That is a damn nice free with purchase. By itself the lowest its ever been was $35. *decisions*
JRR had it once for $26 in 2024 🙂
11March 14, 2026 at 10:28 am in reply to: Get Baby Audio Parallel Aggressor for $5 (reg. $69) +FREE Plugin +Virtual Cash #1000044805This for me was one of those “it’s only $5 what can go wrong?” purchases. I’ll never use Parallel Aggressor I don’t think. AberrantDSP or Klevgrand fill that hole for me. Figured Zak Sounds Deep Waters as a freebie could be nice. I may be wrong but it seems pretty buggy. The xy pad, to my ears, does nothing. I wrote to him just to to get some clarification and will report back here if I get a reply.
He also has a video on his site (something about “better than a free plugin”) which I’ll leave you to draw your own conclusions on. Commenting on that here doesn’t seem appropriate but I know what I thought.
If I could I’d get my $5 back.
4Hi! Oops, sorry, I just did the same topic and a little more (I admit, I sometimes take a while to make a post and in the process someone else puts up the same deal). But I have an idea to make them both useful… Do you know anything about this plugin? I just shared the video for it. Is it something you’re interested in?
I know that you’re not prone to wasting money on unnecessary plugins!
The official LinkedMusicians account
Nah Pete. Not interested in it. For the most part on my guitars I’ll use Kuassa fuzzes. I have iZotope Trash but never use it. A good distortion plugin if you need one is the United Plugins one. I’d wait and get it on sale if it was me. That said, if there’s another plugin you’ve been thinking of getting then you’re getting Distiller free anyway so no harm right?
1February 11, 2026 at 11:56 am in reply to: 🔥🔥 Analog Drift for Only $6.30 (reg. $79) with Discount Code! 🔥🔥 #1000043062TL; DR VERSION
After being interested in this plugin since it went on sale for $9 — I posted the sale a little while back — I started researching it over time. I told myself that I wouldn’t buy it unless I could find a discount code that made it irresistible. Well, I just spent some time searching and trying discount codes, and yes, when I found one that brought the price down to $6.30, I immediately hit the buy button. Jump to the link to the developer’s site at the bottom of this post and you’ll find the discount code if you prefer to not read about my research process (which shows you what I learned).
THE RESEARCH PROCESS
I started with a Sound on Sound review, because, well, influencers are paid promoters. The only hope we have of honest reviews are with legitimate journalists, and in this industry, Sound on Sound is the truest to journalistic principles. Here’s a link to the SoundonSound review. I’ll just quote the final paragraph:
“Describing something as sounding ‘musical’ is a somewhat overused adjective, but in this case it’s absolutely apt. Analog Drift is easy to use, and can handle all the usual delay treatments, but it adds a few surprises of its own that add greatly to its creative potential and have already earned it a place in my ‘favourites’ plug‑in folder. ”

These two influencer videos gave me a good idea of the sound of the plugin when used with guitars and an electric piano. I especially like the chorus effect on Analog Drift.
Analog Drift on an electric guitar with various settings for around 20 minutes with no talking.
I realize that a lot of you think that big time endorsers are meaningless, but I disagree. This is a small developer that doesn’t have the money to shell out big money to influencers. Yes, they might spend a little money with micro influencers, but that’s not going to get a big name producer or engineer to give them an endorsement. My experience is that heavy-hitter producers and engineers that give testimonials to small developers really like the products. And this developer has some heavy-hitter endorsers for the plugin, for example:
Analog Drift is a great new addition to my delay arsenal. It’s super easy to use and extremely vibey. The 3 different models make it versatile and it sounds great, well done Phantom Sounds!

Multi Grammy Award-winning record producer (Coldplay, Jay-Z, Portishead, PJ Harvey)Use the discount code PHANTOMWELCOME to bring the price down from the sale price of $9 to $6.30. There is a trial version available at the below link too, so you may want to check that out first. And, for anyone who checks this out, I’d love to get your thoughts in this thread. That said, I have no idea how long this sale or the discount code will last, so you probably want to act fast on a deal this good. I don’t even know if the developer intended this coupon code to work on this sale price or not. You won’t find any other forum, group, or blog mentioning this deal — at least i didn’t after some intensive searches. So, if you see a deal pop up with it after this post, you know who had it first.

So do you regret the purchase now?

