Need some suggestions for good 80s sounds. (Also good discussion on 80s music too)

According to AudioPluginDeals, "After completing your order, $19.99 will be instantly added to your Rewards Wallet which you can use for any product in The Shop." So, it's pretty much free!

I don't think i'd agree with that. Spending that "rewards money" isn't as easy as that. Each product has a base price, you can use rewards money upto the base price. TBH i have about $100 of "rewards money" but haven't found anything to spend it on yet. I wouldn't call it free money, it's more like those Mcdonalds discount vouchers that you get on the back of bus-tickets.

That's fair. Their price on PPG Wave 3.V was pretty good, but their prices on other things are quite convoluted. So while you might get $19.98 in credits, they seem to be worth different amounts at different times -- or on different products. It isn't very clear (at least, not to me) what good the credits in the "wallet" do. I have some "$84.99" in credits, but I can't even get anything for that.

It's true they do some good offers at times!

Having read these six pages, it's obvious people have different opinion on what the 80s sound is, though few would argue with, say DM belonging to the group. I for one would also include Laurie Anderson, and, even more so, Kate Bush and Peter Gabriel. These were all innovative, in the synthesizer-meets-pop genre. I strongly agree with the PPGWave. For the one looking for free stuff and doesn't like the DX7, I suggest looking at the free Syntronik from IK Multimedia. For a freebie, its a gem. https://www.ikmultimedia.com/products/s ... ronik-free

What's even more interesting is IK Multimedia's current super-group buy: up to 25 products for the price of one! As I understand it, this means you can get all the included 80s synths for, well, the price of one, so like 60 bucks for the whole enchilada. (It's currently 15 products free.)
