Arturia Pigments
Let’s stay with Arturia for a moment. They landed a big hit with the Pigments 3 Synthesizer. Debuted as a wavetable/VA synth, the virtual instrument has been transformed into a multi-engine plugin through constant free updates.
Its well-thought-out color-coded user interface and the many deep creative features make Pigments one of the most modern software synths on the market. Hard to miss the French answer to Massive, Sylenth1, Serum. It’s now available with a 50% OFF discount until December 8th, 2021.
Martinic AX73
One of the most special analog synthesizers of the 80s was the AX73. It was Akai’s answer to the legendary Juno with a single DCO per voice, filter with lowpass and highpass, ADSR envelope, LFO … This year we got a great emulation of this vintage instrument from Martinic.
With a drilled out engine with two layers with two oscillators each, more performance options, new effects … the AX73 is not just a software replica. It’s a big further development of this non-classic from the past. If you want the character of the Akai AX73 in your sound arsenal, you shouldn’t miss the Martinic BF sale.

Cherry Audio Plugins
The Arturia V Collection 8 is too expensive for you? Then take a look at the plugins from Cherry Audio.

Only recently devote the developer the iconic ARP Quadra a software version.
You can get them even cheaper at the end-of-year sale. Prices start at €20 for the ARP 2600 or Juno-106 emulations. For €5 more there is an Oberheim Eight Voice or Korg MS-20 in software.

Madrona Labs
Once more into the world of indie Synthesizer plugins. One of my favorite here is Madrona Labs. The plugins that are developed by Randy Jones are special in many ways. Interfaces that speak a very special language. Unique, cozy, and intuitive. No uniformity.
The Madrona Labs plugins also sound experimental, organic, and rich. Aalto, heavily inspired by Buchla synths, is a beautiful, organic-sounding Synthesizer that enriches every sound arsenal. A must-have for experimental musicians. The same applies for Kaivo which pairs a granular sampler with physical modeling.
For a limited time, you can save 30% OFF on all plugins. The discounts are applied at checkout. Definitely one of the more extraordinary developers in this best Synthesizer plugin deals for Black Friday weekend article.
Reason 12 Rack Plugin
Not a Synthesizer plugin per se, but a modular sound studio. With the introduction of the Rack Plugin, the Reason DAW has been transformed into a modular, patchable synth plugin.

KV331 Audio Plugins
The plugins from KV331 Audio should not be missing from this list. Mainly because they offer a lot for a very fair price. If you are more on the budget, you should take a look at SynthMaster. This is a dual-layer Synthesizer with many oscillator power (wavetable, vector, VA…), multi-samples/SFZ support, tons of filters, advanced modulators, and more.
A power horse of a Synthesizer plugin for only 32 € during the Black Friday weekend. And for ten bucks more, you can spice up the deal with its little but not less exciting brother Synthmaster One which is an inexpensive alternative to Serum and Massive X.
