https://vstalarm.com/product/weekend-fm-for-serum-by-patchmaker-limited-time-free/ I bought this as part of a bundle once. I really like many of the presets. It has 70 presets for Serum. Demo-Track:

Any update on this? I can imagine that it's KONTAKT, because KONTAKT crashes my DAW a lot.

I see the following selection:

Btw. you can find coupons for their shop on couponbirds.com. Some are even stackable.

https://karanyisounds.com/shop-on-sale/ Up to 70% off according to their banner, but some are even reduced more, like Synths DX for $5 instead of $39. I have no idea how long their sale lasts.

Really impressive. It sounds so real.

Thanks. Yes well, I guess it's not for me then. I'm actually middle-aged. I'm 50. Just into more modern music.

I got Retromania at the intro price. I think it was $15. It's not bad, if you don't mind that it's a Rompler. All the presets are usable, very genre-typical sounds for Retrowave/Synthwave. There's also a free Lite version with less presets: https://www.audiolatry.com/retromania-lite/ YouTube demo of the full version: https://youtu.be/Bfuhl1DFRs4?si=YdvplMXOlo26SP7I

It's one of the many products that I got with Total Studio 3.5 MAX. I didn't pay it much attention because that type of instrument sounds so old school to me, like it's got this 70ies TV quiz show background music vibe, I can't imagine it in a modern production. What kind of genres does one use it for? I see it's very popular here, so I guess I underestimated it's potential.

Aren't they all a little early to celebrate 808 day? ? ADSR has plenty of 808-related offers: https://www.adsrsounds.com/software-developer/limited-time-bundle/ Like this little gem from Black Octopus, if you like buying sample packs: https://www.adsrsounds.com/product/presets/black-octopus-bundle-808-day-8-packs-for-8/ 8 packs for just €8.65. Probably among the cheapest items you can buy on ADSR to get the freebie.

Now that I have the Everything Bundle I've only tested a tiny fraction of all the new presets, but so far I like quite a lot of the presets. I added almost every preset from Bluffmunkey's expansions for Synthmaster 1 to my favs. Big Tone's Analog Basics 1 and 2 for Synthmaster 2 has plenty of gems. So true. The demo tracks and descriptions give quite a good impression of the expansions, since they're only made of those presets, except for the drums usually. What I like about the expansion demo tracks that they have on Soundcloud is that quite a lot of them have the names of the presets that were used in the track comments, assigned to the track timeline where they're used. That's astonishingly little. Have you really tested all presets? After having read what you wrote I had another look at the factory presets and actually found quite a lot usable. There's a Soundcloud playlist and a YouTube playlist with demos of the factory presets that they've made for Synthmaster 2, with tracks demonstrating their use across various genres: Expansion playlist on Soundcloud for Synthmaster 2: Expansion playlist on Soundcloud for Synthmaster 1:

$9.99 at thenatan.store with TAWUS999 But might still be worth getting it at ADSR Sounds for the Melda Production freebie.

Oh. Of course. ? Seems so obvious, now that you mention it.

But that's not even their best offer. I've got 24 of those plugins that are in the $29 list and have paid roughly $6.50 per plugin in average. It's best to wait for their Megasales, make use of dynamic discounts with 6 or more products, wait for their no-minimum spend vouchers.

All the Samples is currently on sale for $59. You can get 10% off with the coupon code "SNACKS". If someone has one of those upgrade coupon codes and doesn't need it, I'd love to have it.

Ooooh! ?

Those prices are 70% off?! ? Money must be funny in a rich man's world.

Crazy. I just realized that as an owner of Synthmaster 1 + 2 I could use the Upgrade to the Everything Bundle for $99 and with the coupon code YMLP10OFF I could even reduce it to $79.20. Holymoly. $79.20 for 52 expansions plus an upcoming new version of the synth and apparently also all future expansions, that's not bad, I would say.

At https://www.dharmaworldwide.com/, the official shop from KSHMR, everything is currently at half the price, templates even 60% off. From the newsletter: Summer is in full swing, and to celebrate we're kicking off our 2023 summer sale Get 50% off all KSHMR sound packs & plug-ins, and 60% off all Dharma Studio sound packs & templates. For a limited time, enjoy: 50% off Sounds of KSHMR Volume 4 Complete Edition [now $49.99] 50% off KSHMR Reverb [now $24.99] 50% off KSHMR Essentials [now $19.99] 50% off all other KSHMR products 60% off all Dharma Studio sound packs & templates

Currently the best coupon code for the producer bundle seems to be PRODUCER30. It gives you a 30€ discount.

They seem to have removed the coupon code. It worked when I wrote my post but I guess it was a mistake on their side and when they noticed that the coupon code is still available they've disabled it.

It's actually a bundle that consists of 43 packs. One shots, loops, MIDI patterns. Tons of them. So it's like a quarter Euro per pack now. What I like about some of them is that they've categorised the drum loops/MIDI patterns into song sections like intro, chorus, break. Great help for a noob like me who has no clue how a drummer would play certain song sections.

Now even less! The sale price has been lowered to €45,95, so now it's €11,49 with MT75. That's a crazy good deal. Too bad I already bought it for €23. ? But it's okay, I still got a whole lot for my money, so I can't complain.

I can't answer that question but I would like to use it as an opportunity to praise Arturia's feature that allows you to test expansions that you don't even own yet from inside your DAW by going to "Store" and clicking on any expansion that you're interested in. I just recently discovered it and it blew my mind. I wish other synths offered that too. Hearing a preset as a single note like in Synthmaster's preset browser that they offer on their website doesn't give you a real impression of the preset compared to being able to test it with your own keyboard or MIDI tracks.

Good to know. I wasn't aware of that. I didn't see that information on their page. However, for people who don't want to spend $89 on presets, I think it's a nice option to get 10 packs for $24. Also, with Synthmaster 3 coming soon they might not create a lot of new expansions for Synthmaster 2 in the future.
