timespace.com give £5 loyalty points for creating an account there, which can equate to a pretty substantial discount against cheapies - especially when other resellers aren't discounting a specific plugin beyond the sale price.

they also offer loyalty points if you leave a review - equivalent to £2.50 each, so £5 if you review product and t &s (but discounts seem to need to be used in £5 chunks).   

I used the £5 signup to get go2 for £15 as above, reviewed it and t&s and used the £5 plus another £5 from some other promo they did, and used that against the "sound design x bundle" upgrade from punch-2, giving blade 2 and blue 2 for £30 (vs the still super-cheap £41 normal upgrade price).

the rob papen bundle upgrades are well worth a look if you already have RP plugins. 

Computer Music magazine's December freebie is Kilohearts Slice EQ (normally $79) - works as standalone plugin, or as a snapin for multipass/phase plant etc.  The great thing is that as a snapin this has a modulatable curve offset/transpose - opens up custom filter curves within phase plant.

The mag also hints that carve eq will be a freebie in 6 month: "Carve EQ is Kilohearts other EQ...We'll (hint.hint!) hopefully be taking a very close look at this sibling to Slice in six months time so check back then for some Carve action!"

Does Blue Cat ever have any real sales?  It seems like it is only ever a token 10%.  I mean, their FREE bundle is excellent, but...

This was $79  in June and with Audio Deluxe's additional discount I paid $67 for it - so a pretty healthy 33% off.  Right now,  it's $84 at AD and $85 at dontcrack.com without any specific promo from bluecat ($99 list).

Can you successfully log in?

yes, I'm logged in but my order history only goes to 2018

I imagine if you can't log in it's because your details aren't right for 2018.

It's back up for me today

you can also buy their everything bundle (49gb ) for $69 - and the code "snacks" take 10% extra off, making it $59:

$88 at dontcrack.com in the PDZ with code PDZ_Zynaptiq

if buying from audiodeluxe the prices are the same but you get 10% in their loyalty currency for future orders.

Bought it on a whim thinking "this'll come in handy for something" - on reflection, I strongly recommend any potential buyers to take the time to watch the demo video and ask themselves if they actually have a use for something that sounds like that.

quick note that jrrshop is now carrying this offer, discount codes don't work but it might be of interest to those who have to pay VAT at gforce.

Imposcar2 really holds up for me even in the face of the latest and greatest.

for anyone that wants to buy just this years stuff for $9, here's my code:

worth checking on the eventide site ( https://www.eventideaudio.com ) if you already have some of their plugins - giving me an upgrade to anthology xi for $299 there.

I was on V5 and not a particular fan of their old analog emulations, but the newer stuff they've added recently is interesting in pure synthesis terms and sounds good to my ears regardless of how accurate it is to the original.    $99 to add dx7, cmi (especially the additive side), cz, synthi, buchla and mellotron is one of the best bargains I've had in recent times.  

got to love the fake "# of users" ticker at the top of the wusik.com site.

Can't say I was looking for more plugins, but can't argue with £13  for the hatefish rhygenerator euclidean sequencer, CLMS (automatically adjusts gain at the receive plugin to bring the level back to the send plugin's value - reducing the "louder=better" effect of processing), and thenormalizer.  Very pleased with all 3.

I love this thing:  a retro drum machine that uses synthesized rather than sampled sounds.  Simple to use, sounds good and it's all of $12:

I'd be all over it if they would allow an upgrade price for the physical media. Don't know why that should be so difficult really, but there you go. So Omnisphere 1 it is for those whose available d/l speeds mean that they would lose the will to live before they ever got to use v2.

Could you use someone else's omni 2 usb drive to do the install and then just use the upgrade serial to register it?

Brilliant. I've been using manalyzer and moscilloscope for a long time, and recently started using fabfilter q3 - but this looks like it will do what I need in one.

I'll give those videos a watch - thanks.  I'm familiar with the general operation as I use mxxx quite a bit which has helped with orientation - but there's a ton of new stuff in here that looks crazy powerful.

I've played around mpowersynth before and not been overly blown away as it always sounded a bit too "digital" to me, but just strapping a distortion effect between oscillator and filter in msoundfactory is giving me a much more satisfactory starting point.

I  saw Larry mentioned this in the melda update thread, but I think it's worth bringing this out in its own thread as this is looks like a real bargain at  €99 beta/intro imo.

It has a shed-load of synthesis options in there and look at the attached pic to see all the FX modules (inc mpowersynth too).

if you have ff stuff already, don't forget to check the personal upgrade offers in your account there

wasn't it supposed to be based on actual spend in a rolling 12 month window?

plus buying specops for $9 now should give ongoing access to upgrade to byome for $69 (that's what it shows in my account) - handy if you have an unused monthly voucher in the future

I must have imagined it, but I could swear I read Dirk had told someone that the vouchers were coming out after this sale.

dunno larry, the voucher ends on the 7th - that's the same day I got my voucher last month.