The Creative Sauce one part that really appealed to me was the delay on vocals. I liked it on guitars on these two videos:
Has anyone here used it, and if so, I would love to get your thoughts — buy or pass?
The official LinkedMusicians account
Tried it for about 5 minutes. Nothing special. I passed.

I loaded in a JP-8000 ROM and it worked but the JP8080 didn’t. I uninstalled it as it crackled really badly and sound cut out whenever the mouse cursor moved over the GUI. Reason 13
Just what Is said… Only 8000.
8080 is disabled and in development, that’s it.
Thanks. yeah. Did you have any problems with crackling/ sound breaking up?
Probably! Unfortunately I only have a real old cpu and therefore haven’t tried it yet as it will be hopeless…
The best you can do is to follow the support discussion on https://dsp56300.wordpress.com/je8086/ under Menu>Discord or/and the FAQ as well.
Good luck, have fun.
Thanks man.

December 30, 2025 at 3:02 pm in reply to: 🆓 The Usual Suspects Release FREE Roland JP-8000 emulation #1000041510@mrfigg I own M-Tron Pro, M-Tron Pro IV, and the expansions Dust-o-Tron (I am a long time customer and fan of Pendle’s work), The Streetly Tapes M300, and Volumes 5 and 6. Since other Streetly Tapes are not an option, I was contemplating picking up the Chambertron. Do you have that one, and what do you think, based on the expansions you own, would be a great next one for me to get?
The official LinkedMusicians account
I don’t think any of the M-Tron Tape banks are included. The Lament expansion comes under the preset packs.
I personally like Chambertron. I have the GForce one and also the Reason Rack Extension.
I’m a little bit irritated because I’d like to have all the M-Tron Tapes. I have half of them. Buying the other 8 would be almost as expensive as buying M-Tron Complete. Even with the dynamic discounts. If I’d really been on the ball I’d have used the BF20 coupon which would have taken of the VAT. But I wasn’t so I guess I’ll just need to wait and see what deals they come up with in the future.
1@MrFigg There was a time when you were helping — okay, attempting to help — me curb my spending on plugins and sample libraries. Now I look at your posts and it’s pretty much clear that we’ve both fallen off the wagon (and American expression when an alcoholic starts drinking again; and ftr, I’m not an alcoholic, but I definitely do have a plugin/sample library buying habit, and posting deals isn’t exactly helping me with it) and have some similar tastes, although I think you’re actually a guitarist, and while I played beginner guitar, my tendinitis makes that completely out, so I’m purely using guitar sample libraries.
Clearly M-Tron is one of our shared weaknesses. I love the thing. I was going to write that I’m a sucker for Tron libraries, but I’m also a sucker for piano libraries, for Wurly libraries, guitar libraries, bass libraries, acoustic drum libraries, glockenspiel libraries, and string libraries. I tend to not use synth, brass, woodwinds or full on orchestral libraries as much, so I’m significantly stronger in that area. For the most part — except for the strings — I’m going after the instruments in my home growing up that I loved to play and record on multitrack reel-to-reel and cassette.
Maybe I should create a forum or subforum for us to work on strategies for buying LESS stuff? I’m serious. If you want me to do it, let me know. Obviously, I would have a good deal of humility in creating and posting there, as I’m pretty terrible about managing my GAS. Except that I MOSTLY only buy inexpensive stuff when there are ridiculously good deals. Stuff like UAD Signature V2 for $124 back in August, Musio 1 for $179 on 2024 Black Friday (sure, it went lower, but I still think that was an amazing deal; now it’s only available for $399)…. What could we call this subforum? GASoholics unanimous? We could just use it to make a lot of jokes about this habit most of us share. Seriously. Let me know! We need to inject more fun into the site.
The official LinkedMusicians account
Haha. Yeah, we’re strong together. I’m not sure where my GAS has gone really. I have a few strategies which more often than not take away the impulse buy. Would you like me to list them? They may be of use :). And yeah, those Tron tapes are becoming an obsession. But they’re way too expensive I think. I wouldn’t mind so much if there wasn’t VAT on top and that the price is in £s.
You’re welcome and yeah, just via the newsletter so could be a server issue of some kind. Perhaps try another e-mail, otherwise if there’s another code, I’ll post it here.
Thanks. That’d be great. I waited until this morning and the code has expired.
