The updated sampler in Bitwig seems awesome, but I'm not going to upgrade Bitwig until the end of September, when they offer a free plugin for the renewal.

Updated list compiled by looking at the dates these were added to my plugin folder. Holy Smokes this ended up being way more than expected!!! But from a cost perspective, one really nice hardware unit would have probably cost more.
These were all targeted additions for adding character to tracks/busses and upping the mastering toolkit. Probably tested and discarded 4x more plugins than were acquired. So this is probably it for the year unless something really compelling gets released:
After years of mostly avoiding hardware emulations, I went on a tear acquiring character stuff for mix duties:
Relab 176
Pulsar MDN Sidecar
Grit Blender
Korneff Pawn Shop Comp
Korneff 1776
Korneff Amplified Instrument Processor
Korneff Sitral
ALA-101 Hybridization preamp
Fuse Audio Tube Lab
Voost N Channel
Voost Material Comp
Ramping up the mastering chain:
Buzz Cut
Iron Glass Mastering EQ
Relab Maselec MLA-4
Sabol Hill Lacuna
Pulsar Medusa
Uni-L
One instrument:
UVI Rumble
And the best purchase of the year by far - Mesanovic CDM65 monitors
IDK what else I'd even want or need at this point... feels like I'm basically GAS'd out.

Well did buy Cherry Audio Synth Stack. Spent the day with Yellowjacket. Very nice and now with poly too. Going to play with the other new synths, but take my time.
