Audiobus: Use your music apps together.
What is Audiobus? — Audiobus is an award-winning music app for iPhone and iPad which lets you use your other music apps together. Chain effects on your favourite synth, run the output of apps or Audio Units into an app like GarageBand or Loopy, or select a different audio interface output for each app. Route MIDI between apps — drive a synth from a MIDI sequencer, or add an arpeggiator to your MIDI keyboard — or sync with your external MIDI gear. And control your entire setup from a MIDI controller.

Black Friday Deals 2019. (Desktop Software)
It appears that Black Friday has started early on the desktop! Got the Arturia V Collection Deal for £99 last year as I owed a few already.

Bedroom Producers freebies

I finally grabbed V Collection, too. Unfortunately no deal on Pigments. I missed the email when it was $69 so I was hoping for a sale.
Now I'm waiting for Komplete upgrades.
So far, the best source of deals (list) is some guy at VI-Control: https://vi-control.net/community/threads/tiger-the-frogs-alphabetical-list-of-november-2019-sales.86694/
Hope HG sounds have some deals. Loved their group buy a few months back.
I think HG Sounds has a new group buy happening now
Oh blimey, thanks for that!

Some good Black Friday deals on Plugin Boutique: https://www.pluginboutique.com/deals/index?s=discount_desc
For example, Akai VIP 3 - $20 (85% off)
Just picked up the new MidiQ chord melody Plugin for £8.99 it's a blast to use. Good to see more midi generator apps coming to desktop hope the flow continues as use them all the time on iOS.
Yeah, I saw it and it looked really interesting so I added it to my wish list - before buying anything, I just want to see what other deals will be available this weekend. Hopefully, there will be many more
VIP is such a super underrated plug. Got on board a few months ago.👌🏾
The eventide/newfangled audio mastering bundle, Elevate is on sale for $99 or $49 if you have any of the licenses in your ilok. That would include the eq freebie from a few years back or through focusrite.

Audiofier veevum £49 + vat
https://www.kontakthub.com/product/veevum-audiofier-kontakt/
Anyone use this? I demoed it a while back but wasn't completely sold. I wonder if things have improved by now.
curious as well
I’ve played around with the ADSR browser, looked at the loopmasters one, would consider seriously XLN Audio XO or Atlas https://www.algonaut.tech/ (50% off, $49.99). Atlas has been seeing updates this year and there’s also a trial.
I have Atlas. Both that and XO are different from Sononym. I also have ADSR browser which is cool, but doesn’t claim to be as comprehensive.
Xln xo is currently on sale for 89€/$, they sent out personal voucher codes the other day, some ended up in people’s spam folders. I didn’t get one but got intouch with support who got back really quickly with the code, pre black friday sale ends tomorrow 21st, sposed to be better then the black friday official sale.
@yug Picked VIP up yesterday for about £13 after using some of my Plugin Boutique points good find. Fills a few holes for me and helps with workflow finding the right sound combos. Can’t for the life of me get the vst to show up in Ableton or Logic Pro though. It’s therein Reason and Bitwig so definely I stalked as checked my components and vst folders strange.
VSTs don’t work in Logic, your install should have came with AU version also though.
Native Instruments is doing their 50% sale now. Just grabbed my upgrade to Komplete 12 Ult Collector's Edition!
Oh no I don’t want to hear that !
Tempted by Kontakt and also Reaktor
I again refer back to my earlier post with the link to the other forum that has up to date sales info on a ton of stuff
It's getting harder and harder to not get something, but I have most everything I want/need (no sales yet on the ones that would tempt me most). I'm trying to save up for an XD Module in Jan so this season is not helping!
Hoping for a deal on Ableton Live. Do they happen?
I see we are on the VI-Control list, though here is the worldwide link for the Happy Holi-deals promo we are running (we've already added some great deals to it and who knows - there may be more): https://www.ikmultimedia.com/news/index.php?id=happyholideals2019
