I thought when I demoed it recently. There's impulses of the same hardware in the IK Sunset Sound plugin btw. Use the generic voucher 2022-05-25GS81TZiTw39 with one of the $9.99 pedals to bring the price down to $54.98 which is only $5 off their Black Friday price, which was 50% off the introductory price of $99. Now that the normal price is $149.99 I suspect it might only go to $75 on Black Friday this year. Warren Huart, Paul Third and Adam Steele did a combined video looking at the Ecoplate here

Yeah there's only discounts for items in the bundle you already own, and AutoFormer is not in the bundle.

If you have any of these already, login at United Plugins to see if you get a better price. I have Front DAW already so I got a price of $36, down from $41 direct from UP. Also I had $22 of credits in my United Plugins account bringing the total price down to $14. Couldn't say no to that. https://unitedplugins.com/3rdAnniversaryBundle

I misread it as "degenerative synth sound module" and wondered what kind of filthy sounds this thing could make...

This is a pretty impressive sale. Thinking of picking up a few things. I don't know that I've seen things go any lower than this before, eg $2.50 for cab packs. Just gotta keep the cart total below $49.99 or else it seems to enforce a holyweek coupon code in lieu of the AAFIFTY coupon code

Have you tried setting it to the full resolution and increasing the scaling percentage accordingly? (eg if you're currently on 100% try 150%) Everything should be the same size but a little bit clearer, unless there's anything that ignores the scaling settings and remains tiny. I think Windows 10 is pretty good with the DPI scaling nowadays. I'm actually using an Nvidia 3d anti aliasing option called "DSR - Factors" at 3x to run a virtual resolution of 4434x1871 which sort of fakes the appearance of those extra pixels, it's a lot like the look of old iMacs before they went hi res. My monitor is a 34 inch ultra wide 2560x1080 and I wish I had extra pixels lol. I need a new PC before I get a new monitor though. So I have the scale of 150% set in Windows Display settings to bring things back to a usable size.

"RP-Distort 2 is part of the eXplorer-7 bundle! If you own eXplorer-7, please download the latest version, or download the single installer of RP-Distort 2 and use your eXplorer-7 serial during installation. The single RP-Distort 2 download you can find if you scroll down on the download page of eXplorer-7. Of course, close your music program ahead of installation!" I decided to pick up the Explorer bundle recently, so this is a nice little bonus!

Neutron 4 must be close

I'm on a Windows 10 Pc and it pops open a yellow Windows Explorer window when the download is complete, look out for it on the taskbar. Each download that completes pops open a new Explorer window.

My thoughts too. It's clunky but if you go through the motions you might end up getting a better deal on an upgrade to the bundle. I must say, Prophecy and the MiniKORG are pretty great. I just realised the similar name to Mini Moog. Coincidence?

I have the same issue with the Arp Odyssey browser. No categories is such an odd design choice.

The M1 LE is given away with hardware purchases as a teaser product to add value to the hardware purchase but also to try to get new customers for Korg, similar to how Ableton Live Lite is thrown in and you can get a discounted upgrade price for Live Std or Suite. I'm not sure if they offer upgrades from single products to the bundle but if you login to id.korg.com and look for an offer there that's the best way to figure out what your options are as an existing customer.

Does that mean you're eligible for a cheaper upgrade than 149? That'd be quite the score since you would be getting Triton as well (I think?) which is normally $199. If you login to id.korg.com and go to Offers from Korg, copy the code they give you then click Buy it should take you directly to the upgrade product relevant to you.

Glad to see Korg has discounted the upgrade for us poor bundle V2 owners at last, huzzah!

Harold Faltermeyer foretold the arrival of this one

No longer satisfied with simply being in the room, now it brings the room to you

I've been playing with the free one this evening. It is quite different to Valhalla and Exponential Audio's reverbs. The closest parallel I can think of is EastWest Spaces II, although it's not quite as diverse as that in the selection. But the quality - even in the Lite edition - sounds higher to my ears than Spaces II. I'm pretty surprised at how good it is, considering they gave this Lite version away for free.

Sorry I just realised it's 193 gigs for the download now. LOL. 193 gigs. Take that SoundPaint!

https://www.bestservice.com/deals/inspired_acoustics_flash_sale_50_off_4038.html Looks like it's valid for all of one day. I've only just got around to installing the Lite one I picked up for free ages ago, but in testing it, it does sound incredible. I thought EastWest Spaces II was good, but this sounds quite a bit clearer. Only $ 45.25 to upgrade from Lite to Personal for those who got Lite for free way back when. I will note that the first 12 gig download was easy enough this afternoon (completed in about 45 minutes), but some people seem to have trouble downloading the 140 gig set of sampled spaces that the larger editions come with.

I just realised I do have one Eventide freebie, so my upgrade price is only $679.15 which is even better than the price I was contemplating at PluginDiscounts.com of $689. In case anyone else is interested, ThomannMusic.com has it even cheaper again at $659 currently.

Still pondering this one. Do you think this is as good a price as it will get for this bundle, given that I don't own any Eventide plugins at present? Or if I wait a few month or till Black Friday is it likely to drop any lower?

Wow this is definitely the cheapest I've seen it. What a bargain! When I was testing reverbs a while back this was one I thought I really should get when it next went on sale but I don't think I've seen it go below about $49 before. I've bought a few since then, it'll be interesting to see how it holds up.

Btw when they first announced this, I don't think the discounts were being applied yet at Thomann, because it didn't seem any cheaper than I could get it directly from Martinic themselves. But now it's actually significantly discounted. $54 for AX73 for example.
