Plugin Boutique’s summer deals continue, and today, we will look into a great discounted bundle with some old but still quite useful instruments.
AIR Legends Pack from AIR Music Tech is currently on sale on Plugin Boutique for the low price of $9.99 until July 5. That is a whopping 94% off.
The bundle includes 3 classic instrument plugins from AIR Music Tech. These instruments are fairly old but still sound great and can be a great addition to your music production arsenal.
If you’ve heard about one plugin from this bundle, it is most likely Xpand!2, an absolute classic in the digital music production world.
Xpand!2 is a “powerhouse synth containing over 2500 presets covering every imaginable sound”. And that is not an overstatement. It really does offer pretty much any sound you’d want, in a user-friendly package.
You’ve got anything from pads, ambiances, and sound FX to big leads, organs, pianos, basses, and even percussion and loops.
The sounds are organized into categories, which makes the browser much easier to navigate. You can layer up to 4 patches and dial in macros, FX, and some general settings for each.
Xpand!2 is a great tool to have in your back pocket if you ever need a sound but don’t want to buy its own dedicated instrument or plugin. Just find what you need in the patches, and off you go.
Next up is DB-33 which is “an authentic recreation of the classic tonewheel organ”. The sound we all know and love from pop and classic rock.
You’ll have most likely heard the sounds of the tonewheel organ in bands like Deep Purple and The Doors. And DB-33 sounds great as an emulation of that classic organ sound.
And lastly, the bundle includes Vacuum Vintage, an instrument that emulates classic valve-based analog synths.
It is a powerful synthesizer that was originally a plugin exclusive to Pro Tools, but over time got developed into an AU/VST2 plugin as well.
With its 2 oscillators, 2 LFOs, 2 envelopes, full mod wheel control, a number of effects, and an arpeggiator, Vacuum Vintage gives you a lot of control over crafting your synth sounds.
The plugins in AIR Legends Pack run on 64-bit Windows and macOS machines in VST2 and AU formats.
However, beware that “Full Apple silicon (M1) support is not available, but the VST plugin may be compatible with some DAWs if run using Rosetta”.
