If you didn't already get the Soundtoys Little Plate, do yourself a favor. It's pretty much amazing.

Or for me, every day should end like this!

I owned all the freebies + EchoBoy Jr so my upgrade to the V5 bundle is $70. That's merely dollars per plugin.

i'm almost sure SoundToys 6 is gonna be released soon. Then such deep discounts would make sense, since the upgrade to 6 would be another 100-150 and they would not lose anything.

From what i can tell v4 came out in 2010, v5 came out in 2016. Make of that what you will but it implies v6 is a long way off yet. They also had quite a significant grace period on the last upgrade too.

More likely, i reckon, is that they'll have another major plugin out soon with a discounted crossgrade for existing bundle owners.

Ok, that makes sense, too. But surely they will have something new soon. Maybe the big brother of Plate.

What's the best way to get whole bundle if I don't have any of the freebies? Do I get a discount for the upgrade if I get any of the singles right now?

While I already own Soundtoys 5, if I were to get it now and I did not have anything yet, I would look at getting it used for $200-$250 USD (based on past sales I've seen on KVR). I don't think you could get it for any less.

To answer your second question, you do get a discount based on what you currently own, but I don't think you could get it for anything close to $200.

Many were able to get a great deal by jumping on-board their "Pay What You Wish” promotion in December 2015 where you could get Little Radiator, Little PrimalTap, Little MicroShift and Devil-Loc for as little as $1.

When I upgraded to Soundtoys 5 in in July 2016 during an upgrade sale, I had gotten 3 of the 4 plugins during the "Pay What You Wish” promotion plus one freebie (Little AlterBoy 5 on March 2015), and my upgrade was $135. If I would have paid $1 for the 3 plugins, total investment would have been $138 US. If someone would have gotten all 4 plugins (and no freebie), they probably would have had the same $135 upgrade promotional price.

EDIT: For reference, I've just checked my account and I have 4 plugins in my account in addition to Soundtoys 5 (EchoBoy Jr., Little Plate, Sie-Q, and Tremolator) and my upgrade fee is $170 as part of their current 50% off upgrade sale.

fwiw, last April I only had tremolator and sie-q, both of which I got for free during promos. I bought the upgrade to the full bundle for $169 which only showed tremolator as the upgrade path.

Thanks for your answers guys!

I'm not sure if whole bundle for 200$+ is overkill for me since I already have a lot of functionally overlapping plugins. I'll need to think about it, but in the end I think I'll maybe buy just Crystallizer.

For completeness' sake, here are my individual upgrade options for the Soundtoy 5 Bundle:

Upgrade EchoBoy Jr. to Soundtoys 5: Reg. $429 On Sale: $209
Upgrade Little Plate to Soundtoys 5: Reg. $429 On Sale: $209
Upgrade Sie-Q to Soundtoys 5: Reg. $429 On Sale: $209
Upgrade Tremolator to Soundtoys 5: Reg. $399 On Sale: $199

In other words, there doesn't seem to be a big difference between individual upgrades to the bundle and the trade-in of my particular plugins and the bundle at $170 (mentioned earlier). Please note that if you have different plugins, it could be a different upgrade offer.

In 2017 I was offered $190 for the Soundtoys 5 Bundle
Today I checked and again it was $190.
Very tempting.
