Anybody have an idea where I can get the Air Instrument Expansion Pack 3 Complete Upgrade deal for $62.00?

Thanks.

BBC

I believe it was a Black Friday offer but still cannot recall which seller it was.
There may be some additional discount offered on the final day of the sale.

Hi Kalamata Kid.

Thanks for your kind response.

BBC

found my notes

If you got the Air Xpand!2 for $1.00
it qualifies you to get the
AIR MUSIC TECH AIR INSTRUMENT EXPANSION PACK 3 COMPLETE UPGRADE
https://www.jrrshop.com/air-music-tech- ... te-upgrade.

Eric may put it up for sale again at $75 then give an additional discount in the cart.

MMorph's alternative is Zynaptiq Morph2.

Would be great to compare them and other similar plugins.
Any time samples are stacked or layered or combined or morphed I get excited!
But need to find the one that appeals to me to make ambient music.

Then you simply have to try Zynaptiq Adaptiverb.

Excellent plugin!
Yep, on my list to get on a Super Sale.

in bang for buck terms, Trash 2 is a whole heap more than just the headline distortion/saturation - it has filters, multi-band compressor/gate, convolution and delay.

I was going to comment on this as well. I really like Trash 2. While I'm not in love with Mobius, it is a nice bonus. I have stutter edit and DDLY as well, and out of the two offers, I think that Trash 2 + mobius is the better value.

If I had about $100 to spend and didn't have the Air bundle, my decision would be over.

XPand2! for $1
Air bundle for $75
Trash 2 + Mobus for $29

With additional discounts you could probably get this all below $100.

Vacuum Pro does indeed sounds good but prefer to work with samples. PolyKB III gotta say sound great! What is the lowest price?

The Air Instrument Expansion Pack 3 deal is hard to pass up. I saw it as low as $62 somewhere. Perhaps I should have grabbed it. The sale end on Jan 31 2017 I believe.

I haven't seen PolyKB III available anywhere but on their site, where the intro price is 119€ until January 21st. (Actually, until "January 21th", according to them ). Not as cheap as I'd like, but probably the best it'll be, and great sounding synth. Going to demo it shortly and decide for real.

I prefer NOT to work with samples, except for drums, we all have our different approaches

If you only listened to Vacuum Pro out of the AIEP, you really should check out Loom, incredible instrument IMO.

Check Hybrid too. Its design doesn't make it seem like anything special, but it. just. sounds. great.

Lowest I've seen for the AIEP upgrade is $75, maybe someone else knows.

PolyKB III

If you have reward points on PluginBoutique you can generate a 90% off code for some of the individual AIR pack instruments (select the 'Rewards+' menu item from the top menu when you're logged in). The only instruments I wanted from the AIR pack were Loom and Hybrid, and you can get them for about £10 each this way.

Interesting that you like Trash 2 over Stutter Edit.
Stutter Edit was suggested to me as a rhythmizer. Yea it can do a lot more.
I am not excited about either but my thinking was that I may find more uses for Stutter Edit as I get into it. On the other hand I like to transform my audio and Trash 2 will be useful here and it seems way simpler to use. I do primarily Ambient. I need to decide within the next 30 hours. For me $29 or $49 is an amount I can afford as I did not spend it all on Black Friday.

It's really more about where I think the value is. I have stutter edit. I just don't find it as useful as some might imagine. To be clear, it is up my alley and I have all of the iZotope stuff save the more expensive RX tools. Trash 2, OTOH, really surprised me about how useful an effect it is and how great it sounds. Also, you Mobius for free and you can still get DDLY free until tomorrow from Focusrite.

I demoed Melda Mpowersynth on a whim and let me tell you this thing is amazing. I bought it right after playing with it for a few hours. Totally blown away. It comes with 1500 presets and a smart randomizer. The thing is thing can sound so vastly different. It has 100 filters, a crazy awesome arp and the fx processor built in it is basically Melda MXXX.

It is still on 50% on sale so anyone thinking of getting anything I would definitely consider this or just grab the demo and play around with it a couple hours. $100 off is a great deal too!

Reviewed both Stutter Diet and Trash 2. I am beginning to agree with you. No, more like I agree with you. In any case I have Tantra. Perhaps wait for Trash 3?

Trash 2 is now an even greater value! Every purchase of Trash automatically includes our two expansion packs, Classic Textures and Edge, totally free!


And where is Mobius?

I already have DDLY.

If one's into ambient, I''d also point out that the Sandman Pro is still 50% off at Plugin Alliance, https://www.plugin-alliance.com/en/prod ... n_pro.html$49 well spent I reckon. The Air stuff is cool but pretty much always on sale at Plugin Boutique and elsewhere, so I'd get Xpand2 and pick that up later.

Only saying 'cause I've been messing with SP and Trash 2 for the last few hours and come up with some pretty cool sounds using the modular system on SP and adding some filter movement with T2.

Spent some more time checking out Sandman Pro. Very close in making a decision to buy it but my gut feeling tells me to go for Trash 2. It's a close call.
