Ruben at Samplecast came across this $1 deal on Hybrid3, which had to take him some effort to find (p9 of previous deals!). Hybrid already comes with 1200 presets but dropdown menu also reveals a 128-preset expansion for another $1. Among other things, Hybrid3 does pads extremely well, whether...
Ruben at Samplecast came across some $1/£1 plugins, including this one, which took some effort to find (p9 of previous deals!). The dropdown menu also reveals a 128-preset expansion for another $1. The offer ends on 7/24:

Budget and what format? Samples? Loops? Sampler (Kontakt, Halion, etc.) files? VST plugin? Cloud subscription?
MusicRadar has a free loop section.
Loopmasters currently has a 50% sale going.
This one for free Aria Player is hard to beat and it's on sale until midnight. It lists these...
So, I opened up an AIR delay the other day and was reminded of, not only how many AIR plugins I got with an AIEP3 crossgrade, but also how many presets they came loaded with. I've also been digging into Structure and reminding myself how easily it slices and re-arranges REX2 loops. My AIR...
For the next two weeks, an Impact Soundworks Shreddage Bundle (electric guitar) is on sale at VSTbuzz:

Custom Shop is a PITA but IK seems to be doing a better job with the plugins themselves. I began to avoid using SampleTank and my T-Racks stuff because of repeated re-authorization issues. For a lark, I just opened a few in Reaper and they ran fine. I don't ever recall having to re-authorize...
You're getting good advice. I don't have a lot of time right now but there are a lot of previous posts that deal with your very same question. Here's a recent one with a number of inexpensive suggestions to pursue:
Recommend a synth for warm pads?
The bad news is that you're about to be...
A caveat about the DPS-II (and most likely the TPS-II also) from a Sound On Sound review ( ART DPS II | )
"Phantom Foibles
Phantom power can be switched to the mic XLRs, but the rear panel also offers balanced inputs, wired in parallel on both jacks and XLRs, which are designed to handle...
UVI Grand Piano Collection (Model D, Fazioli F278, Erard Baby Grand, Seiler Upright and Yamaha C7 Grand) is on sale for $64 through 6/25.
This looks interesting. I don't have this but I do have a lot of other Embertone libraries and I do like them. The Lite version of this is pretty...
It's a good time for string libraries (of which, you can never have enough!):
Ridiculously reduced: Flash sale for 8DIO's Adagietto ($48), until 7/1

I don't know if it's a nascent net-neutrality loss effect, but the website was unusually...
Chris,
The bad news: Buying Omnisphere wouldn't necessarily resolve the issue for you because it comes with thousands of patches and you would still have to audition and identify---and that's assuming that the factory patch hasn't been tweaked by the composer before, automated during, or...

I had to shoot out another posting because of this guy: Here's a nice orchestral freebie (strings, brass and winds) from Red Room Audio:

Surprised by this one---definitely more than your average freebie!
An inexpensive granular synth ($10), already...

Some cue points of interest would be helpful. I'll be respectful of your need if you're respectful of my time. In the first video I hear different pads at different times, although a basic airy orchestral pad seems to be used a lot. In the second video the pad strikes me as more of a...
No problem, but I think I may have missed pointing out one that just went off sale that looks like it has some versatility and was right in your target range ($50)---Strezov Sampling's Distort.
I'm still not sure what your primary need is. You'll see that it's not only sounds but also...
Hypernode does MIDI-learn. Not much around that doesn't these days.

I also noticed that Rigid Audio's latest offering, Granulat, is on intro sale at the Rigid Audio website or Kontakt Hub for $10.

I'm just trying to get a better handle on what you're after. There are so many different guitar libraries available because there are so many different guitar categories: electric (clean, distorted, metal, cinematic, ambient, 7-string, baritone), acoustic (6-string steel, 6-string nylon...
Kontakt instrument sale (and freebies) at Homegrown Sounds. I'm a big fan of the value and service this guy provides to his customers. Stochastic and aleatoric are two terms that get murdered and misused with some Kontakt libraries but, if you like surprising yourself, the Augment Group Buy...
