The Black by Thenatan Audio Black Friday deal takes 87% off this multi-layer virtual instrument for trap, hip-hop and R&B, bringing it to $10 until Nov 19, 2026.
Black is a plugin for building bass, lead and keys patches from four stacked sample layers. The maker pitches it at trap, lo-fi, hip-hop and drill producers who want solid-sounding basses, unusual leads or hybrid keys.
Each of the four layers has its own sampler, so you stack sounds and shape them separately. An XY Circle blends the layers, and an XY Pad browses and mixes them quickly.
The sample pool is 200 x 4 samples plus extras, packed into a library of about 150 MB. The maker says this lets you build complex patches without much effort.
You can bypass layers or swap samples by hand. Attack and release, a stereo widener and a colorize control are on hand for the layered patch.
The Mixer page covers the per-layer balance, with real-time waveform views:
The samplers also carry their own filters, reverse, pan, gain and tuning. A Pitch Designer adds vibrato and pitch envelopes.
On the playing side, you can transpose the MIDI input and set pitch bend up and down. Tremolo speed, glide time and velocity sensitivity are adjustable, and transpose runs ±24.
Built-in effects:
There are 100 factory presets in a preset browser, and patches can be shared. The interface is animated and fully resizable up to 200%, which helps on high-resolution screens.
Black runs on Mac and PC and is compatible with all updates, so the Black plugin fits into a Mac or Windows setup without extra steps.
