At the risk of revisiting something that's already been visited a lot, I'll mention that Amplitube 5 is on sale for $49, or $35 if you have Jam Points.
Can also be had at Thomann for $44.
https://www.thomannmusic.com/ik_multime ... tube_5.htm
Amplitube can act as a wrapper that adds the missing bits for Tonex, for those that were concerned about that. I already own Amp4 from one of their insane promos years ago, and acquired almost all of the pieces of Amp5 in the last group buy, but am thinking about getting it anyhow, for the missing reverbs.

Robotic Bean Portatron at APD for $29.99, but I got it today for $26.10 with code TACO10. That code is just for today, Tuesday, Jan 24, 2023. Massive deal at this price.

I’ve found the FAST ones tend to do a better job (at least on my stuff) than the other, but I’d guess YMMV. Both made by Sonible but I’ve noticed results are different.
Also does anybody know how Fast Limit compares to Smart Limit, if they're both made by Sonible I would think Fast Limit would be on par and with the 70% code for £25 seems a good deal if it's as good

All good. Looks like I have the free "CS" version.Uncle E wrote: ↑Mon Jan 23, 2023 5:33 pmSorry, getting back to this late because I just figured it out myself. In the IK Product Manager, find TONEX and click Products just below it. That will show you which version you own. Sorry if you've already figured that out or if it's not the question you were asking.lightsfadelow wrote: ↑Sat Jan 21, 2023 5:13 pm I have to ask a stupid, lazy question about Tonex. I recently bought IKMM Total Studio MAX and the IK Product Manager lists Tonex as an installable product even though the products listed ans included in TS3.5MAX don’t include Tonex.

So I got Audio Assaults Echo Verb and Echo Vibe, also Audio Blasts Blast Delay for $10 ea.
I think they are all pretty good and worth a ten spot.
Blast delay is on sale at Audio Plugin Deals, the AA stuff was direct. There is an issue with
the Echo units as they share the same VST3 UID currently, most DAWs wont list them both
as VST3, it's a minor issue and has been reported.
Also liking the Red Rock Sound Pultec and API style eqs which can be had for $15 ea currently,
but you can only get them by signing up at Bootsy.to and setting up Paypal payments. It's
kind of a pain, but I liked them well enough to do it, tho I removed my Paypal payment
method after purchasing since it's set up as an automatic payment which you have no control over
since Paypal sucks.
The RRS guys are in a bind currently without much in the way of options for payment processing
unfortunately, so that is the way it is. You can choose to support them or not once you understand
that these things are beyond their control.

Just wishful thinking on my part.
Late 2022 Arturia added coldfire for IIRC $20 to the FX bundle for a total of $120.
I did not bite as I only want Fragments and Coldfire.
If my dream combo never happens I can live with it or should I say without it.

Efx FRAGMENTS and Dist COLDFIRE are probably Arturia's best FX Collection plugins (IMO of course).

Reading and reviewing the above plugin suggestions now I am regretting that I did not get the $120 deal.Kalamata Kid wrote: ↑Thu Jan 26, 2023 7:33 pmI am going to wait for a Fragment and Coldfire combo sale.jones-y wrote: ↑Mon Jan 23, 2023 3:33 pm Arturia Efx Fragments on sale at APD for $49

Arturia I hope will have a "by popular demand" a 72 hour sale soon for those that regretted not getting the $120 deal the first time it was offered. Again wishful thinking. Or a $59, 48 hour crazy Fragment and Coldfire combo sale. Again wishful thinking. Perhaps only to those that already own an Arturian plugin?
