It’s almost that time of year again, where deals and offers on music software, sample packs, software instruments, and hardware are aplenty. That’s right; we’re talking about Black Friday and Cyber Monday. Every year there’s always a wide range of deals and cheap virtual instruments available from some of our most popular brands. So, we thought we’d take a look at last year’s deals, and try and predict some of the offers that could be available to music producers this year!
We’ll be adding deals to our website throughout the month – for the latest offers, head over to our list of 2019 Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals.
May 04, 2019 That’s why we created the “Aperture” Omnisphere 2 Presets Bank. Hand crafted by award winning producers, these Omnisphere 2 trap presets will take your production to the next level. Omnisphere 2.6 includes a stunning new “Hardware Library” with over 1,600 new patches created by Eric Persing and the renowned Spectrasonics Sound Development team. Each hardware profile has a corresponding set of sounds in the Hardware Library which were specially designed using that hardware synth as an Omnisphere controller.
Spectrasonics
There’s no doubt that a Spectrasonics Black Friday sale would be the best case scenario for many producers. Although we’re still yet to see a Spectrasonics Black Friday sale, stranger things have happened! Spectrasonics recently announced the version 2.5 update for Omnisphere which added in a whole host of features including hardware synth integration. Maybe Spectrasonics will celebrate this new update with a special Spectrasonics Black Friday sale? Plus it doesn’t hurt to dream of big discounts on products such as Omnisphere 2.5, Keyscape, and Trilian.
iZotope
Last year, iZotope blessed us with a plethora of substantial Black Friday deals. This included savings of up to 78% on their award-winning Ozone, Neutron, and RX lines of software. Many of you I’m sure will have your fingers crossed for big deals on their RX7 range of plugins so you can get your audio sounding immaculate for the new year. iZotope have already announced some of the deals you can take advantage of this year, including up to 50% off their updated Music Production Suite 2, and up to 40% off brand new Nectar 3 which includes Celemony Melodyne Elements.
Toontrack
Last year no line of Toontrack products were safe from a Black Friday price slash. We saw discounts on their EZdrummer, EZkeys, EZmix, and Superior Drummer ranges, and they seem to be following up on that trend this year. We already have offers on EZdrummer2 and EZkeys Essential Pianos, not to mention the special offers on all EZX and SDX drum expansions! Therefore if you’re an existing EZdrummer or Superior Drummer user, you don’t have to worry about waiting before expanding your arsenal of top-notch drum kits. Last year’s Toontrack deals included some crazy one-day offers as well, will those make a return for 2018?
Native Instruments
2018 was undoubtedly Native Instruments‘ year. We saw the release of several new pieces of hardware and software which continue to fly off our shelves months after they were first released. And it doesn’t take much imagination to figure out why. Native Instruments‘ Komplete Kontrol line of MIDI keyboards and their Komplete 12 software suite is a match made in heaven, and many producers across the world were smart enough to make sure they didn’t pass on the opportunity to drastically speed up their workflow and increase their productivity. Due to how new these titles are we’re hesitant to believe that Native Instruments will be offering any ground-breaking deals, although we wouldn’t be surprised to see special offers on older pieces of hardware like their Komplete Audio 6 audio interface and MASCHINE Jam controller.
Output
Output is a brand renowned for their lack of special offers, and in fact, many people wouldn’t blame you for thinking you’d have a better chance at spotting Big Foot! Although Output have certainly dropped the frugal facade this year and have shown their generosity by offering 25% off all Output titles! This includes their latest title Analog Brass & Winds and fan favourites such as Exhale and REV. This is one Black Friday deal that you certainly won’t want to pass on.
Softube
Swedish supremos Softube have joined the likes of iZotope and Toontrack by announcing many of their Black Friday deals weeks before the big event has even started. And to be honest, having seen how big the special offers are, we can’t blame them for not being able to hold in their excitement for any longer! Right now you can save 60% on their Spring Reverb plugin, 33% on their brand new Harmonics effects plugin, and 20% off their award-winning Console 1 MkII Hardware Controller!
Gothic Instruments
2018 has undoubtedly been an exciting year for Gothic Instruments as they announced several new titles and most importantly their huge DRONAR Master Edition which was 3 years in the making! It has proved to be incredibly popular with our composer and producer friends, and we’re sure if you haven’t’ already picked up at least 1 DRONAR module you’ll want to as soon as you’ve heard them in action! Could they celebrate another fantastic year with a generous sale? They certainly did last year with savings as high as 60%, and many of you I’m sure will have your fingers crossed for another batch of generous special offers this year.
FabFilter
With many of the most powerful plugins on the market today, there is a trend to put a thousand controls on the GUI. FabFilter buck this with easily accessible interfaces and serious oomph behind the scenes. We’re yet to feel out of our depth when tuning one from scratch, although the presets are some of the best designed and instantly usable that we’ve ever come across – they’ve got one for every eventuality, including a generous wealth of mastering options. With a lack of any major new releases FabFilter could be inclined to treat fans to a discount on some of their best-selling titles. Possible options could be their ‘pro’ series of plugins, or maybe even a general discount off all FabFilter plugins? I guess we’ll just have to wait and see…

