Not sure if anyone’s posted this already, but Production Voices has a good sale on at the moment.
Highlights are their SFZ pianos (the Compact versions) for $39 each and the Concert Grand LE for $59 an absolute bargain (if you have the processing power to use it).
I bought the Kawai Estate Piano and the Concert Grand Compact the other day, I find both to be phenomenal value for money (the Kawai being a specialist tone, very bright, while the Concert Grand is just lush, warm, full, amazing!)
Also, Orchestral Tools are offering their Tableau Solo Strings (in partnership with Organic Samples) at an introductory price of €89…it sounds really good to my ears, great price for such a well crafted library.
EDIT: Bought this last night and this morning decided to give it a quick test…two hours later I’m still sitting here and just playing whatever comes through me…so emotive, such a beautiful sound!!! The samples are fairly short and the dynamics on sustain are (very) limited, but somehow it doesn’t hinder the product, the library sounds phenomenal still!
Retro Piano for iOS is free - available for a limited time
Also L7 Looper is $3 (usually $10)

I notice the Tascam Model 16 Hybrid Analog Mixer Digital Recorder Interface is $100 off. The price on sale is now $700. This deal is available at multiple places, and seems to be good through July 31st. Check around at your favorite online seller. Plus Tascam is throwing in a free mic TM-80 and headphones TH-02. See details of the extra freebies at the Tascam website. There are details of other freebies and deals at that site too.
So the other part of this deal is money off (a mail in rebate i think) on the Tascam Handheld Recorders. This includes the DR-05X, DR-07X, DR-40X, and DR-701D. Plus there is a free SD Card with these too. So if you want to start collecting sounds for your sampler here you go.

The Novation Launchpad X Grid Controller for Ableton Live is $50 off (or at least $30) and is now $150. This is at many different online sellers, at least in the USA.

I notice that Sweetwater (in the USA) has a special call in deal on the Behringer WASP that takes the price down under $300. This is a limited deal, not sure the story.
I guess it’s no secret the Behringer WASP (along with the CAT) has a special sound in a very controllable package, for not a lot of money.

Spotted that last night. I’m on KU11 and wouldn’t mind Electric Sunburst and strummed acoustic 2 but might hold off to KU13
Edit - fuck it. Caved and went for it. The added FX are nice and actually looked at Massive more and realised how good it sounded. So that plus Electric Sunburst, SA2 and a few other things (like Hybrid Keys) basically won me over. Why wait for KU13 when I could be playing with this stuff now. I’ll likely cave on when KU13 hits a sale in the future - Super 8 sounds lovely too and bound to be included.

Eventide Plugins on sale
Rotary Mod:
Swirly Leslie Cab Modulation
Rotary Mod is a rotating speaker effect that simulates a Leslie cabinet. Just like the original sound derived from the uber-famous Hammond organ’s Leslie speaker cabinet, the plug-in produces a pulse-like vibrato effect depending on the speed of rotation. Rotary offers precise control to dial in the exact amount of movement you need. This classic, swirly effect has been used on countless hit records to drastically transform guitars, bass, synths and even vocals. Notably used by The Beatles, Beach Boys, The Band, Cream, and Pink Floyd, this iconic emulation brings that classic ’60s whirling modulation bliss into the 21st century on your laptop or the palm of your hand.
MicroPitch
Dual Voice Pitch-Shifter + Special FX
MicroPitch is a fine-resolution pitch shifter for subtle tone fattening, plus delays for dramatic slap back effects. MicroPitch is the latest incarnation of an iconic effect originated by Eventide in the 1970s. With each generation, Eventide has added refined, enhanced and built-on it’s legendary predecessors.
MicroPitch can take you beyond the run-of-mill stereo spread effects of simple micropitch plugins. It goes above and beyond by allowing you to mix in detuned and delayed versions of your source, creating depth and dimensions not possible before. With its expanded controls you can achieve deep pitch dives, haunting echoes, and pristine chorusing effects.
Crystals
60% off Eventide Crystals introductory sale, now $39 instead of $99:
https://www.jrrshop.com/eventide-crystals
Eventide Crystals combines twin reverse pitch shifters with reverse delays and reverb. This iconic H3000 Harmonizer® effect can be used to create out-of-this-world climbing and cascading pitched delays and unique sounding reverbs. It features two reverse granular delays that can be manipulated by length and pitch. Crystals excels at adding life to synths, guitar, and vocals making them sound huge and majestic. From sound design to other-worldly solos, Crystals will spark inspiration.

Massive or Massive X?
I can’t install Massive X, so it just sneers at me, and I sneer back. We have an understanding.

Possible USA and Europe only (?) - Free Waves Element 2, IK Multimedia T-RackS ONE among other things by downloading the app magazine app “Readly”, then loading the magazine “Beat”. You may need to do a free trial though for me I could freely read the magazine and follow the directions to register the cover cd material without a trial.
If it wasn’t for my love of actual paper magazines (and lack of comfort reading a magazine on a device) I could almost see myself getting a legit subscription to the app.
Quite a bit of content for the money (has Future Music and other magazines I enjoy).
I don’t know if this is news or not but the MPC One is stupid cheap at the moment

isn’t $699 USD normal street price?

I thought so too. Unless people were marking it up to 799 on reverb when there was a shortage. There’s still a shortage now but sometimes we all want to know we were the first ones ones who bought that MPC model
Ahh OK. Just a massive difference from the list price, seems to be odd marketing practice for a new piece of gear.

Standard practice (cough BS) from AKAI. The MPC Live 2 lists at $1999 and sells for 40% less.
