Has anyone seen Midi Madness lower than $60?

Also offer your opinion on MM.

MM is nice enough, and it has some good features like the constantly changing freestyle mode, but if you feel you may want more from a helper app, it's worth checking out rapidcomposer. That's 33% off until the 30th - $133 for the full - and that does a shed load more: http://www.musicdevelopments.com

It's worth persevering with the interface if that puts you off initially, as you can go as deep or shallow as you want/need. I wish I'd done this sooner rather than buying a bunch of lighter-weight helper apps, as it would have saved me money.

Rapidcomposer is really great. The developer has a forum here and is very responsive to fixes and suggestions. Updated regularly for years.

For simple bare-bones chords and scales inspiration rather than generating sequences, the InstaSeries bundle is cheap right now and might be worth a punt

Does anyone know if spitfire audio normally have sales in January? What about the other big names like native instruments?

Spitfire usually does a Wish List sale at Xmas - put items on your wish list and get personalized coupons for them. That's probably your best bet for the deepest discount - I think last year it was 40%?

Native Instruments... is having a sale right now.

Thanks for your input.
RapidComposer seems like a very capable program.
The cost and complexity of the RapidComposer is the deal breaker for me.

Im in the same situation and it seems to have not gotten lower and not many at all carry this plugin

Rapid composer seems more complex and great but too fiddly for my taste and ugly. Im a sucker for nicer guis and workflow and not a 2nd daw....

I am afraid that when I buy MidiMadness for $59 the next day it will appear on vstbuzz for $9.95.
I would buy without hesitation for 19.95.

I am glad RapidCompoaser was suggested earlier but I am in agreement with you that it may be too complicated at least for me.

20% off at Embertone, Friedlander violin for $79.20... is that likely to be the cheapest high quality solo violin that doesn't require the full version of Kontakt? Any 3rd party sellers for additional discount/rewards? I'm waiting on the annoying "new deal every 8 hours" thing from Audioplugin.deals....

Embertone strings bundle is on sale now at APD. Great stuff.

Maybe the mixedinkey Captin plugins will suit you, simplified compared to RC but still powerful and reasonably priced, some of the Windows versions are still to be released but you'll receive them when they are.

Will consider Captain Chords next time they are on sale.
Thanks for the suggestion.

[Feelshallright]

So many deals, hard to choose.

Morphestra 2 at 149$ is a really great deal for all the quality stuff included.

I am also interested in Captain Chords. Do they ever have a sale? I did some research and didn't see anything. Only ADSR and MixedinKey carries them. ADSR has a sale going on but CP is excluded.

There was nothing over Black Friday and I don't recall them going on sale

MixedInKey is the developer of Captain Chords. They don’t do sales. You get a discount if you have/buy Odesi but that’s it.

This sale is both a blessing and a curse - there are so many options. I think I’ve narrowed things down to the Albion orchestras, which I’ve just seen are on sale. IYO what is the most ‘laid back’ library? I predominantly compose minimalist ambient, drones, atmospheres etc. So I guess I’m after soft articulations, massive room tone etc. To my ears, after listening to some demos, Albion V Tundra appears to be the one best suited for this - can anyone who provide further clarification?

Edit, moved to relevant forum viewtopic.php?f=42&t=515376

Cyber Monday arrived at last in Waves (I knew it would happen!) with some
great deals for Mercury ($1,999), Horizon ($299) etc. and many more 29ers.
AND: Shop Two plugins get 1 free (from Waves, not from us)
AND: H-comp in exchange for your email.

It's all here baby: http://everyplugin.com/waves-cyber-monday-deals.html

Did I miss something? What does H-Comp free mean?

at least they offer a 30 day money back guarantee - which I ended up using. I wish more developers would offer this as I'd be more willing to take a punt.
