I rarely get anything new, but just picked up my first Cherry Audio synths. ESQ-1, Mercury-6 and Trident Mk III.

I recently picked up Xils Lab PolyM, The Eighty and PolyKB III. Had my eye on them for a while but got them recently because of discounted rate....

I don't expect to buy anything new. I'll upgrade stuff I already have... so Zebra 3.

Cherry Audio Polymode.

EDIT: Just noticed this was in the instruments section. Not buying any instruments, I have more than enough with my like 8 paid ones

Gave myself a $100 budget a month starting in June to get setup where I need it to, and also support more devs who support Linux.

I got the FRCTL Audio suite of plugins - DLAY, GRN, and SWRL.
All have super wide and musical sweet spots. Pleased! All three will be staples in my productions for a while.

Now I'm trying to get my bus processing and mastering-esque chains together.
So far I bought:

Maximizer w/ clipper - Venomode Maximal 3
EQ - Remanence Audio IRON GLASS
Fattener - Big Man Labs Big Pump

LATEST BUY - Korneff KA1176

I have like ~$50 to spend for the rest of July. Probably TDR Special Filters, or...? TBD.

I bought the Multi/Poly plugin, and it’s pretty awesome

I wanted to get that one. Oh well, maybe in the future.

I’ve got both this and Xils PolyM, which I recently picked up (it’s available for 31 dollars at Thomann), and I have to say I much prefer the PolyM.

Recently I went for IKM's Total Studio Max V2 Maxgrade just for the sense of completion, even though I had participated in the Group Buy a few months back.

This year I had been favoring Linux-native plugins (but out of frustration and practicality am back on Windows for music-making and some other apps such as Clip Studio Paint), so aside from the recent Maxgrade:

Four Tracktion Retromod synths from JRRShop
Collective 2 and Biotek 3 upgrades directly from Tracktion
Miniraze and two preset banks directly from MOK
A three-synth bundle directly from Audio Damage (Continua, Phosphor 3, Quanta 2)
A few preset packs for Chromaphone 3 directly from Applied Acoustics

Currently on the fence about whether to upgrade to Reason 14 or to sub to Reason+ for a year, on this our "swiftly tilting planet". Might sub to UAD Spark and/or UVI SoundPass, but not sure. So indecisive!

I will be buying Synth Stack 6 by Cherry Audio. Getting it for 64 dollars. I'll wait a couple of weeks until I'm on holiday though.
