Ordered a Korg Ms20 Mini white Monotone limited edition for $445 which is a bargain in my country where it usually cost $685.

At the beginning of this year, I budgeted $350 to get some things that I needed. I didn't get everything that I wanted, but I got a lot of stuff--almost all on sale. I picked up the following:

Translator 6 Pro
A new SSD hard drive
Kuassa Caliburn
XotoPad
TX16Wx Pro
Thesys
DrumDrops Drumkits (x3)
Samples from Mars (Everything bundle for $39)

I went a little over budget ($361) but I estimated that if I bought everything at normal everyday prices it would have cost me about $1500. The Samples from Mars Everything bundle would normally cost about $1000 by itself. I'm not sure I'll use everything. It looks like there are lots of synth loops. But the sampled instruments will more than make up the cost of $39--easy!

Overall, I had a pretty good haul. I probably won't be able to get anything else until my birthday or father's day, so I had to make things count. :-)

So far I am loving SLOO from Tim Exile - highly playable and extremely mad - and with full NKS integration it does crazy things with my S Series keyboard lightguide.

I'm curios what you think of SLOR? I watched a couple short videos and SLOR seems like its capable of even more interesting results...
I bought that too but it has a few bugs in Komplete Kontrol that render it useless in KK - I can use it as a Reaktor effect still and it does sound amazing, but would like to also be able to use it in KK as I can SLOO.
Thanks! Yeh, I'd be using it in KK too. Hope he fixes it. I'm on the fence about SLOR even at the sale price...

Lovely old British compressor emulation...
an alternative to the well worn LA2/1176 type of thing.
Can be a dirty old b4std if pushed.. tried the demo on a couple of loops.. instant buy and was not even on my radar.

Amongst quite a few others, BlueCat MB-7 and Late Replieswill get the most regular use
- Thomann had a great sale price and so far I am very pleased with how good they are

and also updated Melodyne to Studio - the improved audio editing is incredibly useful to me

I held back quite a bit this year - I've spent a lot over the last couple of years since I retired from a "regular" job and now just work on interesting projects (paid and unpaid). There aren't that many sound libraries that give me more than I already have, I don't want anymore synths, so FX are about it and I am now covered for everything conventional.

Update from my previous post, I just caved and purchased the update to the full output instruments. Only other thing that I am interested in has not been released yet but we should see a beta in a few weeks (uhe Spring reverb).

I could fix it myself if EDIT mode was not locked :(

I actually thought I had overcome GAS, but ended up caving and updating my old Studio One licence for a silly amount which I intend to replace logic with when I switch platforms on the death of my current and last iMac. I also picked up the Toontrack EZkeys string machine and Dream Pop MIDI....so all up, less than $100 and some handy gear...