Omnisphere and serum: Two giants of the software synth world.
We’ve all wondered how they compare to each other, and today, after thorough analysis of both, we will come up with a winner.
It is, however, important to note that this article isn’t an attempt to determine which one of these beastly VSTs are ‘the best.’
What is actually the best is far too subjective for any one person to ascertain.
What you are about to read is merely a comparison of 2 industry leading virtual instruments in order to help you understand the differences and similarities between them.
If you’re on the fence about purchasing either one, or if you own both and struggle with which one to use for a particular task, you could benefit from the information in this article.
If you’re not familiar with either of these, we strongly recommend checking them out.
You should also check out splice, where you can try out serum and other plugins for free for 3 days and then pay a monthly fee starting at 4.99$.
We’ll start with the most obvious differences, then we will break things down into various sections:
Obvious Differences
Omnisphere 2 is an 8-part multitimbral VSTi, meaning you can play up to 8 different sounds at once with one instantiation.
Serum can only play one sound at a time, so if you want to play more than that, you’ll have to have to use a different instantiation for each different sound you use from it.
Cyber Monday 2016 Date
Spectrasonics hasn’t provided a demo of Omnisphere 2 yet, so there is no way to test it out unless you buy it. A demo version of Serum is available with Splice.
To get more acquainted with each synth, please check out the links below:
Oscillators
Omnisphere 2 comes withover 400 new waveforms each of which is a morphing wavetable.
Ethnic instruments and unusual sound sources like a burning piano are also included and can be used as oscillators.
Additionally, you can add your own sounds and use those as oscillators or mangle them in the granular synthesis section.
However, when compared to other dedicated granular synths like Mangle or PadShop, Omnisphere 2 falls a bit short in terms of editing features.
Serum on the other hand, comes with 144 wavetables and also gives you the ability to draw waveforms or load your own sounds and use them as oscillators.
Aside from being an “advanced wavetable synth”, Serum is also capable of performing additive and VA synthesis with classic waveforms (saw, square etc.) + a sub oscillator + noise oscillator.
Because of the array of waveforms and synthesis techniques that can be applied in both synths, they both could very well be referred to as modern hybrid synthesizers.
Filters
Serum has a variety of filter types. All the filters from Xfer’s LFOTool are included in addition to some new ones like Flangers, Phasers and the dirty sounding French LPF.
There are also Dual Filter types allowing you to morph between filter types.
Omnisphere 2 boasts a more flexible filter engine and 8 new filters giving you the ability to create your own filter sound with stereo control, drive and a host of other parameters to further customize your filters.
Also, it now includes all of the filters from GForce Software’s virtual synth, “impOSCar”.
Modulators
Personally, my favorite thing about Serum’s modulators is how easy it is to drag and drop a modulation source to a destination.
This makes for a much faster workflow when creating or editing complex a patch.
Then there are the drawable LFOs, Envelopes and Macros which, depending on your preference, are more fun to play with than mousing around with percentages or virtual knobs.
Omnisphere’s Modulation Matrix is unbelievably massive and flexible!
Almost every parameter can be modulated and there are a plethora of modulation sources and targets.
All 4 Effect Racks’ parameters, all the granular parameters, all the FM parameters, numerous parameters in the arpeggiator and envelopes can all be modulated by a multitude of sources.
But with all this modulation power, there is no drag and drop ability.
Effects
Cyber Monday 2016 Omnisphere 2 Review
In addition to Serum’s classic synth effects and advanced effects such as a multiband compressor, Serum can be used as a dedicated FX processor as well.
Off the top of my head, the only other synths I can think of that have this feature are Native Instruments Absynth 5, FM8 and Reaktor 6.
The results of running an audio source through an effect with synthesizer parameters can be extremely inspiring and a lot of fun!
Omnisphere 2 has a wider variety of effects.
Vintage effects like echoes, choruses and compressors as well as various reverb types are included.
And remember, all of the parameters in each effect can be modulated. This does come at the cost of higher CPU usage, however.
I’d be curious to see what kinds of sounds could be generated if Omnisphere 2 was able to be used as a dedicated FX processor, but that feature isn’t available.

Overall Winner
Cyber Monday 2016 Omnisphere 2 Free
I think Omnisphere 2 has a better sound library and is well-rounded as far as sound selection thanks to some of the best sound designers of our time, Eric Persing and Diego Stocco. Therefore, it takes the prize.

Serum may have a more flexible wavetable engine and deeper sound design capabilities with the wavetable editor, formulas and additive engine.
