Hornet has biggest discount sale I am aware of by now.
I.e. little mix helpers focused on one task and giving instant results
are ranging in the 2-3 Euro section.
Want a working Wah Wah on Rhodes, Wurli, Gtrs?
Slap his incarnation in and you are done ... next.

The best sales from HoRNet are at the end of November (Black Friday/Cyber Monday) when they have 70% discount on individual plugins (except recently released plugins) and 40% off bundles.

That being said, even at their regular price, these plugins are fairly low cost with quite a bit of value.

I successfully applied the discount on Thursday to see if it worked, but yesterday when I went to purchase it told me that it wasn't available to me. So, I think it originally worked for everyone but because people were sharing it they restricted it to people who got the rack trial deal.

Oh, I got it. Makes sense...

I nearly bought it the day it was posted here as the rack version is a steal at that price and figured it might not last.
But I decided to research it more first and I can’t find a way to control or automate the parameters via MIDI CC. Is there a way?

however, I think that Japanese site (I think it has been removed) was listed as a "Linplug Partner" on the old website, it was listed at the bottom of the pages:

Can't vouch for seller as not used them but Bax Music UK have Pioneer RM-05 monitors at £175 each (the next cheapest new price I could find was £310 at gear4music)

I've used Bax in the past and vouch for them. They are a well known Dutch music store.

Thanks Vleker that's good to hear!

If I was looking for new small monitors I'd be pretty tempted by that deal!

IK Multimedia "Syntronik Deluxe Upgrade" is only 35 EUR after using JamPoints. I really don't need anymore synths (haven't even installed Syntronik), but this deal is pretty tempting - adding 5 new synths and 500+ presets. The audio demos sound really good though. I wonder if it is worth grabbing it mainly for this no-brainer price, or is Syntronik Max around the corner?

Curious about this as well....

You answered it already. Just because it's a favorable price, doesn't make it a favorable purchase. Stop buying junk just because it's on sale.

What DAW do you use? They are definite automatable. Touch the knob then use your DAW's assign to CC or whatever.

I don't think SampleTank or IKM make junk. Its a decent deal if you don't have legacy synths and aren't invested already in a similar software ecosystem.

so what are peoples thoughts on the UVI string machines sale? 40% off.

I am sure he did not mean it literally and I definitely did not agree to the "junk" part.
IK Multimedia content is high-quality and sounds awesome. Installation of sound content is a pain though, which I am experiencing right now.
