Yesterday I bought Panman from Soundtoys for $59 and today they announce a price drop for Panman valid for the next 2 days. The cost for Panman today and tomorrow is $29 ..talk about bad timing.

I would suggest you talking with their support, they probably can handle it in a better way, maybe offer you a deal.

I did talk to the support and they were both nice and quick They refunded the balance to me straight away. So by this I just got myself the whole Soundtoys 5 bundle at a very good price.

[LGK_Dude]

what is the cheapest way to get the soundtoys5 bundle? They're offering panman for $29. Are there any upgrade/crossgrade path from that? Can't find any info on the website.

You need at least 2 plugins to 'upgrade' (trade in) to the bundle with discount.
If you have any of their freebies you can use those too. The more plugins you trade in, the more discount.
I have all their freebies and Microshift and can upgrade to the bundle for $105

WOW! Mine upgrade costs $145, and I own Little AlterBoy 5, Little Radiator 5, Sie-Q 5, Tremolator 5, Devil-Loc, Little MicroShift & Little PrimalTap. Wonder if purchasing pannman for $29 first might knock my price down to this $105 level?

I have Tremolator and Sie-Q and it only gives me the option to upgrade/surrender one of the licenses. I can do either Tremolator or Sie-Q, but not both. Can anyone do both at the same time?

It's weird. That's how it used to be for me. Now, however, when I go to purchase I can select the plugins that I want to trade in. The one thing that's changed is that I purchased EchoBoy when Sweetwater had their sale a while back and that is the first plugin from them that I've actually purchased and didn't get for free.

I have SiEQ, Tremolator, Little Altar Boy, and EchoBoy. Although I have EchoBoy Jr. as well as it came with EchoBoy, it's not a separate product.

What I find interesting is that they do not all offer the same discount. The best two product discount is from EchoBoy and LittleAltarBoy which gets me to $155. With all four I can get to $135. Tremolator and SiEQ each add $10 to the discount.

Without EchoBoy my discount price is $180 meaning that EchoBoy is responsible for $45 worth of discount. which is awesome, since I only paid $49 for it so I'm pretty much getting my money back if I go for the bundle.

But, this is about the third time that they've been on sale this year, AND, they have a history of giving away plugins once a year or so to drive new customer acquisition. So, I'll probably wait...again...

I don't know, but, I would guess that PanMan will probably not take $29 or more off the bundle price unless you don't have very many of their plugins, e.g., one or two.

Which doesn't surprise me one bit. There are some cool companies out there

[incubus]

Er, acid music studio 10? Hun? They skipped 7 through to 10? I didn't even know they still made it.

Yeah, I still use it for when I'm in the mood to paint music from bits and pieces. I'm not convinced that the pro version is worth the money though, IMHO, of course.

115$ for the bundle? That's a crazy price, no reason to wait in my opinion...

So I reached out to Soundtoys and I got the following response:

Hi there. I've heard some people on KVR forum are able to upgrade to the full bundle from multiple plugins, but my account only gives me the option to upgrade from either/or, but not both [Tremolator/SieQ]. Is there a way to allow this option for an ever better price on the total bundle? Thanks.

Hi Samuel,

Due to the way our upgrades work, some individual product upgrades are cheaper than some multi-product upgrades. Since our account system will only show you your best option, you aren't even seeing the multi-product upgrade listed (since it would be more expensive). Anyways, that $199 option is your best bet

Please let me know if you have any other questions.
My best,
Dan Rome

It's weird because there are some people that are able to use the same 2 licenses to upgrade that I have and get a better price.

[shidostrife]

I've seen crossgrade offers from Ozone to Neutron several times, but never saw the other way around. Has there been any in the past?

[ghettosynth]

It's weird because there are some people that are able to use the same 2 licenses to upgrade that I have and get a better price.

I can think of several possibilities. As I said before, it could be that the trade-in value varies depending on whether you purchased the plugin or got it for free. It could also be a function of when you got the plugin. Policies may change for whatever reason and so your trade-in price may also be a function of purchase date.

I don't know of course, I'm just guessing.

[VariKusBrainZ]

Plugin Alliance have another sale and for the first time I got a $50 voucher, I suspect possibly due the VAT happenings.

So since then I have considerably more PA plugins thanks to KVR market place, freebies and nice deals at distributors.

However this month I again only got $25 voucher so I'd say it's definitely dependent on how much you spend on their site as they have no idea how little I paid elsewhere compared to their crazy RRPs
