Creative FX Collection Plus Black Friday Deal 2026: $39, 80% off

The Creative FX Collection Plus Black Friday deal is 80% off, $39, with the offer ending Nov 26, 2026, on an AIR Music Technology effects bundle that holds 28 plugins: twenty classic AIR effects plus eight new ones.

The classic twenty come from the AIR Creative FX suite that has shipped inside Pro Tools since version 8. This is the first time they arrive as AU and VST plugins, so you can use them in other DAWs.

The maker says the suite is a reference effects set for professionals and has turned up in film, game and music projects over the last decade.

What is in the Creative FX Collection Plus?

The collection covers reverbs, delays, modulation, filters, distortion, EQ and dynamics, aimed at production, mixing and mastering.

The twenty classic effects are:

• Modulation: AIR Chorus, Ensemble, Flanger, Multi-Chorus, Phaser
• Reverb: AIR Reverb, Non-Linear Reverb, Spring Reverb
• Delay: AIR Multi-Delay (up to five delay lines), Dynamic Delay
• Colour and filtering: Distortion, Fuzz-Wah, Lo-Fi, Enhancer, Kill EQ, Vintage Filter, Filter Gate
• Other: Frequency Shifter, Stereo Width, Talkbox

AIR Dynamic Delay syncs to session tempo and can be modulated by an envelope follower. Lo-Fi bit-crushes, down-samples, clips and rectifies the signal. Kill EQ removes the low, mid or high band outright, a move common in dance music and DJ sets.

What are the eight new effects?

The new plugins were built by the AIR team from customer feedback and requests.

• AIR Pumper: a rhythmic pumping effect like sidechain compression, with adjustable speed, depth and envelope shape
• AIR Spectral: analyses incoming frequencies, level and MIDI notes, then decides which frequencies reach the resynthesized output
• AIR Diffusor Delay: a tempo-synced delay with adjustable diffusion, mimicking how echoes dissipate in a reverberant space
• AIR Tube Drive: the sound of a signal pushed through a mildly overdriven tube amp, giving a smooth distortion
• AIR Compressor: reduces gain automatically once the signal passes the threshold
• AIR Maximizer: a limiter tuned for mastering
• AIR Parametric EQ: four bands, each with its own independent range
• AIR Saturation Filter: filters the incoming signal, then runs it through a selectable distortion type

Formats, compatibility and extras

The twenty classic effects come as AU 64, VST 32 and VST 64. The eight new effects come as AU 64, AAX 64, VST 32 and VST 64.

Pro Tools users already have the twenty classics in their DAW, so only the eight new effects are supplied to them in AAX.

The interface has been redone with support for higher resolution displays. Support is included for Virtual Instrument Player 2.0 on premium controllers from Akai Professional, M-Audio and Alesis, for Akai Professional's MPC Software, and for the Mixmeister DJ and remix software.

AIR also offers a free 15-day unlimited trial, and a crossgrade path exists for owners of Pro Tools 8 and up with the Creative FX Collection that comes with select hardware.
