Has anyone here ever heard of (or purchased from) a website called plugados.com? They have slate trigger 2 there for $49, but I’ve never seen plugados mentioned here, and i haven’t seen trigger go on sale yet for BF anywhere else.

We will have it for sale for $49 (plus discounts in cart) in about 10 hours:

I appreciate the heads up!

lol I think Korg has reached the bottom of the barrel with the 3 synths added to make up Korg Collection 4

microKORG, ELECTRIBE-R and KAOSS PAD.

Just logged into my account as a Korg Collection 3 owner...

You can upgrade KORG Collection to the latest version at $99 (75% off)

Errrm... nope.

Plugin Boutique is now offering the Cherry Audio CA2600 synth as a free with any purchase option.

Somebody slap me if I fall for another "exclusive" deal.

ha, I only bought that last month for $12... totally ripped off

I paid $3 more than you!

j/k...I'm only a little salty about it.

You should call and see if they will credit you the $3, if not the full $15. Go full-on Karen mode on them.

It's in no way cheap ,.. not even when discounted

Awesome, thanks for letting me know you used it. Happy Thanksgiving!

Kind of surprised at their choice of synths on this as well. $50 would sweeten the deal more, but $99 upgrade? Eh.

The electribe on desktop doesn’t even make sense. It’s a groove box. It made a lot of sense on iOS though. Touchscreen or tactile control makes all the difference. SMH

The Trigger Hold on the hardware's Motion Sequencer makes it a great idea machine. Probably less cool in a plugin and certainly not worth the price (find a real one for cheaper!) but worth trying.

Yeah I’ve already got the iOS versions of the Electribe and KAOSS pad so $99 for a microKorg is beyond silly. I’m sure someone will love these and tbh I’m pretty happy there’s nothing in it I want as Black Friday can lead to enough hard choices about where to spend your money.

Can you integrate the iOS version with your DAW?

Can you integrate the iOS version with your DAW?

I suppose that depends on your hardware, DAW, and how you want to integrate it.

You can connect a class complaint interface (no driver) to your iPhone or iPad.
If you're on macOS, there's Apple IDAM.
There's iConnectivity hardware.
There's also apps like audiomux (hit or miss, many struggle with it) and open source options for doing MIDI over Wi-Fi, bluetooth, etc. (latency potential).

EDIT: I forgot to mention Ableton Link, which isn't just for Ableton anymore - https://www.ableton.com/en/link/

Exactly! For $50 I'd get it for the MicroKorg, but for $99 I'd expect Opsix and Wavesix to be included as well. Either way I already have more synths than I need though so it's better for my wallet.

I’m guessing their reason for not including wavestate and opsix is that they’re technically based on newer hardware synths, therefore not “legacy.” I agree, though. If they included those two I would’ve purchased the upgrade for sure. Personally I just can’t rationalize that kind of cash for them presently. However, I did just score voltage modular and their year 3 collection for under $98 total, so I have that to keep me busy for a while.

Which of the Spitfire libraries is the best deal at the moment?
